In its rawest part winterTrue Detective is back HBO. A comeback that occurs ten years later During the premiere of its first season and when the platform was hungry for new releases long Hollywood strikes Film shooting has been paralyzed for months since this summer. After the mishap that was its second part, each new episode of True Detective was met with an atmosphere of suspicion and mistrust. unforgettable ones the first chapters were placed on an altar and it seemed as if nothing could ever surpass them again. Those in charge of this new chapter seem to have assumed that this would be the case for most of the public and critics, no matter what they did. But the important thing was to do something better than the sequels and reinvent themselves. Have radical changesHowever protect essences elevated this classic. With one episode left before the end of this new season, we can evaluate how this twist is happening.
One of the first innovations was betting radical change of scenery. Except for the second season of Unfortunate Memories, previous episodes were set in Deep America. In this new episode We leave aside the swamps of the American Southgo to the cold Alaska territory. It’s a script that shows us much more snow than we can find in Fargo, another series that started at the same time as this one and lives an interesting parallel life. Subtitle Polar Night, The plot begins as one of those long nights where you can’t see the sunrise is about to begin. 65 days period. It’s the ideal setting to maintain the mood of pessimism that True Detective has always had. As they say in one of the most successful television series of the house, “winter is coming.” Winter is coming.
The mystery that the heroes must investigate revolves around a scientific station. The scenario that reminds us more of something horror moviehow can it be Thing, based on a detective genre fiction. The disappearance of base personnel and the connection of the case to an old unsolved crime are the triggers of the conspiracy. Anticipation for this new episode skyrocketed when it was made public before the premiere that they would be found at the crime scene. strange spirals used by the cult The crimes of the first season were behind him. ¿The Yellow King stepped back?
The station is located in front of one of those towns where everyone knows each other but life is not as calm and peaceful as it seems.

This new season has a much more supernatural feel to it than previous seasons, so much so that some scenes do. ghostly appearances This looks like something out of a movie James Wan. With one episode left in the season, I dare to say that these visions may not be anything ghostly, but rather hallucinations caused by the mine’s poisoning. There are very human monsters behind everything. I’ll check out this theory in a few days to see if I should eat it with chips.
Another of the biggest changes of this new season is the inclusion of two female police officers as heroes. But be careful, they can be just as macho and tough as the previous heroes. The undisputed star of the squad Jodie Foster in the role of the town sheriff. Her character is a far cry from that of rookie FBI agent Clarice Sterling, who launched her into stardom. The silence of the lambs. By the way, since we mentioned Hannibal Lecter, is there a hidden homage to the Hannibal series in the gruesome setting of the corpses of the station personnel? The mature detective has an air of loser around him, with a certain weakness for vodka and a fascination with anything that moves. Maybe it’s a result of having to work on the ass of the world.

Therefore, before the premiere, the series had a problem. negative comments campaign on some major portals in an attempt to lower its rating. Reviews written before episodes air are, as you can see, brimming with objectivity, a phenomenon that unfortunately continues to be the modus operandi.
Issa Lopes represented a complete break from previous seasons and an attempt to do something new. Produced the first season Nick Pizolatto And Cary FukunagaAlthough all the successes of these already legendary episodes are attributed to the latter. The fiasco of the second season occurred when Pizolatto took the reins of the series alone. At least with the third Pizolatto this thorn could be removed, although the idea had already germinated as in the first, none. It looked very similar to the other one. This fourth season arrives without any of the series’ original creators behind it, so there’s clear intent there. do something new. And from cold winter to warm spring.
