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 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 Chris McCoy Memphis Flyer Lopez’s direction on all six episodes is exceptional. She brings elements of Lynchian surrealism...

Troy V It is beyond my understanding how anyone could like this series. It's horrible Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Daren A This season had so much potential. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to previous seasons. The biggest problem for me is that the story isn't very good. Most of the acting was pretty good, although Jody Foster, who is normally great, turned in a performance that I didn't care for. The feminism messaging was slightly over the top, especially the ending, which was terrible. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Tahir A i just finished Night country and i am extremely disappointed to be honest. Episode one was okayish but steadily declined to to absolute garbage of an ending. I couldn't believe that it is a detective show ending. Waste of time to be honest. If someone is watching this review please do not watch it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Jonathan E This is finally a return to the smart and awesome qualities of the first season. Foster and Reis are great together and are not just attempting to reclaim the genius of Harrelson and McConaughey but actually doing something different together. The explicit supernatural elements and environmental themes of the show break new ground and give the series a new sense of purpose. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant, strong story and a massive twist you won't see coming. Absolutely the best season of the series. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review W R A Critics will love this because it’s diverse, has female leads, is female directed/written, and touches on sociopolitical issues. However, this season of TD had very uninteresting unlikable characters and bad plot holes. Sure, it’s better than S2&3, but that’s not a high bar. Cool b-roll shots of the city/wilderness in an interesting location can only go so far. Nothing will ever top Season 1 of this series. You can skip this.
