But for the two biggest influences onThe Night Of, you have to jump back about a decade.
(At the beginning of its long production, in fact,The Night Ofwas also namedCriminal Justice.)
They also insisted Turturro and Ahmed watch it.
Were it not for an unexpected tragedy in 2013, that lineup would have looked a bit different.
The Night Ofwas described as a passion project of James Gandolfini.
Turturros drab overcoat and crumpled appearance are perhaps an affectionate tribute to that immortal character.
But here, we dont see the murder or the murderer.
A few notes on what to pay attention to in the episode:
Stone: Guess no.
1: Pakistani by blood?
Naz: Yeah, my mom.
Stone: What is she: Punjabi, Pashtun, Baloch?
You been to Pakistan?
Like a lot of things about Naz, theyll be changing.
