Sky and streaming service Now will debut a show this coming Monday, 15 January 2024, that I've eagerly-awaited for years, with HBO screening it in the US the night before. However, I've seen the first episode already (in gloriously suitable surroundings) and it's everything I'd hoped and more.
True Detective: Night Country is as dark and moody as the original first season, yet also something different – more like a spinoff than a true season 4. The first episode does complement previous seasons for sure, with a similarly intriguing, almost other-worldly murder plot, but it also has an essence of Twin Peaks and Sky's own Fortitude about it (which also features Christopher Eccleston, funny enough).
