Yes he was guilty as shit. We the audience for the most part know Naz is innocent so we view his bug eyed tension as the stress of an innocent man trapped in the criminal justice system. But within the realm of the story? No one has that knowledge of him so he very well does recall a character like Raskolnikov, quiet,…

I think clearly Andrea had someone after her that night, and it was quite clear from the beginning when she showed up.

laugh out loud moment of the show- turturro " at least do Denzel!" … someone on this show has something against Jamie Foxx

Also since this show is based on a British series I can safely assume that my Russian literature associations are not misplaced, since the British fucking love 19th century Russian lit to the point I think where they need to calm down.

That's very true. I think I only said Raskolnikov because Riz Ahmed's bug eyed anxiety in this show really coincides with the image in my head I had of Raskolnikov running around St.Petersburg that entire book.

Maybe because I've seen Criminal justice (and continue to marvel at just how close to the original version they're making this series) that the eczema thing doesn't seem like a fault of this show to me, as more a fault of the original show. They're just sticking close to the material. That fact also slightly worries…

I do have a degree in Russian Literature my friend, I wasn't speaking in specifics but in general themes and yes in personal associations… I'm not saying he's like Raskolnikov because he's high on utilitarian philosophy and decided to murder two women in cold blood for the thought experiment, or that he's like Gregor…

Do real people not have eczema? Not that his eczema is my favorite plot point but it's not so far fetched. Also everyone is comparing this show to a lot of things and the closest thing I can think to compare it to is Dostoevsky, Gogol and Kafka. Not that I think it's a great timeless classic, but there's a lot of…

Checked on some pictures of Mildred Loving btw and she's very pretty, doesn't look at all like a glamorous Hollywood actor caked in weird old age make up giving uncanny valley "cloud atlas" vibes… funny that… I say they could of left Ruth Negga be.

Man that Hollywood, always striving for realism.

What the hell did they do to Ruth Negga? She's beautiful, but she looks very strange in this trailer.

The original Ghostbusters wasn't that good. Now calm down man children.

honestly… one of the best premiere's of anything I've ever seen

Spoilers???…. I've seen Criminal Justice, and this episode followed the plot of the UK version almost exactly in structure (down to details like him stabbing the girl through the hand)… if it keeps going that way then this show will be less murder mystery, more look at the criminal justice system and what it's like…

Unless this is trolling, you couldn't be more wrong about that. Riz Ahmed was one of the best things about the episode. And I didn't even care about him before I watched this show.

I saw the original BBC Criminal Justice written by Peter Moffat (starring Ben Whishaw) a long time ago and this adaptation is much better executed but the plot is almost identical down to the details like the lawyer's eczema , so can the novelistic flourishes you attribute to Price really be his when his adaptation is…

not to be an asshole but that review sounded like a parody of a patrick bateman monologue right before he axes somebody in the face

Anyone know what the song was at the end?

Fuck you? I do.

I'm happy about this, Daniel Craig is a great character actor, and he's never more boring when he's playing James Bond because honestly it leaves him no range to do anything, it's all just mind numbing action. I love him in smaller movies like infamous, layer cake, and defiance.
