So guise what's your feelings towards the show after the first ep ?
I'd say it was pretty good especially when it comes to atmosphere and the depiction of the police, however the face of main hero kinda annoys me but i think he fits his role well .
No idea what this is.
>>71902175
New show on HBO
>>71902147
Really dig it. The protagonist seems fine to me since he has that meek look to him that fits his personality. I agree with the atmosphere completely. The entire time at the Police Station felt really uncomfortable to me with the dim lighting. Really made me feel nervous with the lead.
>>71902175
new hbo show
the pilot was emited few days ago
>>71902247
i also like that when he was undressed by the police-his body was nothing special, not even slightly built, he's just a little skinny. It's just a detail but it was somehow important to me
so who murdered the girl in the bed?
>>71902353
the bomb
bumpity
is this a thing in the US that you're not even allowed to roll the windows of your car back up and lock it when the police arrests you?
>>71902525
the hero shitted himself and simply forgot
bumper
>>71902247
>New show on HBO
Eww
>>71902525
depends on the kind of arrest and how the cop is feeling
>>71903028
>>71902147
The Night of WHAT????????????
Just saw the first EP and it was really good, the actors are great, really liked that black witness smelling weed. The atmosphere is so stressful, especially when that girl cop search him at the police station, I couldn't breathe.
Just one thing, why would that guy go downtown Manhattan without knowing where the address of the party is, or without GPS ?
>>71903503
I guess the taxi didn't have a GPS in it, and he knew the address, he just didn't knew how to navigate through the town properly.
I liked that first episode a lot, but I felt like the atmosphere took a dive when they introduced the lawyer. The rest was really tense though.
>>71903503
>>71903581
his friend was supposed to drive to that party so i guess naz didn't think much about the route to that place
>>71902525
I gotta say the way they left the cab was a little annoying, cops could tell him to close it up.
>>71903581
Lawyer is probably going to be an awesome character.
>>71904039
The lawyer ends up being the main character (or at least on part with Nasir) since he does the investigation.
Theres the actor playing Omar in the Wire later in the season
Watched the trailer, is this show a race baiting thing or is it deeper than that?
>>71904102
Wire fans should recognize Bodie from the pilot too.
>>71904194
Yup thats why I mentionned Omar
By the way the show is co-created by one of the Wire's screenwriters
>>71904192
No, not really. According to the showrunner they chose a paki as a protagonist cuz most of the taxi drivers in NYC are from south asia, Pakistan, etc.
It should have been Gandolfini who plays the lawyer, how great would that be?
Spoiler alert: he's found not guilty.
I guess Omar is playing a gangster again? Probably beeing a suspect sooner or later. Would be funny though watching him as a detective or something like that but probably not possible with his face.
>>71904463
He plays some kind of gang's chief in prison
>>71902147
i kinda liked it...kinda.
I feel its just a tv version of that podcast...serial..not 100% but kinda loosely based around it, ethnic minorities caught up in situations.
also, its a crime show, so its just a re-imagining of every other damn crime show, the story will be the same and characters identical aside for better lighting, production values.
unless, the dead girl comes back to life to reveal a secret society of ghosts that are based on a lovecraftian cult that is run by billionaire satanists, and the detective turns out to be a white supremacist preacher who is cheating on his wife with a black muslim man...I dont think this show is really gonna WOW me that much.
>>71903161
The murder? The suicide? That's the clue: The Night of What?
Stop being an autist for 10 fucking seconds and put this shit on you fatass basement dweller.
I hope this ends up becoming an anthology series if it's good.
The episode was brilliant and am looking forward to see where it continues.
There is a lingering feeling of having seen something like it before, but this shit had me biting my knuckles: The fucking realism! When he turns the light on and immediately off, but has to turn it on again. When he runs the fuck out but forgets everything including his keys and forces himself inside... When his father just runs straight from bed to the car in his nightgowns.
How the dude is just an innocent older brother who is the pride of his community.. The disappointment
Nah, it's a crime show but it's really impressive how it's so real in regards to actions and reactions. When I saw the detective, guy has a solid face for the role, solid cast. Even the policeman with the mustache and all the others too..
