Goofs

When John visits the prosecutor to talk about a deal and suggests manslaughter, she incredulously responds, "Excuse me? This is homicide, no way around it!" No prosecutor would ever have said that. As any lawyer knows, homicide is when one person kills another, and covers both murder and manslaughter. Manslaughter IS homicide.

Amazing show so far

Greetings from Lithuania.

"A Dark Crate", third episode of "The Night Of" continuous to give good in every scene, in every sentence. This show is definitely the most addictive and the best i've seen in many moons, and i do watch a lot of shows.

Writing is simply perfect as well as directing of each scene - everything is simply perfect, do so good that this is the only show at the moment which i do not want to end. Big two thumbs up to Steven Zaillian - the creator, writer and director of this truly unique show.

Can't wait to see next chapters. Amazing show in every sense.
