The series is a remake of a BBC series called Criminal Justice. It told mostly the same story, although the ending was a bit different. The overall outcome was the same but the trial ended differently and the id of the real killer was explained differently. They did the whole thing in five episodes. They did a second season with different characters that's quite good, too -- both are on Hulu.

I've been touting The Night Of big time since it started to everybody I talk to. I really enjoyed it.
It went from one of the best shows on TV to a total fail because of a tattoo? That doesn't make sense. I can understand the film coming down from what you originally thought it was, but that's not fair to me. Honestly, your bigger beef should be the silly storylineSpoiler:
The final episode was certainly a bit of a let down, but the show was still overall very strong.

I enjoyed The Night of. I felt like it was really good all the way around the board. John Turturro is a hell of an actor.

Watched first episode of Netflix original British crime series Marcella this morning -- looks good. Female DS has been on personal leave for a few years to raise family but returns to the job when a cold serial killer case heats up again. Her husband has just left her, plus she has one interesting quirk...

I watched that whole series about a month ago. I won't say anything about what I thought of it it until you're done.

That remind me. Exercise. I better go do that now. Will look out for your thoughts on it when you're done watching.
Does anyone know if the 30-day free trial of Netflix includes streaming? I have the DVD plan, but was thinking about signing up for the free trial with another e-mail acct. so I could watch Stranger Things. It's only 8 eps. so it shouldn't take me more than a few days.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Finished 11/22/63. I wanted to wait until all the episodes were available so I could watch them all together (plus I hadn't decided if I wanted to re-read the book first or not. I didn't) and I'm glad I did. I watched it over a period of four days instead of eight weeks.
Anyway, I really, really liked it.
Spoiler:
Besides these few minor things, I loved the series and would definitely do a re-watch sometime. Finally another good King adaptation! (I haven't seen Cell yet, but am not holding out hope based on feedback here.)
Fingers crossed for IT and The Dark Tower next year.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Netflix is very much worth it for good, not just a free trial.
Not for streaming. There's hardly anything on there I like enough to justify the extra dollars. Aside from Kimmy Schmidt, which I can wait for the DVD for.

No idea, but you could ask "bear." I believe he watched them online. You could check out couchtuner. New running only shows. If you have a good internet speed it won't be a problem. Or borrow a friends Netflix account. Or.....they are out there. You just need to know how to grab it.
I'm getting tired of seeing all these great shows popping up, but only offered through cable, or Showtime, or Netflix, or Amazon, or HBO. It's like you have to purchase EVERY single type of media to watch everything for the people out there that appreciate television. How much can one spend on television especially when personal priorities usually stem to work first. It's a never ending dilemma of what to do. There are ways around it obviously without dealing "with the man," but these days it is getting trickier to do so. The things I will do for good TV.

This! Ugh. I love having so many show options but the amount of platforms, channels, and devices is ridiculous. And then, like you said, you have to pay for each one separately.
I get the premium channels (HBO, Showtime, etc.) and have Netflix's DVD-by-mail, but that's where I draw the line. I'm not paying for Amazon, Hulu, and all that other stuff.

Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
