Season 4 to me has a distinct similarity to the Scandinavian series "Fortitude"

Fortitude, season 1 with visting American star Stanley Tucci, and season with Dennid Quaid is much better.

True Detective: Night Country is so dark and gloomy and ghetto-y it is depressing without the addition of any nice scenes ... it is depression overload.

The last thing that irks me about True Detective: Night Country, and most stuff that comes out these days is the never-ending overuse of music. It's like muzac now, every scene has to open or contain some song, and in the of TD:NC it is all female artists singing in a kind of register that grates like fingernails on a chalk board - the opening theme as the example, but it is all throughout.

Jodie Foster's character is a bitch. Not to be too cynical, but could it be because she is the pure white blonde snow-bitch. Is there anyone else in the whole cast who is white and blonde? I don't think so.

There's also a lot of police cliches, like cops who have the luxury jobs of being able to work on a single case that has not been solved in years 24 hours a day. The higher up governmental agency that wants to take our hero's case away from her.

Little elven Jodie Foster throwing around men over twice her size.

It must annoy real police officers no end when they see stuff like this.

So far, I'd rate it 5/10, average. It could be less since it is almost on the edge of being so boring and ridiculous as to not be watchable but it continues to hold my curiousity, maybe for all the wrong reasons.

I'd recommend the two Scandinavian series "Fortitute" and "Trapped". Both are really well done and have plots that keep you interested.
