Review of True Detective Night Country REVIEW - Season 4 HBO 2024

Boy is this a waste of time. Uninteresting characters, a boring storyline and a complete lack of drama. The script and acting lack much depth and it's very hard to build much connection with the characters or their predicament. A big come down from Seasons 1 and 3 which wove truly gripping stories around murders and provided truly engaging connections with their contexts. This is a shame as it could have been so much better as evidenced by outstanding snow-bound Arctic mysteries like Midnight Sun, Trapped and Fortitude. This is turgid and as much as I like Jodie Foster even she couldn't save this frigid mess!
