Ballers, The Night Of, Vice Principals
We already know that “Power” season 3 set some ratings records over on Starz for its premiere on Sunday night, but how did HBO’s own lineup fare?

The Night Of, The Night Of season 1 review
The first episode of “The Night Of” was fantastic, and of course with that comes one thing and one thing only: Expectations. Could episode 2 live up to the hype of the pilot?

Through two episodes, “The Night Of” has certainly brought some compelling storytelling to the table; we’ve had the murder of Andrea, the early stages of the investigation, and also the early efforts of attorney John Stone to try and help Nasir.

It’s funny in a way how many procedural crime shows make you numb to the human side of it, but this show […]

This show has done a brilliant job through one episode of weaving together a narrative, especially when it comes to setting up the stakes for our main character Nasir a.k.a. Naz. At the moment, his situation […]
The Night Of, The Night Of season 1 review
HBO’s “The Night Of” had a long road to make it to television. Originally titled “Criminal Justice,” the series was meant to star James Gandolfini prior to his death. To date, he is still listed as executive producer. The show underwent a name change, a meticulous search to find the right people, and then also a […]