I can't wait to watch the rest.
desu the most obvious suspect is the nig number 2, but they'd never do something so racist
the killer will be whiter than pure white
>all this obvious shilling
Fuck off, cunt.
Good directing, cinematography for 2/3 of the episode.
Other than that, pretty basic show.
>>71906391
Yeah we should chat up fucking RedditMemeLetter and Marvel shit 24/7
Fuckin kill yourself retarded shitbrain
>>71904966
well you might have actually already seen story before as its a remake of a bbc show called "Criminal Justice"
I wouldn't recommend anyone look up the original, its great and all but I'm concerned having seen it that I know exactly where this version is going.
>>71906349
Nig #2 really did mean mug them when they crossed on the street.
>>71904590
Yeah, it's crazy how much the first episode echos Serial, from a strictly superficial standpoint anyway. I can't wait to see how the show progresses from here, from the spoilers I've seen it seems like things are going to get pretty fucked up. I don't agree with people saying it will subvert the whodunnit expectations are focus solely on the trauma that is battling the justice system. Everything about the way the episode was shot and the opening credits suggest there has to be some mystery to it and I hope that persists throughout the season.
I watched the first episode twice after reading fan theories and it's crazy how my perception changed after each viewing. Like at first I thought Andrea was suicidal when she got in Nas' cab, but the second time around it didn't feel that way at all. The hearse driver seemed like an obvious red herring on the second watch but then I noticed he didn't have the gas nozzle in his car which made me question his role in the future. I'm kind of afraid he won't be a player in the murder even though they way he was leaning up against his car was totally unnatural for someone refueling their vehicle.
Regarding the who dunnit aspect of the show I have to say there's no chance Bodie is the murderer as he was wearing the same clothes when he taunted Nas as he was when he walked back up on the crime scene. I think he'll just be a witness down the line like the limo driver should/could be.
>>71902147
SJW garbage
This show is triggering me
>interrogated without anyone reading him his Miranda rights
>doesn't call for his lawyer
>stripped naked in some file-cabinet
>can we take some DNA swabs, just say yes so we don't have to get a court order
>>71906910
desu that's how I expect most 4chan autists to act
>>71906910
The scary part is all that sort of shit is what cops actually do.
If you even vaguely attempt to delay their requests they will make sure any jury or judge down the line hears all about how "uncooperative" you have been. Even though obviously its in your right to do all those things.
/tv/ experts please tell me, would things go much better for The Nazz if he immediately went to the police and didn't tamper with the evidence and generally make a fool of himself?
>>71906910
>without anyone reading him his Miranda rights
he told the lawyer they did read his righys though
>>71907186
Honestly the whole case is flimsy as shit, splatter pattern alone alone is enough for him to walk.
No blood on his cloths or his body apart from the hand when the victim bleed all over the bed and even got blood on the lampshade.
Add to that the drugs and alcohol in his system and no prior arrests, and no jury is going to convict him.
So much shit going on, with the limo driver, bodie's friend, the biker, the neighbor, the unlocked back door - also love how they greenlit this and told pizzalotso to ride some bench
>>71907313
well they didn't really so much tell Pizzalotso to feck off because they have another show
This has been in production for years.
The reason James Gandolfini's name was on it as Executive Producer is because he was passionate about the project and apparently even got as far as filming the pilot with him (the role now taken by Jon Turturro)
They were all but ready to go on this but then obviously James died and they had to go back to drawing board for a while.
Would have been nice to see James have a role on HBO so vastly removed from Tony Soprano but Turturro is a fucking great actor and a worthy replacement.
>>71907455
......Have you seen any previews for season 3 of true detective?
Also, there's no way he doesn't get searched before he gets in the cop car
>>71907593
>>Also, there's no way he doesn't get searched before he gets in the cop car
LOL
O
L
>>71907593
I can accept that the cops, being tired and lazy, thinking of Naz as just another dumb college kid, being distracted by the breaking and entering call, just didn't bother.
Any episode where he see the girl's boobs? (like flashback or whatever)
I've seen the first episode and I couldn't see shit.
