Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
"Ordinary Death" could almost claim the honor of being the strongest all-around chapter of The Night Of to date. There was plenty of drama to go around this week, both inside and outside the courtroom, all of which served to make Naz's future look more bleak and hopeless than ever. Sadly, one bizarre plot twist managed to dampen the excitement leading into next week's finale.
As the show dug deeper into Naz's high-stakes trial this week, one of the qualities that stood out was the matter-of-fact way the trial is being handled. I've compared The Night Of to Law & Order in the past, but this is one area where the comparison doesn't really hold. Writers Richard price and Steven Zaillian aren't attempting to dramatize the trial. There's no big "Aha!" moment where the defense suddenly pulls the rug out from under the prosecution and everything we thought we knew about Nasir Khan is changed. That's despite the fact that this episode could easily have gone in that direction when Detective Box was reluctantly dragged into the spotlight. In a different, more sensational show, it's easy to picture the inhaler questioning blowing a hole in the case and possibly even leading to a mistrial. But The Night Of largely grounds itself in reality, and barring any huge, last-minute developments regarding potential suspects like Duane Reade or Don Taylor, there's not going to be an easy out for Naz.
