"The Night Of" HBO Mini Series
 

Season 1 just showed up as a Box Set on my Sky box, so I've just bingewatched it all.

Pretty good :thumbsup

Anyone else seen this and if so, what'ya think?

Ha! I just found out its a remake of a British show from 08 / 09

Never saw the UK one :)

Excellent show. Spoiler : His feet killed her.

Good series.

Must be poo if you liked it.

I really liked it. I enjoy crime shows like that where they take their time to dig into the details of the case.

I thought it was great other than the kid managing to get the female attorney to smuggle drugs in for him. That girl has spent 7-8 years of her life to get where she is, I highly doubt she is going to make that stupid of a mistake.

I thought it was good for the most part, but felt a bit robbed with the ending. So much set up and great story telling to have it end in a rush as if the script was passed over to another writer for the last episode who didn't even bother asking what the story was about. Maybe it was a budget issue or lazy people in charge, but It's like they got to the climax and said fuck it, we got paid already and called it a day.

That was my only complaint about it. She was young and new to this world so I could see how she might get caught up in the moment and kiss him, but to smuggle drugs for him is an entirely different thing.

The first episode was great, the next few were pretty good, but then it started to suck hard :/

Read the book. So many make that same mistake

Especially read the reviews

You forget the woman guard who helped those guys escape from a NY prison a couple of years ago?

Watched it up to episode 4. Not bad but a bit slow.

Episode 6 or so had a funny moment. The Lawyer had started to like the cat and had bought it all the toys etc and thrown them in the room. He then went into the bathroom and took Viagra and the soundtrack was playing 'Why do birds, suddenly appear' by the Carpenters.

When he walked back down the corridor I half expected him to go into the room and attempt to have sex with the cat!
