The second trailer for Alien: Romulus contains all kinds of twisted xenomorph horror. We’ve been having a closer look at the finer details.
Nb: The following contains conjecture and general theorising that may be considered spoiler-y. Nothing that hasn’t been revealed in the new trailer, though.
If March’s teaser trailer for Alien: Romulus played coy, this week’s promo, lasting a full two minutes, is where director Fede Alvarez really bears his teeth. In fact, this writer’s initial reaction was that the new trailer for the upcoming Alien film gives away a little too much.
On closer inspection, though, it cleverly drops all sorts of hints without spoiling too many specifics. The first minute, in particular, merely fleshes out what we’ve already gleaned from various loglines and interviews. Its events take place between Alien and Aliens, and sees a group of six scavengers board an abandoned Weyland Yutani space station.

A pivotal moment comes as the fourth season of “True Detective: Night Country” hits a thrilling end in episode six. Law enforcement officers Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis), find themselves at the entrance to the ice cave. After they reach a dead end, Liz decides they should head back, but just as they do so, the two end up falling into the cave’s lower levels.
“The maze really works. You have no idea where they’re going to,” cinematographer Florian Hoffmeister says.
He is referring to the ice caves in the fictional town of Ennis, Alaska where the show is set. The HBO series follows a dual narrative. One is the 6-year-old cold case of Annie K., the other, the other is the unnatural murders of the Tsalal research scientists.

*Spoiler Alert: Spoilers for True Detective: Night Country ahead*
Acting is undeniably a rollercoaster journey filled with exhilarating highs and challenging lows. However, within the chaos, there exist those rare scenes that deeply shake one’s very core. True Deceptive Night County, starring the incredible Jodie Foster, showcases this aspect of the craft perfectly.

Despite her stellar performance throughout, there was a particular scene from the finale that felt like walking into a nightmare for her. While audiences may find it difficult to watch, the true challenge lies in the actor’s experience of bringing such intense moments to life on screen. Thus, it is important to applaud the tremendous courage it took for Foster to confront and execute that particularly harrowing scene where she had to fall through the ice.

Aryna Sabalenka continued her amazing play at the 2024 Roland Garros with another crushing victory, securing a spot in the quarter-final.
The Belarusian was widely considered the second favorite, only behind Iga Swiatek, and that's only because the Polish player beat her twice leading up to this event. She has the level and experience to win the tournament, but it will likely require her to beat the Pole on clay, which she hasn't been able to do this year.
She has done it in the past, though, so anything is possible, especially if she keeps playing like this. Her fourth-round match against Emma Navarro was a typical Sabalenka experience, as she brought the hammer early.
She was up 2-0 after the opening two games and then added another break after that. The American is a capable player in general, but she had no chances in this match because she simply doesn't...

HBO broadcast its first women’s boxing bout, between Kali Reis and Cecilia Brækhus, in 2018. Just six years later, Reis is one of the stars on HBO’s “True Detective: Night Country,” where she plays Detective Evangeline Navarro alongside Jodie Foster. That could very well be the first time any HBO lead was first seen on the pay cabler in a boxing match.
“What’s really great about this whole journey is that things that are so far fetched are like not impossible in some part of my brain that understands that it’s a possibility,” Reis tells Variety‘s Awards Circuit Podcast. “And I think that’s one of the many things that keeps me grinding so hard.”

Guitarist Dave Navarro was back playing with Jane’s Addiction at London’s Bush Hall on Thursday (May 23rd), marking his return to the stage after a battle with long Covid kept him sidelined for a few years.
In 2022, original bassist Eric Avery rejoined the legendary alt-rock band after more than a decade away, but with Navarro sitting out, it prevented a reunion of the classic Jane’s Addiction lineup. Queens of the Stone Age’s Troy Van Leeuwen and former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer had filled in the past couple years.

On Thursday night, Navarro, Avery, singer Perry Farrell, and drummer Stephen Perkins played their first show together since 2010.
In addition to Navarro’s return, the concert featured the debut of a new song called “Imminent Redemption.” The band also played “True Love,” another new tune that they unveiled in concert last year.

Jane’s Addiction’s classic lineup performed its first show in 14 years last night at London’s Bush Hall. The band, who reunited with co-founding bassist Eric Avery in 2022, took the opportunity to showcase a new track, “Imminent Redemption.”
The song marks the band’s second new song in the past year after they debuted “True Love,” their first new music in over a decade, last year. Jane’s Addiction initially formed in 1985 and features singer Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins, and bassist Eric Avery.

