Actually, The Long Night had me watching it because I found out it was based on a book. I know, many adaptations are not as successful or even based at all on the book, and, secondly, I haven't read the book (although I 'll search whether it's been translated into Greek), but provided it was based on literature, caught my interest.
The script, the direction, the music, the takes, the actors, were all amazing. The only spoiler I can give is the awsome scene on the 11th episode of the detective, his tennis ball and the music, that really made my jaw to drop.
The series portrayed -to my opinion- how unfair life can be in the pursuit of justice. The actor who played the role of the prosecutor, gave a stellar performance, as he starts as an optimistic young person that has the whole life infront of him and we can watch him to gradually lose his brightness and health being transformed to a shrunk and broken man, who insists to keep his hopes nevertheless.
Rewatch value 10/10. Don't miss that jewel.
