	Media	Author	Review
		Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"The net effect is hypnotic, like reading a fat crime novel filled with memorable characters and atmospheric details."
		Sonia Saraiya Variety	"It is difficult not be swept up in the world 'The Night Of' creates (...) [It] is compulsively watchable and extraordinarily rewarding, a brilliant and addictive mystery"
		Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"This is good, strong procedural television that respects the art form and commands our attention."
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"Zaillian's presentation is extremely detailed with precise language that feels relaxed and authentic."
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"A premiere that should be in Emmy consideration at this time next year, but subsequent episodes still hold an elevated, pulpy crime novel feel, dampened only slightly as contrivances begin to settle in."
		Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"These (...) investigations drive a narrative that meticulously tracks the procedures, language, and culture of the actors’ work. In doing so, 'The Night Of' produces endless richness and sobering meanings about the degrading cost of a flawed justice system."
		Sam Wollaston The Guardian	"[It] more than justifies its existence and makes it a thing in its own right. A very excellent thing. With a hypnotic performance from Riz Ahmed"
		Scott Tobias The New York Times	"'The Night Of' remained, from the beginning, a piercing glimpse into the best and worst aspects of the justice system."
		Ed Power Telegraph	"A glorious puzzle box of a drama which begins as a straightforward murder-mystery but is soon revealed to be something far smarter and more provocative (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
