Anyone watch episode 1 of The Night Of on HBO yet?
I finally watched last night (it's been available "early" on HBO for a week or so) and holy shit was it good. Written by Richard Price (Clockers, Sea of Love, The Wire, tons and tons of great books) and co-starring John Turturro who is phenomenal in his brief first episode appearance. Evidently James Gandolfini was originally set to take his role, but I can't imagine he'd have been better. Different, sure, but not better.
It's only going to be 8 episodes and 1 season IIRC. Must watch imo.
"Holy shit it was good" is an understatement.
Shame Gandolfini didn't live to be in it as planned, but John Turturro is always amazing/an all time favourite and was spectacular in the very limited screen time in ep.1. He's going to kill this role if the writing stays at the level of ep.1.
Also liked the "Bodie" appearance.
