Title: True Detective
Review I usually no longer review additional seasons of a show I have already reviewed-but each of this show’s season are so distinctly unalike and individualized that I’m making an exception. This season, developed by original creator of the series, Pizzolatto, and featuring Jodie Foster, was by far the best since the amazing first season with McConaughey and Harrelson. Set in the dark season (no light at all) in remote Alaska it is a riveting tale of obsession, mysticism, friendship and power/greed. Foster has reinvented herself for this role and Reis is a screen staler. The ambience is unlike anything else on television, and although confusing at times, it is hard to look away from. Very unusual, very intense, not for everyone- but film quality television. A whopping 92% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes- which is unheard of for a TV series.
