If you look back at some of the best new television of 2016, it’s pretty easy to include HBO’s “The Night Of” on the list of one of the year’s best programs. It was smart, thought-provoking, and also sharp commentary on the nature of the prison system and the treatment of minorities by both this, […]
Wasn’t 2016 a tremendous year for new programming? Think about the shows we’ve got below in our Best New Show category for the CarterMatt Awards, and then think for a minute about the shows that we just couldn’t fit in. These are shows like “The Crown,” “Luke Cage,” “Billions,” and even some fun entries like “Speechless.” To […]
We have to say with 100% conviction that the potential nominees for the Actor in a Limited Series / TV Movie category at the Golden Globes this year could be better than almost any other category out there. The field here is outstanding; not only that, but there’s a reasonably good chance that several shows […]

Would it be rather wonderful to get a new episode of “The Night Of” tonight? Absolutely, since we certainly know that many out there would love some further answers to the story, including the reveal of who the actual killer of Andrea Cornish really was. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen. Last week was […]
On Sunday night “The Night Of” came to a close on HBO, and it did so with an ending that was in some ways ambiguous in how it tied together the case of Andrea Cornish. While Nasir Khan was released from prison after a deadlocked jury and Helen Weiss declining to pursue a new trial, […]
When we first say that the finale for HBO’s “The Night Of” was running a shocking 90-minutes plus, we did wonder if that was far too long given for any episode of TV — especially one without commercials. Yet, we have to say that this was the fastest-moving 90-plus-minutes we’ve seen in some time, and […]
Tonight, one of the best shows of the entire summer in “The Night Of” will be coming to a close over at HBO, and the series to date has left us with many questions, whether it be who killed Andrea Cornish and why our justice system has to be this way, where a man awaiting […]
