The Night Of **spoiler warning - title edited by MNHQ**

[wheresmybloodygreencard]

Has anyone been watching it? Finale was last night. Fantastic I thought.

Ooohhhhhh I see! Thanks I get it now. And in real life is it true that the prosecuted could just say nah! Let's just leave it????

Yes, absolutely true then can decide not to continue.

LAST EPISODE - Can someone help me understand the emotion Naz might have been facing when he saw his friend in the cafe?
This when he was sitting with Stone in the last episode (I think near the last 10 mins of the episode itself) thanking him for his help.
Naz and his friend have a bit of a stare down and Stone says he "learned something in there" - what does this mean?
I was equally as confused as Naz when people kept telling him to "look but don't look!", but did Naz look at his friend thinking none of this would've happened if he had joined him that night?
Am I right?

Look but don't look means look but not aggressively like you are intimidating the other person.

He learned his friend was not really his friend as he testified then ignored him in the café.

One episode watched. Dare not read this thread. Already feel traumatised, have a feeling it's not going to get better.

Just finished watching it. I didn't think he'd done it, because as pp's have said, he would have had blood all over him, wouldn't he?

I'm not sure how I feel about Naz, tbh. He adapted to prison life quite quickly and don't know what he was thinking with the tatt's either. Surely he'd seen enough prison dramas to know that, however much it's denied, your appearance will influence the jury. He just kind of came across a bit emotionless and blank. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but I just didn't care about him. I can't say I was praying for him to get him off anyway. Felt more sorry for his poor parents.

Can't understand the motivation behind the lawyer woman smuggling in drugs for him either. That was just bloody stupid.

I watched the first episode last night so haven't read the thread because of spoilers. I enjoyed it but was also really annoyed by lots of things, which are:

• The whole debacle with the police arresting him and then going off to the crime scene with him still in the car and then not piecing it all together until way later at the station.
• How did they find the black guy witness who saw him earlier on when he arrived with the girl (and called him a terrorist)? Did he just happen to be walking past again later on? Must have missed that bit.
• Why were his parents so worried that he hadn't come home and calling hospitals? He's a grown man and had already told them he was going to a party!
• If he did it how come he wasn't covered in blood?
• Why did the lawyer decide to take his case after just one meaningful look and without even knowing what he is charged with?

Is it meant to be modern day NY? I thought everything apart from iPhones looked a little dated, almost like set in the nineties or something.

Why were his parents so worried that he hadn't come home and calling hospitals? He's a grown man and had already told them he was going to a party

I might be wrong, but was it partly because he'd taken the taxi?

I think I've missed something but can anyone explain to me what happened between the guy who had his throat slashed in the prison gang and the one who looked like he'd slit his wrists in the toilets?

They didn't know that he'd taken the taxi until the end of the episode when the Dad went out and realised it wasn't there.

Oh, ok

Maybe it was reinforcing the idea that he was a good Muslim son who never worried his parents for a minute (usually) and never normally stayed out all night.

May I please ask why you keep calling the lawyer with the feet, "Jack"? Ive just finished the last episode and it was John Stone. I've watched it on Netflix in Australia and am wondering if they changed the name for some reason?

hipho the one who slit his wrists (Petey) had been repeatedly (or at least twice) sodomised by the one whom Freddy killed. Freddy killed him because the petey's suicide interrupted his drug supply chain, as his mum would no longer come to visit.

According to IMBD both Jack and John were used. I don't know why. Iirc the names Jack and John are interchangeable in the UK, I think Jack can be a nick name for John but I don't know why they did it in this.

Ah thanks nightczar I thought it was something like that.

With the Jack/John thing - I get that the names are related but he's never called Jack in the show is he? All the adverts have John on them and people call him John.

Not being pedantic just genuinely curious.

Only 3 episodes in but I'm wondering about the blood too. Surely he'd have been drenched? What i find both compelling and massively depressing about it so far is that the message is 'trust no one'. So far everyone who's offered him advice or help, from police to lawyers to fellow prisoners, has then completely screwed him. I'm a naturally trusting person and am realising how this would probably mean I'd be dead by this stage!

Rollergirl the witness Trevor? He came back down that road and was asking questions about it to the cop guarding the crime scene. He mentioned Nas and Det Box overheard and brought him in.

Just finished bingeing on it. Hated how slowly the first couple of episodes were, but saw potential and so glad I stuck it out.

Very poignant. He'll end up back in Rikers. What has he got now? He can't even walk head up high as an innocent man yet until they convict Ray

Just got around to watching this after having had it sky+'d. Feel daft for waiting so long! 😊
