The Night Of

I thought we learned quite a bit about 2 of the main characters (Box and Jack)

 

Also, can we PLEASE stop using the "super smart detective only listens to classical music" trope?!?

 

It's been great so far. It was difficult to watch how much Naz fucked up since discovering the body.

I can't decide if it would be a good twist or a complete bummer if he actually did kill her while blacked out.

But it seems unlikely based on the lack of blood spray on his clothes and body and the fact that the knife used to cut her hand isn't the same one used to stab her to death.

 

This is too slow for me to be a weekly watch. Going to have to wait and watch it all at one time. Pretty sure I'll like it a lot more as a binge watch, has potential.

 

Probably just not coming through properly on that Sanyo tv.

 

Was actually watching it on my Mac

 

When Naz wakes up you can hear a motorcycle revving

 

Pretty funny seeing the other inmates' "fuck me" reactions when Naz's sentence was read.

 

Just getting into the axons episode and I hate this kid so much. Just listen to the person that is helping you. Fuck.

 

I feel like the stepfather is clearly involved

 

Seems like they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of casting that actor if he didn't have more of a prominent role moving forward.

 

THIS

 

as much as I love the random nasty feet jokes are that shit has to have at least something to do with a big-ish moment. I mean they showed him buying creams and shit this episode.

 

Counting down the hours

 

Preview/casting comment:

Spoiler

Hoping that we get Omar's episode tonight. Would make sense for him to be the person with inside info or whatever that's in the closed jail cell in the preview

Michael Williams

 

I definitely think we'll see Michael Williams character tonight.

 

O LEH DO IT

 

How's the feet?!???!!!

 

Damn intro exact same as true detectives...

 

Sure was.

 

Now a skin issue support group? Fuck.

 

Think that guard is Lord Jamar. All the old rappers in this.

 

Wonder what Omar's going to want for his protection

 

Pack o Newports in Omar's cell was a nice touch

 

Omar needs a grill

 

OMAR COMIN

 

Cat let me down in that episode. Gotta know not to return to the murder scene that soon after killing someone.

Prediction: Knish goes back to get the cat so he doesn't get got in the pound. Waterboards him with a milk saucer in his home until he confesses to the murder. Gets back Naz as a client and wins the case. Gets rich. Feet still fucked up

 

I'm probably over thinking it, but it may be important that the cat was back outside. The police didn't seem interested in taking care of it, why would they let it out again

 

i assumed it had been outside since she let it out before her and Naz

and Knish is gonna have the AHA! moment of that door being open still and there being a cat and maybe asks Naz about that or it comes up when someone ACTUALLY LETS HIM TELL THE STORY OF WHAT HAPPENED.

 

But Stone let it back in and fed it milk. How did it get out again?

 

I'm confused by the "how did it get out again"

She let it out when Naz came over
When did it ever come back inside until this episode when Stone let it in?
My assumption is that it had been outside the entire time (hiding in the trap house until heat was off) And it was just now returning home

it never got back "out" after he let it in to feed it milk. he took it to the shelter from there

 

It was outside again when he took it to the shelter

 

No he didn't take it straight to the shelter. He saw it again outside after he was told by Naz he wasn't his lawyer anymore.

He took the cat in when he was over doing his own investigation of the crime scene.

 

one too many mimosas yesterday I guess
cat plot thickens

 

I was on board with your "the cat did it" theory until you admitted it was mimosa influenced. Back to the drawing board

 

I wrote a post in another thread a while back about how the criminal justice system victimizes the accused, and this show does a better job than any I've ever seen at detailing how crushing the process really is. Your personal property, your time, your money, your freedom, your reputation all become property of the state before you're convicted of anything. And if you get off, which I'm assuming Naz will, the state makes no effort at reimbursement.

Now just imagine if Naz was a financial provider with dependents.

 

scene with them trying to get the cab back was cold blooded

 

This show has so much potential but it needs to pick it up imo. Pretty meh episode. Usually I have no problem with a slow burn but in a miniseries they need to move forward with the plot quicker than they're done thus far

 

Team Enjoying The Ride And Have No Problem With The Pacing

 

Yep. I know the puzzle pieces will fit in eventually.

 

Yeah that was tough, but I understood the legal issues around it after reading up some on Kimdotcom's legal issues.

 

Was pretty glad the rape-y vibes never actually came to fruition at Rikers.

Hoping they shift more to the facts/crime scene in the next few episodes. Still enjoying it, though. The cat's going to be a huge deal re: getting in and out of the apartment.

 

Yeah I hope it gets back to the actual case instead of life in prison and nasty ass feet.

 

It was.

SLOW DOWWWWN

 

The foot stuff is strange but the prison portion is extremely relevant to the show as it's more about Nas and his experience in the justice system than the whodunit aspect of the case

 

Rikers is a scary place
