HBO series about a college kid that has a drunken romp with a strange woman, passes out and wakes up to find her dead with all the evidence pointing toward him and the court case that follows.
Starts off great. First couple episodes were really good imo bringing the detective character the defense attorney and the accused all into the same circle. Then it started to fluff out...focusing on a lot of the things in each of their individual lives and less on the mystery of the case and I got a little less interested. It was still good, just fell short of my expectations after watching the first episode. Turturro was particularly wonderful tho. Definitely an interesting, short (8 episode) series.

I loved it. The focus on their individual lives made it all the more interesting to me.

I think I was more looking into the mystery 'whodunnit' aspect of the story and never really felt like they panned it out as well as it coulda been. It definitely didn't have that jolt of satisfaction of seeing the guilty party get their comeuppance.

I thought it got better and better.
I thought the best aspect of it was the corrupting influence of just being in prison and the affect it had on the guy (He's got to be the hardest working man in Hollywood right now).

I watched the British show it's based on (Criminal Justice) a few years back but must have missed this. Will look out for it if they repeat it.
