Want to dive into the terrifying fourth season of True Detective? Yes, do it, join us in our newest obsession. True Detective: Night Country brings us to Ennis, Alaska during the area’s annual 30 days of night. This makes for a creepy setting for Detective Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) to investigate their case.
Given the context of the show, the twists and turns in the case, and how utterly captivated we are by Night Country, it is easy to see why one of the most asked questions online is about when we can watch episode 3. While season 4 is a bit shorter than the previous seasons of the show (with only six episodes), we are getting some prime detective content that has us on the edge of our seats.
Episode 3 is set to premiere on January 28 at 9PM ET. Following the typical weekly release schedule has been both thrilling and aggravating because we just want to watch the story continue. But even Night Country creator and director Issa López has an opinion about how to watch it. She said to first watch the episodes week to week and then after all six air, go back and binge it to catch all the clues you might have missed!
Our need to know when the next episode of Night Country is coming out just shows our love for this series. We want to be back with Navarro and Danvers, trying to see how this new case connects back to Annie K.’s murder.
We’re obsessed!
I love a good detective story. Often resigned to seeing men trying to solve a case, what makes True Detective: Night Country so good is watching as these women search for answers and are good at their jobs—something that I always find comforting. Danvers and Navarro are both good at the work they do and great at working with each other to figure out what happened in Ennis.
Combined with the horrifying elements (corpsicle is a big one), the show has found a perfect balance to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Tackling the unsolved murder of an Indigenous woman named Annie years prior and how it ties into the deaths of several scientists working together at the Tsalal Arctic Research Center, the show is not only providing us a dark mystery but is also tackling the treatment of Native women in the area.
All of which just makes Night Country the latest HBO series that we need to watch the minute it drops every week. I just want it to be Sunday every day so I can head back into the world of Liz and Evangeline.
