Robert P I thought this season was possibly the best one yet, very spooky but also plenty of mystery and suspense and big coverups and murders to uncover. It had interesting elements of supernatural and spiritualism, but everything could also be explained by a (mostly) rational explanation as well- letting the viewer decide which way they want to go with it. Considering the full days of darkness experienced in places above the attic circle, seeing apparitions or visions is not totally out of the ordinary when you don’t see the sun for days on ends. I thought they did a good job of playing with that element- are people just losing their minds a bit with the endless night or is there something more going on?? Great acting across the board, especially from some relative newcomers, a few small fun tie-ins with season 1, another great relationship between two detectives, a very spooky atmosphere, and a timely and important topic (MMIW, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women). If you liked season 1, you will like this season as well. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/15/25 Full Review Sarah H I am so confused about the positive critic reviews. It’s like the writers aced the day in writer school when they learned how to perpetuate a series based solely on meaningless jump scares and screaming and side plots that lead nowhere, but skipped class on the day they taught how to write actual depth into a plot line. Season One showed minimal gore and had quiet drama that carried it all the way through, which is part of what made it so great. This one is so bad I can’t even bring myself to finish the season. Something with this much money and talent invested should not be this bad. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review Jason D I don't see how the critics rated it as high as the first. Very hard to keep watching. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/03/25 Full Review Cynical C Night Country is the perfect example of how to ruin a perfect formula for a TV series. The main mystery is so blatantly obvious that even a bat could see it coming from a million miles away, the two main detective protagonists are both more toxic and downright nasty than the Kool Aid at Jonestown, and an ending so terrible that it is truly one for the ages.