>reviews tell me thatsome of the series is about Nazz trying to survive in prison
>HBO's first drama is the prison show Oz
>Naz
>Oz
>Bodie was in Oz also
>>71907772
>The series turns to a fucking Return to Oz psychedelic trip shadow directed by Jarmush+Lynch.
hm
>>71907186
things generally go good for you when you don't
>steal nyc taxi cab
>travel alone (no alibi or help if things go awry)
>get seduced by the first pretty face you see
>consume drugs and alcohol
>stab her in the hand with a kitchen knife
>stick your fucking dick inside of her
at this point even if she lived who knows what the fuck her plan was for poor nas, in a way he's probably luckier to be in police custody than whatever the fuck was gonna happen to him if the girl was still alive.
do you really think she had wonderful plans for him?
>>71907649
Cops are required to search their squad cars for contraband/evidence both before or after their shift
Let's put it this way - you're a cop - you gonna sit in front of some Punjab without searching him?
>>71907923
>Cops are required to search their squad cars for contraband/evidence both before or after their shift
Yeah you can't be this naive. Just because it reads in a rule book doesn't mean it gets executed 100% of the time in work, especially by two fucks that have been working god knows what kind of double work shifts
It was so overly contrived and as soon as he meets the girl you know what is going to happen.
And he never asks for a lawyer? pls.
>>71907313
>limo driver
It was a hearse driver tho, hence the comment he said to the girl smoking about her being his passengersmoking kills
>>71907962
These are the cops that unknowingly get shot in the back of the head
He would have been searched, and cuffed. He was getting arrested, ffs.
"We're going to arrest you, but definitely not search you for more drugs ( he grabbed the cocaine) or a fucking weapon"
I think you're naive kiddo
>>71907917
Yeah he should have known something was up, but I actually could see myself getting seduced by a qt and even though I knew in the back of my head something was wrong I might go too far just because I want it so bad.
I'd have never taken the drugs or played with the knife though. Even if she was a 10/10 the drugs I'd be afraid I'd pass out and not get to fuck her and the knife I'm not retarded so wouldn't mess with russian games.
>>71907772
so instead of seeing the hotties tits we're going to see forced anal sex?
typical hbo.
>>71908155
Keep on believing the infallible graveyard-overworked police dream.
Knowing what happened, would you still fug Andrea?
>>71908161
It's a miracle his dick worked while being influenced by those drugs tbqh
Any episode where he see the girl's boobs? (like flashback or whatever)
I've seen the first episode and I couldn't see shit.
PLEASE ANSWER

WER
>>71908197
I'd fuck her in the cab then cut her head off
inshallah
>>71908052
It was dumb that they kept emphasizing certain moments like the camera footage at the gas station, the black guy witness, the neighbour, the break-in and all that and then they just arrest him with the murder weapon in his pocket.
What is the point of the witnesses if he has her blood on his hands and the murder weapon in his pocket.
>>71908201
when I used to take ecstasy I never even wanted to have sex we'd just feel each other and rub all over each other forever and then once we started to come down THEN we'd fuck.
>>71906910
3 of those are accounted for by the fact that Naz is just a kid who lost his cool and has absolutely no idea how to react to the situation he was thrust into. and his rights were read to him.
>>71908212
pathetic
>>71908238
>then they just arrest him with the murder weapon in his pocket.
Nigga it is like 1 hour after the police search they house they find Naz with a bloody fucking weapon matching the estimated description.
They haven't had the time yet for that other shit like HOLY SHIT these things TAKE FUCKING TIME do you get it?
>>71908212
>I've seen the first episode and I couldn't see shit.
You weren't supposed to, there was no nudity.
And l don't see why they'd do a flashback, tbqh. I'd like to see her tits too, but l've got a feeling this show will be more about the legal proceedings of the case than the actual murder itself.
>>71908238
I guess it makes it a slam dunk case. But yeah it was painful watching the toll camera footage and the gas station footage, and the witnesses, when you knew it was just leading up to what you knew was going to happen. Everything fell into place too much, as soon as he came back to the scene in the back of that cop car I'd decided this show was pretty retarded.
>>71908265
I mean, what's the point of writing the episode in a way where they introduce witnesses and all that but then none of it matters because they arrest him a block away with the murder weapon.
