The Night Of (2016– )
9/10
It's not your everyday "Murder Mystery" tale
20 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
No, it was about people and their relationships, how strained and unusual they can be. The girl didn't matter, her death was not significant, what led to her death was not required, the plot required just a dead girl with conflicted past to show true color of people around her or touched by her.

Let me just list in ways this show is different from your average/cheesy crime/courtroom drama, this can be for the best or for the worst.

1. The underdog lawyer didn't get a chance to be in the limelight by making or winning a career defining case.

2. The main lawyer/third character was not likable at all and was shown too foolish and egoistic for someone just starting themselves in the law career.

3. The main character was a buffoon and they took that buffoon and made him a serious dude in a very short span of time. I mean he didn't even know not to talk to officers without a lawyer present and by the end he was huffing crack and smuggling it in his nether places. What?

4. The family/immigrants condition was shown absolutely appropriately, yes this happens in Jackson heights and even all around America, profiling, loss of means and just everyday life problems just worse than others.

Like or hate these points but give this show a chance. My rating is 9/10. Cheers.
