True Detective has run for four seasons so far, with each installment presenting a completely new story. I’ve made my way through all of season three and several episodes of season four. Generally speaking, this is an absorbing show that's carefully constructed and smart, though the newest chapter, "Night Country," seems to incorporate elements suggesting something beyond the natural world. The performances are…

True Detective: Night Country proves to be an absorbing and atmospheric thriller that elevates the anthology format. The story unfolds in the isolated and harsh Alaskan wilderness, centering on two detectives who must set aside their personal and work-related conflicts to investigate a perplexing case involving a missing research group, a dismembered tongue, and what might be a link to the unresolved killing of a nat…
