Reviews For New 'True Detective' Season Are Unbelievably Positive, Holds Shocking Rotten Tomatoes Score

The early reviews for "True Detective: Night Country" are through the roof.

The fourth season of the hit HBO saga premieres January 14th, and the plot of the new season with Jodie Foster is described as follows:


When the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the eight men who operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace. To solve the case, Detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Reis) will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves, and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.

As OutKick readers know, I've been amped up and ready to roll ever since cameras first started rolling on the new season. It's been far too long since viewers were taken inside the "True Detective" universe.

Well, some early reviews have hit the web, and the already fired up hype is about to absolutely explode.

"True Detective: Night Country" generates great early reviews.

Season four of the HBO hit currently holds a 100% (!!!!) rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, and it sounds like it's going to be the best season since the first one with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.

Below are a few snippets compiled on Rotten Tomatoes from critics about the season from Issa Lopez:

Those are just a handful of comments from reviews on Rotten Tomatoes as of publication. A show having a 100% rating is about as rare as a unicorn sighting. Yet, that's exactly where "True Detective: Night Country" finds itself with under two weeks until the premiere.

If you weren't already excited, it might be time to start getting amped.

People crave great content that's dark, engaging, intriguing and fun. The first season remains the greatest single season of TV ever made, and the fact "Night Country" is being compared to it should inspire fans everywhere optimism and hope. We'll find out very soon whether or not it will live up to the hype, but at the moment, my interest is growing at a rapid rate. Let me know your predictions at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
