its 2021, i just saw this and damn it was an amazing series, the music, the editing, the camera shots, the acting, it was perfect

[@sangellaferro]

Are people not aware anymore of what's outstanding, &/or superior full-on brilliance anymore? This "series" is mind blowing ... kudos to the entire cast, crew, and anyone who had anything to do with making it what it is: TOP SHELF ACROSS THE BOARD.

How has the whole world not seen this (The Night Of) yet? I saw Riz's interview on a chat show and was totally captivated by his charm and after watching one episode I was hooked; The story telling is AMAZING!!!

The Night Of is a magnificient piece of work!!!!!
I can't say enough about it-

[@piticfilms]

It's 2022 and I just binge watched this WONDERFUL miniseries. I often stay away from Series because I feel writers just stretch the story unnecessarily... The Night Of does not have ONE second that is not structurally justified, 9 hours beautifully written and perfectly executed.

The cat deserved an Emmy.

[@alobo2811]

Just finished watching this show tonight. Wonderful 🙌🏽

[@AhmedGhazwan]

That Chinese doctor bit was hilarious. He was great. XD

[@Chloeayoy]

Ahmed Ghazwan "get rid of your cat"

[@vzlaeli]

This series is AMAZING. So glad is receiving the attention it deserves

[@EscargoTouChaud]

Great series. Freddy was an interesting character. Complex. The parents were heartbreaking. The cat was cute, and I am glad it ended up with Stone. Poor Andrea. And poor Nas, whose lovely adventure not only ended in horror, but also meant such a change in his life.

well done riz ahmed and john great acting

[@kagewilliams4475]

A Perfect Series.

[@mizzseo]

I wish michael.k williams was in this interview!

[@AgentMcQueen]

Love it!

[@minze_mango3418]

Honestly, I can't listen to that woman. Every time she speaks I want to scream at her to get her act together and speed it up and please just figure out what she wants to say before she starts to speak! After the umpteenth UUUHM you just want her to shut up. And her voice holds the same tone whenever she speaks....AAAARGH! I don't know why but this gets me in such a fret!!!

[@maazkalim]

Uh-huh?!?
Whom???
The key EP Ms Jane Tranter?

Aww..
I'm not so well RN so the only thing I could/should add is..: That's so kind of you.(
Assuming it's not a greeting you use with every "rando".)
Thanks so much.
Given that you _might_ be suffering from STML, just as I do: Do add it to your to-do and lemme know, whenever you happen to recall. 😉

[@minze_mango3418]

@@maazkalim what’s STML?

[@maazkalim]

Quite an EARLY query...! 😉
Anyhoo..
It's actually: Short Term Memory Loss

[@maazkalim]

Mr John Torturro being as loud in laughing as he's mumbling in speaking notwithstanding..
...MAN!!!
The Google®'s auto-captions! Even if try hard, harder & hardest to ignore them..
...What's with the auto-captions mostly interesting( read referring) “Riz” as "the R", mostly it's ‘Rizz’ BUT HERE..
Ahh.. Well! Don't think it'll be a roadblock to any potential tie-up with Left Handed™, still.

[@bNunconnected]

Riz Ahmed sounds better with the American accent

[@EscargoTouChaud]

I disagree, but I tend to prefer British accents in general. In the US, a lot of people have started talking in an annoying manner, like Valley Girl light. When I watch interviews from the 70s and earlier, Americans speak in a prettier way.
