True Detective: Night Country: Part 5 (2024)
Season 4, Episode 5
10/10
Dissapointing episode streak ended!
11 February 2024
So I really enjoyed this series in the beginning. This shows setting that was introduced in the forst episode had me really intrigued about where this season was headed.

Then episode 2 gave me confidence that even though this might be a slow burn. This season still has potential.

Didn't like the direction they went with episode 3 and it felt really slow and I didn't really have a good connection to the characters yet.

Where I felt the series was losing it's identity a bit was in episode 4 that felt like a filler episode. Very slow, but still I felt like I had finally understood the characters and their values a little bit better.

Episode 5 is where all this fluff and character development that didn't seem to lead to anything really does lead to something. This is a great episode and if somebody thinks this is a bad episode I strongly disagree with you. We finally get some answers and the plot is actually progressing. Also the acting has been great in this season, but especially in this episode. Great twists and a great ending to the episode.

Now all we need is a great finale and this may be in the running for 2nd place in the ranking of seasons. Kind of a shame that it will not surpass season 1, but I guess nothing ever will.

I'm feeling great after watching this episode!
