I've just finished watching my favourite sci-fi in years. Well, if it could truly be called an out-and-out sci-fi – you could label it a crime drama in the same breath, although you'll need to get to the end of all six episodes to decide for yourself. But after the major success of True Detective: Night Country, the show is confirmed to return for a new season, with the writer Issa López back on board.
However, not all fans are happy about it. Indeed, the creator of the original series, Nic Pizzolatto, has already publicly slated Night Country, calling it "stupid". You can make your own decisions, but with the new show screening a decade after the original and clearly linking itself to that series – the original three True Detective seasons are famously standalone, with no links between them – it does therefore have a different feel about it.
