The original version of this was written by Peter Moffet for UK TV; he also writes Sherlock and Dr. Who. His scripts are filled with ambivalence about the justice system and right/wrong; The Night Of seems very similar to his past work. Equally, while US shows desire a tidy ending, very few UK shows have any…

I don't get the excitement at what is just a remake of the 1977 original, but with a far simpler script and poor acting. What a huge disappointment.
