justinvanvlietphotography Feel like watching this is a waste of my time. So many good series out there and this is simply filled with cliches, For a supposedly smart guy the main guy does some pretty stupid things. The background of the characters feel shallow. The quirky lawyer with weird attributes and a skin condition. It feels like they've taken the guide book how to write a tv series and followed it with random choices.Save your time and watch something good like Better call Saul.

adamantema Not very good. Turturro's character is interesting but annoying. The American-Pakistani actor's acting is pretty terrible, his character's behavior not believable. you can totally see he is acting. He actually seem lobotomized throughout the series.

Ed-Shullivan This nine (9) part mini series caught Mrs. Shullivan's and my own attention from the get go. We binged watched the series over two consecutive evenings. Dinner, then we binged on the first five episodes and couldn't wait for the next evening to find out if the young man named Nasir 'Naz' Khan (Riz Ahmed) was guilty of the brutal murder of a young woman who was discovered in her bed mutilated. The detective working the case was veteran Detective Dennis Box (Bill Camp) who just retired after making this last arrest of Naz and passing a substantial amount of evidence over to the state crown attorney. The murder suspect Naz whose father was a three way part owner of a licensed cab, Naz had taken his father's cab without permission so that he could get to a party that night, but instead inadvertently and quite innocently met the young women he would have sex with later that night before she was discovered the following morning murdered and badly mutilated in her own bed. Within the first episode we get to meet the ambulance chaser lawyer John Stone played to perfection by John Turturro. It would not be fair to compare John Turturro's performance to the likes of let's say Peter Falk as the sloppily dressed detective Columbo, but let's just say that John Turturro has a really bad skin condition that turns most of his clients off. While Naz sits in Rikers prison awaiting for his trial date to come up, he realizes rather reluctantly that he will not be able to survive in Rikers prison without some protection. An alpha figure in Rikers is a professional boxer named Freddy Knight (played by Michael Kenneth Williams) who likes Naz because Naz is one of a kind according to Freddy.There are a number of other great performances far too many to mention them all in this review. Oh, I digress. The following night Mrs. Shullivan and I had dinner and proceeded to watch the final four episodes. I must say that episodes 6, 7, and 8, were not as strong as the first five episodes, but the final episode reinforced our earlier opinion that the mini series was excellent. The series ended on a high note that I prefer not to write any spoiler. The Night Of cinematography took me back to the earlier 1970's era with films like (1971) The French Connection and (1973) Serpico. Yes the Night Of is in great company and well worth watching.I give the series an 8 out of 10 rating.
