The Night Of “The Call of the Wild”
It’s impressive when a show can close its story with misery while still providing its audience closure. My favorite example is The Wire, whose final episode tied up loose ends without pretending life on the streets of Baltimore was anything other than the battleground it was. It’s not fair to…
The Night Of Series Finale Preview: “The Call of the Wild”
We have a lot of questions left to be answered in the finale episode of The Night Of “The Call of the Wild.†But only one is at the forefront of the trial: Who killed Andrea Cornish?
The Night Of “Ordinary Death”
If he wasn’t guilty before, he is now. The final scene in “Ordinary Death†felt like the end of Naz as we knew him. There are lots of pieces of information about Naz’s past that are supposed to paint him as an unsavory character. But some high school fights and…
The Night Of Preview: “Ordinary Death”
The penultimate episode of The Night Of is here and “Ordinary Death†is getting into the nitty-gritty details of Naz’s trial. We saw Chandra and prosecutor Weiss give their opening statements last week, and saw the arresting police go on the stand.
The Night Of “Samson and Delilah”
The sixth part of our eight-part miniseries, “Samson and Delilah†was full of highs and lows. A lot of things are actually going well. John and Chandra are uncovering new suspects and motives. His eczema is disappearing. She’s getting to give opening statements on a major case. This is great…
The Night Of Preview: “Samson and Delilah”
The Night Of loves head-scratching episode titles, and this week’s episode “Samson and Delilah,†is no exception. It’s a biblical reference to a man whose hair gives him super strength. Samson is also especially vulnerable to duplicitous women. The story of Samson and Delilah certainly has a whole lot of…
The Night Of “The Season of the Witch”
Episode five of The Night Of, “The Season of the Witch†featured the most dense plot development we’ve seen in the show thus far. I’ve come to terms with The Night Of as a slow, methodical experience, but I can’t deny that I crave movement and momentum. Consequently, “The Season…
Summer 2016 TCAs: What’s the Deal with John’s Eczema on HBO’s The Night Of?
Anyone that’s been watching HBO’s The Night Of has noticed that lawyer John Stone has a very specific quirk, an affliction even, that follows him in many of his scenes. The itchy, unsightly, and incredibly mundane condition called eczema. I call it mundane for a reason.
The Night Of Preview: “The Season of the Witch”
Episode five of The Night Of, “The Season of the Witch†is one we’ve been waiting for. Way back in the first episode, there were a number of conspicuous shots of Naz through a camera as he traveled across town, first alone, then with Andrea in the backseat. One was…
The Night Of “The Art of War”
I don’t know what it says about me, but a tiny piece of me has been concerned that Naz has been lying to us. To imagine that Naz, who is just so affable, naive, and upstanding, could have been an unreliable narrator has been my biggest fear. It’s felt too…

Two Takes: The Catch “The Knock-Off”
Who can you trust? If this episode of The Catch was any indication, the answer is just about nobody.

What They Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Black Sails “XXIII”
The dialogue in “XXIII” is phenomenal. It’s always a fun ride when Black Sails carries its viewers along without giving them the chance to catch their breath. When an episode moves at this unforgiving pace, there is no chance for a breather nor is there a respite from the information…
What Lucifer Said: Favorite quotes from Supernatural “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”