Netflix’s star-studded roast of Tom Brady titled The Greatest Roast of All-Time: Tom Brady, might’ve earned a lot of laughs when it aired Sunday night, but by Monday morning, the cohosts of The View had nothing but jeers for the special. Ana Navarro in particular was fit to be tied about the fact that Brady’s ex-wife Gisele Bündchen was the subject of so many shots from the stage. After moderator Whoopi Goldberg noted that Brady was a “good sport” throughout the program, Navarro took issue with that assessment. “If I was getting paid what he was probably getting paid — he was an executive producer — I’d laugh at all sorts of things. But I think the person who wasn’t getting paid and ended up being part of this roast was Gisele,” Navarro said before noting a recent incident in which Bündchen was in tears during a...

As millions of horse-racing enthusiasts tune into the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, the pageantry of “the sport of kings” will be on full display: magnificent thoroughbreds thundering down the muddy, mile-and-a-quarter-long track at Churchill Downs, a heavy-betting crowd in their most flamboyant finery cheering them on. But behind the lemon-colored sundresses and feathered headpieces, the iconic bugle call and the hold-your-breath excitement, one of America’s most storied sports is plagued with problems.

On Monday, the Supreme Court rejected former Trump adviser Peter Navarro‘s bid to stay out of prison while he appeals his conviction for evading a congressional subpoena.
Navarro, 74, was charged with two counts of contempt of Congress after he refused to cooperate with the House January 6 committee investigating the Capitol Riot. Navarro failed to provide documents to the committee and refused to testify. Navarro cited former President Donald Trump‘s executive privilege to maintain confidentiality. However, there is no evidence that Trump ever asserted the privilege or that it would apply in this case.
This is Navarro’s second attempt to stay out of prison. In March, Chief Justice John Roberts denied Navarro’s first request. Navarro was ordered to report to a federal prison in Miami on March 19. Navarro renewed his request to Justice Neil Gorsuch. The motion was brought to a full court for a vote. Previously,...

While you can never really say that one show is objectively better than another, here the facts speak for themselves.
True Detective Season 1, starring McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, boasts a 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes, compared to 84% for Season 3, 78% for the most recent Season 4, and a lowly 47% for Season 2.
Audiences largely agree, rating Season 1 the highest at 89% and Season 2 the lowest at just 27%. Seasons 3 (55%) and 4 (57%) are about equal in viewers' eyes.
The average viewership tells a similar story. The original averaged 2.33 million viewers per episode. Season 3 is significantly lower at 1.25 million, with Season 4 averaging 0.65 million viewers per episode.
Season 2 is the anomaly. Its average of 2.61 million is the highest of any franchise. But a deeper dive shows that this was a reaction to how good Season 1 was, and it's no wonder that Issa López chose to tie Season 4 to it, piquing fans' interest and expectations.

Night Country was doomed to be compared to previous seasons created by Nic Pizzolatto, and it failed that test miserably, with showrunner Issa Lopez deciding to tease viewers that everything that happened was connected to the events of the first season. Unfortunately, in the end, this turned out to be blatant deception and pure fan service in the worst sense of the word.
For some reason, we see the ghost of Rust Cohle's father, but this false evidence leads nowhere; at the same time, Lopez quotes the famous line about time as a flat circle in the final episode. Unfortunately, the fourth season has few merits, except for the spectacular setting and Jodie Foster's acting.
The bold gender revision only masks a complete lack of original ideas, and Navarro and Danvers seem too similar to McConaughey and Harrelson's characters, even in their story arcs.

It was no secret that The View co-host Ana Navarro wasn’t a fan of The Golden Bachelor from the beginning. She spoke about it on the talk show several times, expressing how much she hated the whole idea. Now that the couple announced their divorce, Navarro was eager to rub it in her co-hosts’ faces. Keep reading to see what she had to say during Friday’s show.

Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner and his soon-to-be ex-wife Theresa Nist announced their split on Friday, April 12 on Good Morning America.
As the pair held hands during a joint interview, Turner shared the news. He said, “We’ve looked closely at our situation, our living situation, and so forth, and we’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s probably time for us to dissolve our marriage.”

