After several years of waiting, a cult and captivating detective series is returning to streaming. This is the event of the week not to be missed.
If there is a series not to be missed this week, it is undoubtedly this one. Four years after its last season, this nervous and intense detective series, which has become cult, makes its highly anticipated return in streaming every Sunday in the United States. It will be possible to see it in France every Monday, from January 14.
True Detective was unanimously acclaimed by critics during its first season in 2014. This anthology detective series, whose story and casting change each season, brings together a five-star cast and systematically follows a distressing criminal investigation that questions our society . If season 2 had more mixed reviews, the first and third were praised by the press and the public.
Season 4, titled True Detective: Night Country, has already received very positive reviews from the media who were able to view it before its release. This new burst of episodes takes place in Alaska. Two investigators, Liz Danvers and Evangeline Navarro, are tasked with investigating the disappearance of six men from a research station.
This fourth season of True Detective reunites Jodie Foster (who won the Academy Award for Best Actress for a similar role in Thesilenceofthelambs) and American boxer Kali Reis (Black Flies) in the duo of investigators. They give the answer to Fiona Shaw (Harry Potter, Killing Eve), Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who) and John Hawkes (3 Billboards: the panels of revenge).
If the writers and directors of previous seasons have changed in True Detective: Night Country, that does not prevent it from being a success. Fans of the first season will find the sticky and disturbing atmosphere of the first, as well as investigators consumed by their past confronted with a dark investigation.
This is a “real achievement” according to Indiewire, when the Daily Telegraph (UK) hails a “spectacular, terrifying and unforgettable” season with a “stunning Jodie Foster”. For Rolling Stones magazine, this is a “must see” season.
This season 4 is made up of six episodes. Each is broadcast in France on Mondays from January 15, 2024. It should therefore end on February 19. To see True Detective: Night Country for streaming, however, you must subscribe to two subscriptions. First, you must have access to Prime Video: the Amazon site is available for 6.99 euros per month (30-day free trial).
But unfortunately this is not enough to see season 4 of the detective series, just like all other HBO programs. You must also subscribe to the Warner pass accessible from Prime Video. The latter costs 9.99 euros per month after a 7-day free trial. From next summer, you will have to go to Max to watch HBO series in France.
