The Night Of is probably the most overrated series of 2016. Good but I wouldn't watch it again.
In its defence, when watching HBO dramas I tend to compare them to all the other ones I've watched. Most of those have multiple seasons where characters and stories are fleshed out a lot more, some of them are also my favourite TV shows of all time so that's a bit unfair. It's not a harsh criticism to say I liked shows like The Wire, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones etc better.
To me it felt like it was missing something. It didn't grab me like other shows. Maybe just because it was one case, an extended version of a Law & Order episode (with much higher quality obviously) and that one case didn't particularly appeal to me.

Anyway I did enjoy it enough.

I am a great believer that you need to read widely to appreciate the finest in television. If you have not, I recommend it, although it will make you cringe at the vast array of mediocrity on the small screen.
No, I found it gripping and purposeful.Were you disappointed in the final 2 episodes?
I thought the court room stuff was poor and badly written. The things that weren't investigated by the police like CCTV footage before the girl gets into the car. WTF. Get out of town.
My fav show this season has been Fargo season 2. Better call Saul season 2 was a close second.
Excellent news!!!Yeah Fargo Season 2 was ace. Going in to it I was just hoping it would get somewhere near the heights of the first season of Fargo but I think it surpassed Season 1 tbh. Fantastic television. Season 3 begins shooting in November I believe and should air around March/April 2017 I believe... hope so anyway...
It's a travesty that it was cut short.I am up to episode 9 of season 2 of Deadwood. Just cannot get over how good this show is. Up there with The Wire, GoT and Breaking bad.

Your hope is in vain.Yeah. I am hoping the writers at least wrapped it up the way they wanted to rather than just cut it mid story line.
Your hope is in vain.
