The Night Of 1.4 FAQ
What’s it called?
“The Art Of War.”
Who’s responsible?
James Marsh (“The Theory of Everything”) directs from a teleplay by storytelling genius Richard Price (“Mad Dog and Glory”).
What says HBO?
“Stone (John Turturro) works to uncover information about the crime.”
How does it start?
Naz stares at what’s left of his bed at Rikers while Stone wraps his feet in plastic.
Is it any good?
It’s really good.
What’s doing with Dennis Box?
He finds Stone at Andrea’s funeral.
Do we learn what Freddie wants from Naz?
Yes.
The big news?
Stone is still investigating Naz’ case even though Naz now has another attorney.
What else is HBO not telling us?
Apparently in the British version of this show, there was only a single shot of Stone’s eczema-riddled feet in the whole series. At “The Night Of” TCA event Saturday morning, John Turturro would not comment when asked if Stone’s eczema would somehow help him solve the series’ central mystery.
What’s good?
“Print maybe.” “We got a shitload of celebrities this year.” “Not grampas.” “Then you’re an idiot.” “Go away.” “At least they didn’t put you in an orange jumpsuit.” “There’s nothing going on here.” “He had John Stone.” Turturro as Stone. Jeannie Berlin as Helen (a long way from Jesse Eisenberg’s mother in Woody Allen’s new movie “Café Society”). Freddy. Box. The drama at the dead girl’s funeral. The dead girl’s pretty friends. Naz’ parents dealings with the school administrator. The jigsaw puzzle.
What’s not so good?
Stone doesn’t save Andrea’s cat.
How does it end, spoiler boy?
“I need your help.”
9 p.m. Sunday. HBO.
