The Screen Addict Recommends – True Detective: Night Country

It’s been a while since a film or TV show scared the living sh*t out of me (not counting 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀).

HBO’s 𝗧𝗗:𝗡𝗖 takes the excellence of Nic Pizzolatto’s original show and amps it up with a story that invokes 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝟭𝟵𝟴𝟮), 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗻𝗶𝗮 (𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟮) and The X Files, plus a jump scare that gives the “Sloth-Sequence” from David Fincher’s 𝗦𝗲𝟳𝗲𝗻 (𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟱) a serious run for its money.

Relative newcomer Kali Reis is a revelation and more than holds her own against heavyweights Jodie Foster and John Hawkes.

Incoming showrunner Issa López’ provocative and captivating vision makes me curious about her earlier work. Shame on me for not being aware of this exciting new voice before.

All in all…

Seek it out & get your fix.
