HBO Series "The Night Of" (1 Viewer)

I think Freddy and the rest of the inmates are working together to con Naz somehow into thinking he needs "protection", and then using that for some unknown end. When they torched his bed and were glaring at him it all seemed a little cartoonish.

Pretty good piece on how violent Rikers is.

I have a buddy who got tossed in here once.  Coming home from an REM concert in NYC to our beach house we'd rented for the summer in LBI.  He got lost looking for the Lincoln Tunnel and pulled over to ask a cop for directions.  Cop smelled beer on his breath, pulled him out of the car, made him blow - .11%.  Tossed him in the back of a squad car and took him away.  It was a Friday night, so they couldn't get him before a judge until Monday, they bussed him to Riker's and held him there for 2 1/2 days.  He wasn't in prison, just in a holding cell, but at one point he told the guards he had to take a dump so they took him to a prisoner's cell - said convict(s) were out in the yard.  He took a crunch in the dude's cell and then realized there was no toilet paper.  So he grabbed the guy's shirt off his bed and wiped his keister with that, then tossed the ####-soiled shirt back onto his bed.  Spent the next day and a half petrified that somehow the guy would find out that he'd done it and get to him somehow.

Whoa.  Your buddy voluntarily talked to a policeman while driving drunk?  This one's not too bright.

 
Why the focus on the eczema?  Anyone think it's going to play a bigger role in the overall story? They've sure spent a lot of time on it if it's simply developing Stone's character.

Could be just to help develop his character, show how bad he has it.

Could be some type of metaphor for who he is.  Like he should be embarrassed for the type of lawyer he is.

My thought last night though was that he is going to have some revelation about a clue in the case due to some treatment for it.  Wrapping it in Saran wrap?  Who knows.

Yeah, the last 10 minutes or so weren't good.  They couldn't have pushed a plot point any harder than if they'd had closed captioning at the bottom of the screen saying "In exchange for protection, Naz's mom will have to smuggle drugs into prison in her hoo hoo"

Right. But, he's a rube.

 
I have a feeling things are not going to work out well for Stone.  Guy looks like he wants to do the right thing, but those are the guys that get crapped on the most.

According to this article

In Peter Moffat’s ‘Criminal Justice,’ [the character] does have eczema, but we took that to a much further degree in our story,” said co-creator Steve Zaillian in an interview, referring to the original BBC series on which “The Night Of” is based. “It really became a part of his character and bedevils his life. It’s something that became — I guess you could call it a subplot – essential to his character.”


...

“It actually becomes even more important in the last episode,” Zaillian added.

Has anyone watched the BBC series this is based on?  I started to watch it on Hulu and shut it off after 10 minutes due to the potential of spoiling the HBO version.  

 
Watching episode 1 again. There's no blood on him at all when he found her.  No way it could've been him.

This show is amazing.  Up there with Season 1 True Detective for me...not quite as high, but close second in the mystery dramas.  

 
I think the mom is pretty hot actually.

Good episode. Still waiting for Box to start sniffing around and uncover some ####. I doubt this plays out like a legal thriller where he takes it upon himself to free Nas but I can't see him willfully ignoring the truth of what he finds.

Planted another seed of the step father being a suspect.

 
This show is incredible. Best television I've seen in a long time, potential to be one of the best shows of all time. Just so good.

What was the stepfather seed?

 
Had a bad feeling he was going to plead guilty, and future episodes would reveal that he isn't. I thought it was heading where the show ended with him on the hook for his term, with everyone knowing he was innocent. Still might get there, but there's hope for Nas yet. That fake friend who prison napalmed him might have a bad time next week.

Do we know for a fact he's innocent?  That would be kind of a mind#### if he starts remembering things and realizes he did it.

Sopranos Janice looks exactly like she did. Sopranos Benny looks terrible.

Nah, we don't. I think he's innocent, but don't really know. I thought tonight was the best episode yet, and am really looking forward to next week. I do think his maybe-new lawyer and Turturro believe he's innocent and they're going to all they can to try and help prove it,

After the premiere, I thought tonight's episode was the best too. I'm not saying he did do it by the way, I just think that'd be a "shocker" type scenario they could pull. Honestly only see two really shocking scenarios:

1. We find out he actually did it. 

2. The police/DA find out who the killer is, but decide to prosecute anyway because they know they're going to win. 

Or it could follow along the normal route, where we find out who the killer is and Tuturro gets Naz off and everyone ends up happy. 

 
Question for the criminal attorneys...If your being held without bail and your life is endangered while in jail are you confined in jail?

Generally, yes. If there's a legitimate threat or prior attack the inmate will very likely be placed in a pod/area that's basically always on lock down. 

I'm sure this answer varies by facility and policy.

I'm thinking he gets wrongfully convicted with one episode left and the final episode will get him out.

I sort of think somewhere along the way the real killer will be put in Rikers for some other crime and give a jailhouse confession that "Omar" will learn about and put Naz in a position he has to pay for the information to get him off.

It seems like the cat and the deer head will somehow be part of the resolution. 

It appeared that while the court room scene was going on and he was giving his supposed confession statement, Naz was having moments of clarity from "the night of" - and those memories will become more clear as the series goes on.
