Watching episode 7 - I think I know where it's going. I wish we had a spoilers thread so we could discuss it Grin

You could start one and ask MNHQ to put "no spoilers" in the title of this one, they did that for us during the Good Wife.

Lorelei76 · 10/09/2016 21:21

Just though, did anyone watch the uk one before this one?

Lorelei76 · 10/09/2016 21:22

*thought not though, sorry!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 11/09/2016 19:46

I didn't know there was a UK one?! Who was in that?

Just finished , binged on the whole series, best thing I've seen since Breaking Bad!

NickiFury · 11/09/2016 19:51

I finished it last night. Was all brilliant, not one thing I could criticise about it.

peachypips · 11/09/2016 19:52

Absolutely brilliant. Best thing I've watched in ages!

Lorelei76 · 11/09/2016 20:37

It's based on Peter Moffatt's Criminal Justice. He also wrote Silk and Undercover, both of which I really enjoyed, plus a bunch of other stuff I've not seen yet. He worked on the Night of on the production side, along with Jane Tranter, I bet that's a name some here will recognise.

I noticed James Gandolfini in the titles too, apparently he played Jack in an unaired pilot?

I think John T is terrific, only ever saw him in Pelham 123 before.

I got up to ep 7 last night. I'm afraid the prison business is not doing a lot
for me but now I too think I can see how it will turn out. Will probably watch last one tomorrow.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 11/09/2016 20:39

I thought Gandolfini was a producer?

Can I talk about the plot on this thread or not? There's something I want to talk about...

NickiFury · 11/09/2016 20:40

I must say I like the friendship between Naz and Freddy but then I love the actor who plays Freddy and I love Riz so those scenes are really enjoyable for me.

NickiFury · 11/09/2016 20:40

Oh me too Dame Grin

Lorelei76 · 11/09/2016 20:51

I just looked this up and it looks like James G did a lot of work on it before he died, not just the acting.

I don't mind plot points being discussed but I don't know how far others are up to....

NickiFury · 11/09/2016 20:59

How about if we do the "look away now" thing?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 11/09/2016 21:15

I just looked this up and it looks like James G did a lot of work on it before he died, not just the acting. Who was he in it?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 11/09/2016 21:16

LOOK AWAY NOW NIKKI AND I ARE GOING TO DISSECT THE PLOT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 11/09/2016 21:17

LOOK AWAY

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 11/09/2016 21:17

you've been warned

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 11/09/2016 21:18

SPOILER ALERT

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 11/09/2016 21:18

Right Nicky, you first....Grin

NickiFury · 11/09/2016 21:24

Do you think he took the inhaler on purpose because he knew Naz wasn't guilty? And knew it would disrupt the trial?

NickiFury · 11/09/2016 21:26

If he did, HT basically sacrificed his career rather than send an innocent man to jail.

GhostInTheBackOfYourHead · 11/09/2016 21:30

I finished this a few days ago and I can't stop thinking about it still. We definitely need a thread where we can discuss this...are we doing it here! Lorelei had a good idea.

I need other series like this. I'm trying to heal from a bereavement and telly like this is one of the few distractions that works. I'm watching Code100 atm but it's not a patch on The Night Of.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 11/09/2016 21:30

Oooo good point! As he was retiring anyway he didn't have a career to lose.

GhostInTheBackOfYourHead · 11/09/2016 21:31

Sorry, ! Should be ?
