TV: "This Is Going Great."

It's always exciting or at least interesting when schools are part of popular culture, right?

Last night's episode of "The Night Of," an HBO miniseries, opens with lawyer John Stone (played by John Turturro) trying to explain to a group of NYC high school students what a criminal defense lawyer does.

As with many things Stone attempts, the lesson isn't going very well. But when he turns to try and get some help from the classroom teacher, she responds indifferently (or obliviously) that things are going great.
