Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of True Detective, I am thrilled about the upcoming Season 4, titled "Night Country." The change in setting to Alaska and the focus on female protagonists add a fresh and intriguing element to the series. The synopsis hints at a dark and mysterious plot involving the disappearance of eight men at a research station, which promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
While I am excited about the new direction, I must admit to feeling a bit disappointed by the reduced episode count compared to previous seasons. With only six episodes, I worry that the story may feel rushed or lack the depth and character development that made the earlier seasons so compelling. However, I trust in the creative team behind the show and hope that they will deliver a satisfying and captivating season despite the shorter format.
