The Night Of is an eight-part HBO series that will debut on Sunday, 7.10. It’s about a wrongfully accused guy (Riz Ahmed) caught in a murder investigation. John Turturro plays Ahmed’s lawyer. It’s been directed by Steve Zaillian, who co-wrote the script with Richard Price. The cinematography and editing are obviously high calibre. The 2013 pilot starred James Gandolfini in Turturro’s role. Everything collapsed after Gandolfini died in June 2013, but here it finally is.
