    One of the best series I've seen in ages. The last episode was deeply emotional, especially when he sits on the dock and remembers the girl.

      @VladDImpala 7 лет назад +4

      The series was much more than one night. Naz was in Rikers about 4-6 months. There actually might be a second series with John Turturro on a different case. Never say never.
      There was a very long time span between the initial Gandolfini pilot being filmed (Dec 2012), hiring John T and the actually airing. Riz said the series actually took nearly half of his 10 year acting career. Riz dedicated 5 years to this series! I can understand him not wanting to do a second series. A series doesn't end when it's finally aired, there's promotion, interviews etc.
      Over the past few months, in order to get EMMY noms, the cast have done yet another series of TNO panel interviews. Apparently, their work on this series is not quite done, lol

      @user-kj3sk5bz3b. *The series was not actually about 'who' killed the young woman, however, by the end of the series, it was pretty much revealed who killed her. The series was more about how a certain segment of society is treated by the police and the incompetence of the entire investigation. There were so many flaws in the investigation, which savvy viewers could easily figure out from the very beginning, most viewers knew the main character did NOT kill the young woman.*
