Is The Night Of the new thing that everyone's watching? I hope so, because I am officially caught up on all one episode of it and believe I can stay (mostly) up to date for another month or so or however long it runs for. Anyway, if you haven't checked it out yet, HBO's new crime drama seems like it could be this summer's big thing to watch.

So far it's all pretty interesting, though I do have one complaint: the manic pixie nightmare at the center of its plot. There's really only one major woman on the show (so far), and she's both dead (please, this is not a spoiler) and unrealistically, well, manic, as the phrase goes, whisking a sad young man off into the night on a crazy adventure. Only instead of helping him see life in a new way, he ends up super in jail. My hope is that the coming episodes will attempt to flesh out her character — and I suspect it's likely heading in that direction — rather than letting the plot rest on someone out of a twisted fairy tale. Seriously, male writers, this trope is avoidable. Introducing other female characters wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Here are the nine trailers from the week worth checking out:
