Max has several of his productions on the ambitious list of the best series in history, an audiovisual Olympus with unforgettable television proposals.
We are referring to a series of products that marked a before and after in the history of the platform and in our lives, such as ‘The Sopranos’, that very accurate chronicle of daily life and the personal and professional adventures of the most famous mafia clan. from New Jersey and, of course, the best series of all time without discussion.
There are also instant classics in the form of the best series of the 21st century, such as ‘Game of Thrones’, ‘The House of the Dragon’, ‘Succession’, ‘Euphoria’ and the first season of ‘True Detective’, all of them of unquestionable quality.
Precisely, if you are one of those who enjoys the first season of the series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, you have to know one of Max’s best series on par with this one and, according to ‘Variety’, “a brilliant and addictive game that inspires you to rewatch the same scenes, looking for subtler ties between characters and hidden clues.”
We are referring to ‘The Night Of’, a series directed by Steven Zaillian, who recently gave us ‘Ripley’, one of the best series of 2024, which captivates from the first minute in the middle of a plot full of confusion and unexpected turns.
In the 8-episode series starring Riz Ahmed (who won the Emmy for Best Lead Actor for his performance), John Turturro (in a role that was going to be played by the unforgettable James Gandolfini), the much-missed Michael K. Williams and Bill Camp, we witnessed one of those nights that looked very good for our protagonist and, however, ended up becoming the worst of nightmares.
And, after spending the night with a stranger in Manhattan, Pakistani Naz wakes up and finds her stabbed in bed. Frightened, Naz decides to flee until he is arrested and, in this way, becomes the only suspect in the murder.
‘The Night Of’ is, without a doubt, one of Max’s best intrigue and mystery series, a proposal about trials and murders that does not leave us a moment’s respite until we form a puzzle that dismantles the imperfect American judicial system and that It has that long shadow doubt that is sown and settled in our head: What if Naz did do it? Would he have (hidden) reasons for carrying out this murder?
If that doesn’t seem like enough of an argument to you, here are 5 good reasons why you should see ‘The Night Of’, one of the best proposals to emerge in recent years that will make you enjoy an unforgettable marathon.
