Series Creator “True Detective” Nic Pizzolatto expressed his dissatisfaction with the new season with the subtitle “Land of Night” – for this he himself was criticized by history fans.
Pizzolato has mentioned in the past that he has “nothing” to do with the fourth season, and after its completion, he began posting reviews on social media from other users who criticized the new story.
Many did not like this attitude of the author – in their comments, some called this behavior undignified, while others noted that the second and third seasons of “Detective” also did not shine with the quality of the scripts:
Some speculated that Pizzolato may have been angered by media reports that the new season of the crime anthology had outperformed previous stories in the series.
The final episode attracted more than 3.2 million people on its premiere day, while previous episodes attracted an average of 12.7 million people. True, many viewers greeted the last episode of the season negatively – it became the lowest rated among all episodes of the show on IMDb, now her score has dropped to 5.6 points. Fans did not like the solutions to the detective storyline and the problems with character development.
The plot of the season tells about the murder of scientists in the Arctic, which is investigated by two detectives with a dark past – the main roles are played by Jodie Foster (“Silence of the Lambs”) and Kali Reis. The latter, by the way, also called Pizzolatto’s behavior “a disgrace.”
The season was produced by Issa Lopez (“Tigers are not afraid”), who was involved in the script and directing.
