In Issa López’s True Detective: Night Country, the researchers at Tsalal Arctic Research Station in Ennis, Alaska, mysteriously vanish during the time of everlasting darkness. Is it a paranormal phenomenon, an ancient creature lurking in the shadows, preying on the townspeople? Or perhaps a serial killer on the loose? One thing is certain: no matter what you think is happening in Night Country, nothing can prepare you for what’s actually true. The execution, music, and spectacular conclusion are only a few elements of this solid whodunnit show. As Jodie Foster and Kali Reis deliver tragic, utterly brilliant performances, López addresses an important issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) that must be brought to society’s attention.

It isn’t easy to warm up to investigator Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster). She’s tough and admirable, but she also disrespects others around her, particularly her superior, Peter Prior (Finn Bennett). Danvers is often someone who no one wants to work with. But when eight men disappear from the research station, Danvers, who’s an Alaskan career cop, and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis), an Indigenous (of Iñupiaq Nation) and Dominican ex-military officer, must re-learn how to operate together.
