The fourth season of HBO’s True Detective, subtitled Night Country, has begun airing, with the first episode having premiered on January 14.
The show centres on an investigation into the mysterious disappearance of eight men from a research station in Alaska. Directed and co-written by Issa López, the second episode of the drama airs tonight (January 21).
In a five-star review, NME wrote: “It all builds to a climax that is far-fetched but also, in a way, completely authentic to López’s prevailing vision. True Detective: Night Country is brilliant winter TV: scary, suspenseful and smartly constructed to leave you pondering every last plot twist and shock reveal.”
Speaking about difference between Night Country and previous seasons of the show, López told Vanity Fair that “where True Detective is male and it’s sweaty, Night Country is cold and it’s dark and it’s female.”
The show has received high praise from critics across the board, however López has this week called out fans of the first season of the show for “review-bombing” this season, or giving it deliberately low scores to keep the Season One score higher.
