TRUE DETECTIVE is back, baby and this time it's a full-fledged horror show. TRUE DETECTIVE Season 4 is the best season since the first, and Jodie Foster gives a performance so steely she could cut armor. Chilling, evocative & so good. My review @inverse: https://t.co/z4T5uinRjZ
I am happy to report that the latest season of ‘True Detective: Night Country’ rules. It’s everything I hoped for and more. Here’s my review for @ThatShelfhttps://t.co/ntDnc5UAig
The new season of TRUE DETECTIVE is the best since the first, an absolute knockout from start to finish. Also? Scary as hell. Jodie Foster's excellent, Kali Reis is a goddamn revelation, and Issa Lopez's phone is about to be ringing off the hook. Get hyped, friends. pic.twitter.com/aYy3wHzq21
I've seen all of "True Detective: Night Country" and it is VERY GOOD and spooky. Jodie Foster gives one of her best performances. We are so back etc. etc. pic.twitter.com/BqBFYHJGzz
I was obsessed with the haunting horror-noir of TRUE DETECTIVE S1. The fourth and newest season is a beautiful return to form: scary, mysterious, and exceptionally performed. It’s literally everything I wanted from the series. pic.twitter.com/ofbNjsNi5f
Nope. Not at all. It's just been cool to bag on it. It was decent at worst. Just had the misfortune of being compared to season 1. The shootout halfway through the season is as good as anything you'll find on tv.
I never thought it was as bad as people complained about. I thought Farrell and Kitsch were awesome. The drug party scene is still one of my favorite television sequences of all time.
I didn't watch season 1 until just before 3 originally aired. I liked season 3 ok, but didn't love it so I never went back to watch season 2 since I had heard how bad it was. I finally went back and watched it and really liked it. A different vibe from the first season for sure but not the train wreck I had expected.

I was lucky enough to see the first few eps of the new season of True Detective and can say with absolute confidence that y’all are not ready for it. There’s something that happens in the first 10 mins of episode 2 that will either repulse you or hook you for the entire run.
True Detective Season 4 has one of the most disturbing scenes I’ve seen in anything since Seven. It was that big of a wtf moment that even if I could tell you what it was I wouldn’t be able to properly explain it in words lol it was that fucked up. #TrueDetectiveNightCountry… pic.twitter.com/qufynpBu3P
Basically, anything involving the primary case, Danvers, or her right hand man, I was in. But anything involving Navarro, while not terrible, I just wanted to get back to the other stuff. Reis is a better actor than I was expecting, but man her character just isn't compelling at all. I know it's unfair to compare her to one of the greatest television characters of all time, but Rust Cohle was HAUNTED. And within ten minutes of meeting him, we understood his entire outlook/philosophy on existence. Conversely, Navarro is just… mopey/stoic. And I'm sorry, but a detective who really wants to solve cases, and "believes in God," aren't interesting character traits. They're just… facts.
Anyway, again, overall I'm in. There's a ton of potential here, I like the hints at a possible supernatural element (even if they don't ever fully go there), and the preview for the rest of the season is great. In particular, I'm looking forward to the addition of Christopher Eccleston, and then hopefully seeing John Hawkes in a more expanded role...
