Boring. From the first episode the whole story is unrealistic and sometimes even ridiculous. This is not how prison, court, police and lawyers work. Everything is so fake. Stupid guy doing stupid things, one after another, until the end and public servants jumping over their heads to save his pathetic life and bring justice. Didn't care what would happen to him at any moment. Why making movie about someone like that, not to mention whole series?

The only thing that worked well was ever present uncertainty, which lasted until the end but from the other side sometimes it led to even more bizarre scenes and some threads were left unfinished.

Worth watching. Though be warned that the first episode is easily the highlight of the entire show. I found the rest of the show to be a disappointment in comparison to the first episode (despite all of it being good). The first episode gave me high hopes, as it seemed like the show was doing something a little bit different. But I found that as the show continued, it ended up being just like other shows in this genre. That's not necessarily a bad thing, and it was still better than a lot of other similar shows, but I was disappointed in what I thought was wasted potential after the fantastic first episode.

There's also an argument to be made that the show dragged on too long and was a bit slow at times. I never found myself bored watching it, but I do agree there were probably parts that could have been trimmed down. This show is basically just a remake of a BBC show called 'Criminal Justice'. The BBC show is only 5 episodes long, whereas this show is 8 episodes. I think that tells you that this show could easily have been a couple of episodes shorter. All in all, 'The Night Of' is still a really good season of television, and I'd say it's worth watching.
