Feb 19, 2019I enjoyed the premier but the show went down hill 90 miles an hour. The actress who plays Fauna is absolutely terrible at acting. And why the blue eyes? Too much emphasis on Jay Singletary's PTSD, use of drugs and alcohol. Would of been better to have made a movie or lowered the episodes to half. The writing is so poor I half suspect a 13 year old wrote it.

In some ways, I Am the Night is too much--and not enough--of a good thing.
-
Jenkins’ direction allows space for Pine’s performance to muscle through any holes and shortcomings in “I Am the Night,” while Eisley’s grace and silence convey the threat of the Hodels’ menace. As it comes together, the final cut isn’t quite a bleeding-edge thriller so much as a visually sumptuous, slightly filthy noir attraction that doesn’t necessarily shed outrageous new light on a vintage mystery. But it succeeds in elevating the best in the talent resurrecting a piece of it.

Unfortunately, though Eisley is affecting, Fauna’s story feels like it’s skimmed over. The racial elements are intriguing. ... But, like Fauna’s character, this aspect of the tale is underdeveloped. Pine, who’s also an executive producer, has more success with Jay, giving a contemporary spin to a film noir-style antihero.
