[detroitwalt]

The 1st ep is up on HBONOW. Officially premiers July 10th
Checking it out now

Pakistani-American college student Nasir “Naz” Khan, who lives with his parents in Queens, NY, takes his father’s taxi to go a party in Manhattan. But what starts as a perfect night for Naz becomes a nightmare when he’s arrested for murder.

Created by Steven Zaillian (“Schindler’s List,” “American Gangster”) and Richard Price (“The Color of Money,” HBO’s “The Wire”), the eight-part HBO limited series production THE NIGHT OF debuts SUNDAY, JULY 10 (9:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT), followed by hour-long episodes debuting subsequent Sundays at the same time, exclusively on HBO. The show is also available on HBO NOW, HBO GO and HBO On Demand.



Starring John Turturro (“Fading Gigolo,” “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”) and Riz Ahmed (“Nightcrawler”), and directed by Zaillian and James Marsh , from teleplays by Price and Zaillian, the show delves into the intricacies of a complex New York City murder case with cultural and political overtones. The story examines the police investigation, the legal proceedings, the criminal justice system and Rikers Island, where the accused await trial.

Pilot is great. Getting lots of good buzz from critics as well. I think this, Mr Robot and Stranger Things (Netflix) will end up as the shows of the summer.

Pilot was good.

Evidently this was idea was hatched a few years ago. Gandolfini was originally in Turturro's role as the attorney for Naz

Very good start, feels like what True Detective season 2 should of been...

No idea if he done it or not yet...

I'm getting towards the end of my yearly Sopranos binge and it always makes me think of the endless possibilities for Gandolfini. He was good in The Drop.

They actually shot a pilot with Gandolfini. He passed away I think a few weeks before they were going to start shooting the rest
