Plots(1)
Touch darkness and darkness touches you. From HBO and creator/executive producer Nic Pizzolatto comes this searing crime drama series that follows troubled cops and the intense investigations that drive them to the edge. Each season features a star-studded new cast involved in cases that will have you on the edge of your seat. In Season 1, it was Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as two polar opposite cops on the hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana. In Season 2, a bizarre murder case brings together three law-enforcement officers (Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Taylor Kitsch) and a career criminal (Vince Vaughn). (HBO Nordic)

True Detective (2014)
A very good crime drama with a couple of great actors and a priceless gloomy atmosphere. I liked the way the filmmakers played with various details, such as the aging of the two characters (although Harrelson's "young" tupé was very obvious, even worse than his accent, which was also agonizing) and how they managed to piece together the story, even in pieces. For my taste, however, True Detective lacked any surprises. I didn't want a shocking point right away, but still, some "Well, I didn't expect that!" wouldn't hurt. "It used to be just darkness. In my opinion, light wins."

Night Country (2024) (S04)
It is a pity about the rushed ending, which for example escalated the relationship between the Prior father and son too much for my taste and almost took the other characters (Danvers' daughter, the mysterious Rose) too far. Otherwise, I really enjoyed Night Country, and I'm not just talking about the fantastic atmosphere and the captivating cinematography, but especially the performances of Jodie Foster and Kali Reis. The combination of crime and mystery worked well, I can't imagine a more appropriate setting for such a case.
