Audience Member The music is junk. I had to mute every episode because of the damn emo kids music. Are emo kids watching "True Detective"? Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Daniel J It had so much potential! The acting was great. The setting and atmosphere were perfect. Even the intial premise held promise. However, with each new episode, it got less and less interesting. It became some odd blend of predictability and under-baked story points. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Anthony W The worst season by far Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Frank H Better than season 1. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review DCI B True Detective has been one of my favorite shows - until Night Country. Great premise and atmosphere but that's where it ends. The show starts with two capable actors who are completely unlikable - and that means you don't care about them or anything they do. Checkbox #1 - all female leads that are better at their jobs than all the males around them and belittle the men at every oportunity. Kali Reis is good but you can't take your eyes off those distracting studs in her cheeks - in every scene. Jodie Foster doesn't have the acting range to play this character and comes off as mean, stern and unlikable. Then comes the car conversation where her 'daughter' gets in trouble at school. Checkbox #2 for a crime drama and it's OLD. The daughter is native indian and doesn't resemble Foster in the slightest so you're left wondering what relation this girl is to Foster. Adopted maybe? I guess we're just supposed to accept this odd pairing without thinking about it. Either way, Foster doesn't have the range to come off like a parent in any way, so it's just not believable for a second. And of course (checkbox #3) the daugher is lesbian. Just couldn't be bothered with the rest of the show after the initial tired old setup. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review João F Great idea, themes, and setting, but poorly executed. Good to have female leads, but the characters are unfortunately shallow and unlikeable. The story has too many plot holes and for the most part is boring and predictable. Can't belive critics rated this higher than season 1. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
