Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
If you're jonesing for a new Sunday night TV fix now that Game of Thrones is on hiatus, you could do far worse than The Night Of. This new crime series started strong and becomes even better in its sophomore episode. While in some ways the show still plays like the most methodical, expensive version of Law & Order ever filmed, there's always an appeal in seeing a complex whodunit done well.
Granted, the Law & Order comparison isn't always justified. That franchise is all about ripping stories from the headlines, boiling them down to hour-long conflicts and telling stories about the heroic men and women of the criminal justice system fighting the good fight. The Night Of is far more pragmatic in its depiction of that system. One of the characters refers to it as "a club" in this episode, and that seems an apt description. Every character in the show has a role to play and a function to carry out as The Night Of examines the facets of that crumbling system and the many lives it impacts in the journey from crime to conviction. There aren't really any heroes or villains in this story. Not yet, at least.
