"True Detective" Season 4 has concluded, and its January season premiere marked the return of HBO's anthology crime show after a nearly five-year hiatus It was also the first installment without showrunner Nick Pizzolatto, and despite being an objective hit for HBO, it was not without controversy

Season 4 was dubbed True Detective: Jodie Foster and Kari Lace play detectives Liz Danvers and Evangeline Navarro and takes place in the cold, dark Alaskan winter Of course, in addition to screening on HBO, the film will also be streaming on Max, the best streaming service available

"Night Country" takes place during the sunless winter months in the frozen tundra of Alaska and, according to new showrunner Issa Lopez, is heavily influenced by the serial killer films "Seven" and "Silence of the Lambs" These comparisons feel apt, given the ominous, if not eerie, turn of events in the trailer

As noted above, this season was generally impressive through the first five episodes I received a very positive reception, despite a fourth episode that temporarily set the tone, and Ryan Epps praised the first half, saying, "In my eyes, it proved to be a return to form, really promising to be as good as the first hit season"
