Netflix’s ‘Adolescence’ hit different and it’s tough to get over it. And if you are wondering what to watch next then we have the perfect recommendation for you today.
We are talking about ‘The Night Of’, a crime drama Emmy Award winning miniseries on Jio Hotstar. Based on the first series of the 2008 British series Criminal Justice, ‘The Night Of’ is written by Richard Price and Steven Zillian who also served as director alongside James Marsh.
‘The Night Of’ follows the story of Nasir Khan who gives lift to a mysterious woman and takes her to a party hosted by his friend. However, he is charged with murder when she is found dead and must prove his innocence.
The show is about how one mistake spirals into a nightmare. One wild night out and Nasir’s whole world is torn apart piece by piece. ‘The Night Of’ is a slow, dark and suffocating descent into the justice system and it feels freakishly raw and real in every frame.
‘The Night Of’ might make you uncomfortable at many moments but at the same time it grips you to your seat. Even when it’s over you will keep thinking about it for long.
Critics have touted ‘The Night Of’ to be a richly crafted, exquisitely performed mystery that keeps viewers enthralled and leaves them devastated. Riz Ahmed’s performance was widely acclaimed leading him to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series. With just eight episodes, ‘The Night Of’ is a perfect pick for a weekend binge!
