True Detective: Night Country: Part 1 (2024)
Season 4, Episode 1
6/10
Solid but then the mixed second half happened.
5 February 2024
I have no idea why the second half of this episode was so poorly written, especially when the first half built up the suspense so well. It's almost like someone else wrote and directed the second half of the opening episode.

Firstly, there was a very unnecessary sex scene that moved the plot no where and had no effect on building anyone's character. Literally no point, it should've been cut.

Secondly, there was a conflict between two persons for the sake of conflict that did nothing but pull the audience out of the show, this also should've been cut.

I just don't get it, you have all the resources and the backbone of a great series to build upon but this is the execution?

Jodie Foster is the best part of this episode and I have a feeling as the season goes on, we'll see less of her... which is just sad and telling of the direction they had in mind for this season.
