The Long Night

2020 · 1 season

A slow, brooding procedural that weighs on you as a decade of quiet obsession slowly unearths buried injustice.

Overview: It was an open shut case with hundred of witnesses seeing the murder suspect trying to dispose of a body and a signed confession from the suspect himself. And yet when the case was ready for court, the prosecutor discovered that the case was not as it appeared. The murder was but a cover for another more shocking injustice. He spent ten years trying to uncover the truth, toiling away his youth, his career, his reputation, his family, and even his life.
How it feels: Dark, tense, melancholic and earnest. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Justice, corruption, obsession, betrayal
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