>>71908212
We might get lucky and get one of those shots where the body is in the morgue naked and they are inspecting her.
those scenes always give me huge boners. not into dead girls so don't know why, maybe it's because I know they are alive.
What drugs did he take? Was it some fiction drug or was it MDMA and coke?
>>71908275
>Police are retarded because after finding a murdered girl, and 1-2 hours after finding a man holding a murder weapon (fits the description) with victim's blood and man's obvious prints on it THEY HAVENT PULLED OUT EVERY CAMERA FOOTAGE FROM TOLLS AND SHOPS
????
>>71908303
IT FUCKING TAKES TIME HOLY SHIT
THE PROCESS IS JUST GETTING **STARTED**
What's the verdict on Box? Does he just want to close the case and get it over with, or does he care about what happens?
>>71908314
mdma and cocaine. good luck fucking on that combo, unless she had him snort a 1/4 pill of viagra with the cocaine.
>>71908333
you missed the point. it's that it was all so contrived. of course they'll be investigating further and wouldn't have that footage right away. and of course that's the story. that's the whole reason the show sucks, you know what is going to take place. the whole first episode you can basically just say what is going to happen from 20 minutes in
>>71908186
https://youtu.be/gsCWK4XYHV8
They patted this guy down, so I'm willing to bend a little on 100℅ of the time, but still.
This guy wasn't being arrested, just being given a ride, hence no cuffs, and they STILL did at least a cursory Pat down
Nice to see Riz Ahmed getting roles, I liked him in Four Lions
>>71908362
nah, he'll be the "cop that doesn't give up and seeks justice." he'll get a wiff of something fishy and end up being the hero detective. him and the laywer will fight for a while then they'll both get suspicious together.
meanwhile the rag head is getting fucked in jail by bbc and they'll do a whole sjw montage on how cruel the prison system is.
>>71908333
>IT FUCKING TAKES TIME HOLY SHIT
You are not following me, I am talking from a meta-perspective, what's the point of the witness character in your script when the "murdered" is immediately cought with the victims blood and the murder weapon.
The witness serves no purpose in your story because his entire character is superfluous
>Previously on Serial...
>>71908371
>that's the whole reason the show sucks, you know what is going to take place
What? You fucking daft moron. This show will clearly be out the first hand police work+system and judicial system failing when everything that goes wrong for the suspect (Naz) goes wrong.
It's about the proverbial fucking journey and not your final TWEEEST.
Pic related fucking watch it
>>71908371
I feel there's a bigger conspiracy involved. The girl was just too special (weird) - she's part of something bigger and now he is too. Lawyer is going to go on a quest, and the detective will be antagonistic but likely essentially help him after a while. My bet. Detective is likable even if he's currently looking to just bust his ass.
>>71908244
Exactly. Combined with coke it will make your dick go limp
>>71908405
>at's the point of the witness character in your script when the "murdered" is immediately cought with the victims blood and the murder weapon.
see >>71908417
>when everything that goes wrong for the suspect (Naz) goes wrong.
He is placed to the scene by two witnesses, one before the night (Bodie) and one after the murder (the creepy neighbor) so he has *no way out*
You guys have obviously never done cocaine or MDMA
Now doing too much cocaine is a different story, but if you you get the chance, fuck on coke, there's nothing like it
>>71908429
yep, so predictable already yawning.
>>71908405
That knife isn't the murder weapon
Its only going to match the hand wound, bet
>>71908448
>He is placed to the scene by two witnesses,
Which is pointless because he had the fucking murder weapon in his pocket and her blood on his hands.
And they had sex
And he was picked up two blocks away
And his prints are all over the house
There is no point to a witness
>>71908460
It's crime fiction, man. That's what it is. But the lessons in crime fiction aren't usually taught through the whole picture (how it all comes down), but along the journey. Show is technically well done as well; writing, screenplay, music, all done well. I'm glad for it. It's just good TV.
>>71908456
Both cocaine and MDMA causes impotence
>>71908498
witness helps though. the prosecution will just keep using more and more evidence to convince the jury even if they don't need all of it, they'd want to make it overwhelming.
