HBO's The Night Of

[squatchnt]

I didn't skip them, I missed them as in forgot about the show. Character development was so drastic I was lost. Plus I usually catch on really quick so while I didn't expect to figure it all out I thought I would have some idea what was happening

Its 2016 and dudes dont got a dvr or a firestick.

I let my chick do all the dvr'ing and firesticking I'm more of the on demand type

 

[harlemtothebronx]

There definitely are some DRASTIC character changes.

I don't care how it is in real life. I do know what I'm talking about cuz on tv in movies they do it all the time. She went to see a witness not a suspect.

If you believe someone to potentially be a suspect (which Chandra did) you don't just approach them.

No. She did not. Re-watch the ep.

There is no scene AT ALL where she is shown being suspicious of the driver. She only becomes suspicious after meeting him. She went to speak to him in the first place cuz even the police didn't question him.

You can not establish that Chandra thought the guy was a suspect for the murder and then went to speak with him after. She only felt he was a suspect after meeting him and all actual evidence does not point to him being a suspect so it's completely unfounded.

As for sexual tension, Chandra stating "you're alone" and Stone volleying back with "so are you now" was awkward as was the hand touch.

Then maybe you can't read a scene. What the **** do those lines have to do with sexual tension. Chandra is hitting him with the line trying to say I'm not like you, he claps back immediately but you are starting to cuz you are alone.

If there was suppose to be sexual tension there then the writers tried their hardest not to make that clear.

I've already rewatched the scene. She notices in the video as she's watching it that the mortician is waiting and then he follows after Nas exits the gas station. It was implied in the way they shot the scene. She didn't put that together at the morgue as she was questioning him. She brought it up because she already thought it. She tipped her hand when she asked him where'd he go after. She confirms that was her suspicion when she talks to Stone after and says that the mortician followed Nas and the girl and waited for them to leave.

As for the sexual tension, she barely knows Stone yet she decided to confide in him about her breakup. Mind you, we didn't even know a boyfriend existed at this point. What was the point of that if not to create sexual tension? Stone didn't just shoot his shot out of nowhere. She opened the door, he just walked through it.

The show is failing on quality build up. If your gonna do trash like episode six explore other characters more, it's definitely lacking in comparison to what we're comparing it too at this point.

 

[kilroythedon]

Don't we think that Stone had a better chance of banging her if he had just let her keep drinking? I don't see the sexual tension.

Stone cutting her off at the bar was interesting, I don't understand it but it was interesting..

Stone wants to feel like a woman is into him. That's evident from his interactions with the prostitute. Your man was spooning a prosty for Christ's sake lol. I don't think he wanted to get Chandra drunk and have the box fall in his lap. He sure was thirst to invite himself over to her crib though.I was surprised it wasn't him when Naz's dad came to the door.

 

[FreshLeeLA]

This show is trash now (actually has been since episode 2 but this week solidifies it)

Show is all over the place and I just love how they leave out Stone chasing down that guy and now its like it never happened. Naz is just dumb & annoying.

Mad that I even invested into this show to begin with

Was surprised by that as well, I definitely thought it was gonna be him at the door, or it was gonna be the creepy dude from The funeral home. I dunno I get what your saying but something feels off about Stone this past episode..

Nah. I'm not buying this the same way I don't know what you're talking about with sexual tension between Stone and Chandra.

Feel like you're reading in to stuff not there then leaping to being mad about it.

 

[kilroythedon]

I really feel like this is a show that could have been watched after it was done, this was definitely not worth the watching it week after week, especially after the last episode.

Like I said before its flopping heavy.

I don't know about the tension, but the camera cut in on both of their hands being VERY close together after having a few drinks at the bar. She was vulnerable, but Stone was the good guy and had her cut off.

 

[ravagebx]

Bro the show camera zoomed in on the video of the mortician sitting on the hood of his car and waiting. Then her face. Then back to him sitting on the car waiting. They even had the dramatic detective music playing while she watched. You could literally see the wheels turning in her head. You think that scene was just about her getting the license plate number? Nah lol. It's not a leap when two scenes later she confirms it.

The camera purposely focuses on Stone's hand as comfort given the topic about her bf (and what I took as him making a pass at her) Then as they continue to talk they show him lift his hand away. The conversation turns in to how they're alone (not in a good way or even we should hook up way) and **** is done as she's hit with a dose of reality.

Chandra doesn't react at all to it.

I don't consider that sexual tension.

Yeah man, we gonna have to agree to disagree.

Ya reading too much in to that scene imo.

The only time dude even seemed like he was a suspect was after she met him and he opened his mouth and was on all that creepy mysognistic religious ****. Not before.

[ihust1e]

Im honestly surpried yall turned heel on hte show so quickly lol

I think the pacing is a bit off but trash?? I dunno about that

 

[bleed05]

Man, I have no idea who killed ol girl now lol. Could be anybody haha

 

[akajae]

watch Stone smash next episode

 

[squatchnt]

I thought it was the mortician dude from the first episode because of the exchange he had with the chick at the gas station but felt that was the easy choice and the show wanted to take a curve.

 

[davinci]

I'm still enjoying the show
Some of y'all too critical

 

[wavy daddy]

First of all, that shandra chick is ugly. Yall think she bad based off the fact that theres a huge lack of females in the show. You got the D.A that looks like a 2 pack a day smoker, and the mute mom.

Second, this last show was kinda weak. Doesnt mean this show is startin to get wack.



Sidenote- why does the dude who was toppin off that on the low dude always have a black eye?

NA son, she is legit beautiful.

That skin and those lips...that gap, her legs, her walk.

Her job title alone makes her bad.

Home girl is bad

She's fine. Stop buggin'

I saw this coming. Dudes should've came out with it after ep 2 but wanted to be patient.

Ep 1 gave them this interpretation they had another great thrilling shows on the rise. They ditched that tone completely since then and I get why they had to but ppl feel duped.

The show is good for what it is. Never came off as must see tv.

 

[kilroythedon]

Son said "she ugly" smh

Her body nice on the lowwwwww
