Did you think The Night Of would get such a great response?

When I read the script, I knew it was one of the best pieces of writing I’ve ever come across. But I had no idea it would be received the way it was. That said, whenever I was with Riz [Ahmed], Peyman [Moaadi] or any actor in that show, I always knew the calibre of acting in the room was higher than I’ve ever come across.