>>71908513
a bit of cocaine and you're already. whenever i'd get blasted on a ton of coke and mdma my penis wasn't working. you could hack it by snorting a 1/4 of a viagra and then fuck but with the mdma better to just feel eachother forever and then when you come down a bit fuck.
>>71908555
>witness helps though
A judge would just decline your witness proposal because it serves no purpose and even the defendant is admitting he was at the scene of the crime.
It felt like a glorified episode of Law and Order with a greater commitment to realism. I'm not sure why I'm supposed to care about anything that's happening, and I think a large part of that was there was a giant Gandolfini sized hole in the episode.
>>71908590
you might be right, i'm no expert on this shit. but, i think for the sake of the story they just wanted overwhelming amounts of evidence that he was there and did it.
>>71908513
OK WebMD lol
Anyone got some Taxi Driver vibe? Especially when the camera was angled from like the upper corner of the front of the car?
I saw that as a tribute personally. De Niro is somewhat involved in the seires too IIRC.
>Arguing about witnesses
The neighbor talked to the cops on the scene, talked to Box, and he certainly gave a statement. And Bodie is still in custody, so they can talk to him whenever.
The actual evidence was a lot more important to both Box and the crime scene guys because of the sloppiness of the first responders and the way the evidence was handled at the precinct.
>>71908498
Do you understand that the prints alone do nothing. Concept of circumstantial evidence mean anything to you? It's stacking that on top of each other, since there are 0 witnesses to the murder. That's the gist, when everything goes haywire for the suspect, what happens?
If you can't place Naz at the fucking crime scene during the time of murder you have no case, prints or no prints in the house. They now have two (basically three if Bodies senpai shows up) placing him in the house during the time of the murder.
>had sex.
Where
>Two blocks away
so what, means nothing alone.
if you don't have the two witnesses.
now the murder weapon is another story lamo but you still need to place him there during time of death or the defendent lawayer will just cook up reasonable doubt case through some magic
Loved the fact he had had sex with one other person before. That is exactly what guys like Naz usually have.
Details were good in this shit.
>>71908737
Naz's actor was so fucking good.
>>71908760
Definitely. Guy is solid. Very solid.
>>71908760
Four Lions
>>71908689
>De Niro is somewhat involved in the seires too IIRC.
He's not. He was supposed to play the lawyer after Gandolfini died, but dropped out.
IMDB credits Riz Ahmed for only two episodes.
G-g-guys?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2401256/
>implying it wasn't the neighbor or bodie's mean mugging friend
>Or the limo driver
>Or the motorcycle dude
All the witnesses can also be suspects
>>71908846
Isn't the series supposed to follow a different character and point of view every epsiode?
>>71908875
Didn't know that
>>71908760
Yea he made nightcrawler somewhat watchable
>>71904590
i legit thought it was an adaptation of the serial story until someone pointed out to me it wasn't. Now would have been the perfect time, with the retrial and all.
>>71908862
>the neighbor
>the limo driver
Why on Earth would you think that?
>>71908875
Judging by the episode descriptions, it revolves around Naz's time in prison, and the parallel investigations of Box and Stone.
>>71908943
Same here. I was thinking of Serial the whole time. It's the next best thing tho, l'm okay with.
>tfw bigelow also shelved her film on bowe bergdahl
;_;
>>71909008
Why would the hearse just sit there not pumping gas and wait for them to leave? Creepy
.
Why would the neighbor be up at four am? Does he have an alibi?
Why would bodie's friend mean mug? When would the biker?
They explicitly show the back gate staying unlocked when she let the cat out
If you think nas had anything to do with her death you're pretty retarded
>>71908700
^ This. Police got a whole lot of circumstantial evidence, and I doubt that's actually the murder weapon. Prosecution will fall on its face without hard evidence, but convinced that he did it they'll railroad him somehow. Also I bet the lawyer gets a lot of evidence thrown out because the chain got fucked up
>>71909095
Yeah the knife is probably the weapon they used for their weird fucking game.
The actual murder weapon is probably from same set of knives but with the killer.
so the girl was sad because she knew she was going to die? that's the only mystery here, was the girl setting him up? it sure seems like it, but, why would she do that if she would ultimately end up dead?
>The twist is that Pajeet actually did kill her in a drug fuelled frenzy
