Review of The Beach

The Night Of: The Beach (2016)
Season 1, Episode 1
9/10
Quality storytelling, realistic situations, HBO's finest in this solid premiere
29 December 2016
Despite the fact of this episode being 80 minutes long, the time actually runs out pretty quickly while watching it. The story seems to be scripted and somehow convenient in some parts, but still it is conveyed very fluently and grips a lot of tension from beginning to end. Dialogues and situations are absolutely on point and above all they feel realistic and very suitable. The slow pace is what probably makes this episode, building up the tension and raising furthermore the audience's attention. Hopefully the rest of this show will follow this premiere's quality and dark low-key atmosphere.
