The Night of. On HBO
« on: July 12, 2016, 06:45:11 AM »
Anyone watch this?  Solid first episode.  The storyline is pretty close to me.  I've always been worried about one night stands and I've had way too many.  Worried the chick would wake up and call the cops claiming rape or I'm walking into a trap where I get robbed etc...  A girl can call rape and in America today you're immediately guilty until proven innocent.  I've had similar nights to him during my raving days.  Taking a ton of drugs, meeting some chick and going back to her place to fuck and waking up not remembering shit.  Luckily I never woke up to see a stabbed dead body.

For anyone who watched it, pay attention to the morning after.  He finds the knife still on the table where he left it after stabbing her hand in the game.  It's obviously not the same knife used to murder the girl.  Her blood is dried on it from the game they played.  The other thing is about 4 times they stopped and paused the camera each time they passed the deer head.  I rewound and checked over if something seemed to change on it but nothing did.  My only guess is that there might be a security camera hidden in it.  They did make the point of showing how there are cameras everywhere.  I was laughing at the NYC cops.  At any given point he could have just got up and walked out of the station. I also found it odd how the interrogating cop just gets up and tells Naz to follow him without hand cuffs.  What cop would let a suspected murderer walk behind him uncuffed?  Also the Brew was lying that he was alone.  So far the two main suspects are the Brew Limo driver and the Brew friend with the cold stare.
This is definitely a solid show.

Sounds like two many Brews in this show.

I saw a trailer for that.  Looks really good.  I don't have HBO darnit  >:(  I think it was mentioned that it's only 8 episodes, which is perfect for a binge when available (don't be giving away any spoilers)  Is it an hour long show?

First episode is 1.5 hours then there are 7 more 1 hour episodes.  It's real good.

I've thought about it and figured out a solution that might work:

Get HBO.

Watched the first episode two night ago and it looked as if it has that same potential that season 1 of true detective though the stories aren't similar in any way.  One question in my mind was why the ( I assume) Jew lawyer felt compelled to defend the paki kid.

The Lawyer seemed to know a lot about Pakis.  He knew about 3 kinds of sects there and the kid answered if the Lawyer had been.  He might of thought of it as an easy case, but at the time he thought it was just a stabbing and not murder.  It wasn't until after he was talking to the dispatch cop and he said she is dead the Lawyer was like "oh fuck".

Most cable companies will give you HBO for a free trial period if you call and ask for deals.  I've been paying $5 a month for years.  They'll run a special for 6 months then after 6 months it goes up to $15 so I call them back and tell them to give me another special of I'll cancel it so they keep on extending the deal.

Looks great, and is well acted, but the premise on how he gets jammed up after the murder leaves a lot to be desired. Looks like a strong show going forward. John Turturro was a great choice to replace Gandolfini, and the British actor Ahmed is very good as well.

For those that wish to see the British version it's based off of here it is -

.

Other four episodes here -

I want to watch this but also don't want it to ruin the story for me.  I'll watch the entire HBO show first then watch this.

Watched the first episode, well acted but nothing we haven't seen a thousand times before. Will probably turn out he did actually do it or the guys he crossed earlier

Sounds like two many Brews in this show.

At least it is true to life with the two main suspects being Hebrews.

This is what True Detective Season 2 should have been.


Suspects

Funeral Car driver  black guy (told the girl if she wanted to be his next customer)

both black guys walking down the street (younger black kid said he was alone and also seemed to know her more personally then he let on to the detective) (darker black guy gave them both and ugly staredown)  She clearly was a drug junkie, maybe they were her dealers?

The motorcycle guy that looked to be staring at him throught the black helmet

the old fat white neighbor (he was quick to look out when the glass broke)

 
They had to enter from the back door when she let the cat out

Episode 2 in a couple minutes


I also notice HBOGO has it listed as season 1

So this is a new series?

Maybe they signed on for another season ?  Happens often if the series takes off.  Writers gotta get busy, but then things end up taking weird turns and they end up dragging things out  >:(  I ended up caving and watching epi 1.   :-[ :-[ :-[ damnit  gonna get hooked  :(

Feeling kinda sorry for the dude right now.
