True Detective: Night Country Is Critically Acclaimed
After the first teasers launched, fans had an immediate reaction to True Detective: Night Country. The HBO series is continuously lot it on social media. In this era of prestige television, True Detective stands up there with some of the other heavy weights produced by HBO. ComicBook.com‘s Patrick Cavanaugh had the task of reviewing Season 4. He enjoyed the elements of the show where it was unafraid to break with tradition from the larger franchise. This is a gift and a consideration as the fans look toward the past for links to some of their favorite storylines. Would Night Country have been better served as its own original premise? We’ll never know. But what we did get was a satisfying entry in the larger True Detective universe.
“Night Country proves there can still be life in the True Detective brand, so long as HBO continues to empower ambitious storytellers like López, while also showcasing that a gripping adventure is comprised of far more than just a recognizable title,” Cavanaugh says in the review from ComicBook.com. “Whether Night Country would have been better as a standalone series or not will never be known, but after waiting nearly a decade, longtime True Detective fans will be pleased to see that this new season is the best the franchise has been since we first learned that time was a flat circle.”
