The Night Of - Part 1 Review

Standard
Eh, the night of???

YESH THE NIGHT OF.



hahaha hopefully I didn't scare you off already, but I guess I decided to not stick to any schedule that I planned beforehand... to just rave about this show.

First, I saw a post Jason Silva (who btw is probably the philosopher of the century so you should check him out (or maybe you know him from Brain Games)) shared, about this "mind blowing show". So, I decided to watch it, gosh and it is FREE on HBO and YouTube till 21 July, so go catch it now!

**no spoiler alert because I pretty much didn't even touch on the storyline o.o what kind of review is this /:

Yep, The Night Of is a crime drama but from a pretty novel angle in my opinion. This eight part mini series is doing a really good job in the first part/episode already to really screw with your mind and set your gears turning.

Who is the good guy? Who is helping who? Who killed her???!!!

And HOW?!? Just tons of questions that are surprisingly quite satisfying to ask while watching. Also, how the different characters have their reactions and emotions play through the hour+ were brilliant.

I just haven't watched a more refreshing show for awhile now so I gladly welcome The Night Of.
Not to throw shade on some of the other shows that I really quite like(d), but some times, just some times, >< after the series air for quite some time, they get pretty frustrating to watch... I'm not really sure why, but I guess the plot could have had too much of a stretch for another season... (But Orphan Black is still damn good.)

You know what, haha I'm probably going to re-watch the ep one more time for free. Also, do let me know if you feel the same, or did the hype dampened the sparks for this show? ):

Find me on Twitter in the meantime @raycherr :D
