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 The 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 Ed Power Irish Times ...tension between tradition and capitalism drives the story. But this is, above all, a compelling thriller, supercharged by hints of the supernatural. Apr 8, 2025 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.

Florida J Loved Season 1 and 2, so I was excited to see that Jodie Foster was in the new season. Wow was this bad. I wish I had every second of my life back that I spent watching this season. I kept thinking it has to get better and it only got worse. By the time it got to the ending it was so ludicrous on so many levels that I could write a book about it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/25 Full Review Michael R What a fall from season 1. Very bad season. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Z S Night Country starts out with an intriguing hook, but the ending is so botched that I can't help but feel like I wasted my time watching this particular season. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Gaby S For those who can't stand slow narrative: Don't watch. For those who like it: I admit that throughout the series and towards the end I asked myself "why did they spend so much time introducing us to characters who had nothing to do with the deaths?" But in the end it all made perfect sense. They tied up all the loose ends and I found the ending very interesting. Ps.: Twist and shout has become a macabre song for me Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Rohit R I am a huge Jodie Foster fan but the show was extremely dull and boring. Did not enjoy it at all. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Marco J A major betrayal to this series fans, Season 4 introduces supernatural elements, underdeveloped characters and a plot so dull, you soon stop caring. Avoid at all costs! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
