What to Know

Critics Consensus

Frighteningly atmospheric and anchored by Jodie Foster and Kali Reis' superb performances, Night Country is a fresh and frosty variation on True Detective's existential themes.

Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) The performances are excellent and the midnight arctic setting unique, but there’s a point when mood just turns into vamping, and we passed that point back in Episode Three. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Phillip Maciak The New Republic True Detective was perhaps the last true effusion of a certain type of (pleasurably!) deranged fan engagement... Night Country is likely not going to resurrect that style of viewing, but it might well resurrect True Detective. Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Hugo Rifkind Times (UK) Essentially humourless, shot through a yellow wash... it is forever reaching — obviously, unabashedly — for heights to which few other shows even aspire. Sometimes, no question, it gets to them. The rest of the time, though, it just keeps on reaching. Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Tatat Bunnag Bangkok Post With its atmospheric setting and standout performances, this season rivals the series' acclaimed debut. Dec 23, 2024 Full Review Nelson Acosta Koimoi True Detective celebrates its tenth anniversary with the release of its fourth season, which for the first time leans heavily on the supernatural aspects only suggested in its first season. Rated: 4/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net Smart, compassionate, eloquent, and unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere. I hope Lòpez is given free rein to make ten more of these. I’ll watch every single one. Rated: 5/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Marcus B Tf did I just watch? All over the place. Started out intriguing but they had no idea what they wanted this season to actually be. They just threw darts at a wall. Great setting for this show but they didn't use any of the good elements they had to their advantage. The actors did fine but it just doesn't work. We're 4 seasons into this show and truthfully only the 1st season was good. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Samuel P Horrible. A disgrace to the legacy of True Detective Season 1. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Astrid S I love this one. Foster and Kali acting were amazing. Strong characters, women in a men environment, with male attitude combined with their own personalities. The artic setup with permanent night was superb and my favorite part. Nature like that could end your life easily, there are rules to live there, you see things, lack of sun affects your mental health… also, I really enjoyed the cultural aspect of it, the natives living there trying to protect what is left. Visually, it’s also stunning. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Winie F delivers complex characters who guide us through a captivating story. The writers do not subestimes the audience. A true crime narrative set in a stunning and immersive location. The connection to the local culture and the spiritual world is portrayed beautifully, adding layers and intrigue to the experience. A must-watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/25 Full Review Michael C My favorite season of the series and they all did amazing but Jodie Foster is superb in this series!!! Great Series Great Show Superb Season!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review Carola F It's crime-horror-supernatural, but grounded in the realities and particular social circumstances of this small Alaskan mining town. Probably my favourite crime drama I've seen in a long time. The characters are not always easy to like, especially Jodie Foster who plays a character who is terrible with people, but they're fascinating to follow. It was impossible to turn off.
