“The Night Of” (9 p.m. Sundays on HBO) has been one of the summer’s most compelling dramas. I hope the final three episodes make it worthwhile to have spent summer Sunday nights pondering the fate of Naz. In one scene, a middle-aged prosecutor, played with heartfelt ennui by Jeannie Berlin, stares down a hostile witness she’s interviewing. An eczema sufferer, Stone scratches with chopsticks and tries unhelpful remedies, both homespun (Crisco) and medicinal (steroids). When Pakistani-British actor Riz Ahmed stares at you with those soulful eyes, you want to believe him.