The only person who knows for certain what happens to Detective Navarro at the end of HBO’s True Detective: Night Country is Kali Reis herself.
“I have my own interpretation for Navarro, but I have not shared that with a soul,” Reis shared during the Deadline TV Contenders panel for the series.
Reis was joined by her co-star Jodie Foster, as well as showrunner Issa López, to discuss Night Country. While the ending may seem quite ambiguous, López assured that there is “an answer,” if audiences look close enough.
“I think that if you look very carefully, very carefully at the show and follow the lines very carefully, there’s an answer to what we saw at the end,” she told the audience. “But again, there’s a space for where your heart wants to live…and what you need to get out of it.”

There was little love for the divorcing Golden Bachelor couple on The View today, as the cohosts on ABC’s daytime talker took aim at ABC’s romance-for-seniors reality show.
“For six months you tortured me every Friday and made me talk about this topic, which I can’t stand because I think it’s manufactured and a complete crock,” said Ana Navarro about the View‘s weekly Golden Bachelor post-mortems. “So today I get to say, I told you so, I told you so, I told you so.”
Earlier today on ABC’s Good Morning America, Golden Bachelor couple Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist announced that they are getting a divorce just three months after their much-hyped televised wedding in January.
Navarro had previously spoken about her dislike for the Bachelor show and the genre, but cohost Sunny Hostin had been a fan. Past tense.

For some of them, the news was unexpected, but for Ana Navarro it was completely foreseeable and a cause to celebrate. “For six months, you tortured me every Friday and made me talk about this topic — which I can’t stand because I think it’s manufactured and a complete crock — and today I get to say, ‘I told you so, I told you so, I told you so,” Navarro told her cohorts with a happy dance in her chair. Joy Behar was in Navarro’s camp of being snarky about the news, joking, “For my money, they still have time to find love. She has money, he has Viagra. They’ll be fine.” However, for Sunny Hostin...

The View co-hosts Alyssa Farah Griffin, Ana Navarro, Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin did public penance today for their recent “rabbit hole” speculation about Kate Middleton, saying they regret indulging in silly conspiracy theories that were rampant prior to the princess’ announcement Friday that she has cancer.
And all three said they regret not taking the advice of View moderator Whoopi Goldberg to, as Navarro said today, “mind my own damn business.”
The three co-hosts spent considerable airtime last week playfully discussing the mystery of Middleton’s whereabouts, as well as the meanings and motives behind the recent photoshopped Royal Family photo.
Only Goldberg refused to indulge in the speculation, repeatedly advising her co-hosts to stop the theorizing, insisting that even Royals deserve privacy.
Today, Griffin said she “forgot something fundamental,” that people can be “dealing with personal struggles we don’t know about. I send my love to her and my strength to her.

After Kate Middleton revealed she is battling cancer following heightened speculation about her whereabouts and health, many took to social media to react to the news.
In a video shared on social media Friday, the Princess of Wales detailed, “In January I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful; however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present,” the Princess of Wales said in a video update shared on social media. She said that she has begun a course of preventative chemotherapy treatment.
“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” Middleton said in the video. “As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken us time for me...

The View co-hosts took sides today on whether former child stars should be expected to speak out when other child stars reveal allegations of sexual abuse, with today’s moderator Joy Behar kicking off the debate by asking, “Do you think that it’s fair to bully these other people into speaking out, because that’s what’s going on [with Nickelodeon] right now.”
The Hot Topic segment was raised after this week’s incident in which fans of Drake Bell criticized his former Drake & Josh co-star Josh Peck for seeming to stay quiet after Bell revealed in a TV documentary that he had been sexually assaulted at 15 by a dialogue coach.
Both Bell and Peck subsequently stated that Peck had in fact reached out directly and privately to Bell. Peck then posted an Instagram message supporting his co-star.

Both Bell and Peck subsequently stated that Peck had in fact reached out directly and privately to Bell. Peck then posted an Instagram message supporting his co-star.

On Tuesday morning, Donald Trump ally and former White House aide Peter Navarro reported to prison in Miami to serve a four-month prison sentence.
The move came just hours after Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts denied his appeal of the sentence.
Navarro is the first senior aide to Trump to serve time in association with the plot to overturn the 2020 election.
“I’m pissed. That’s what I’m feeling right now,” Navarro told reporters before entering prison. “But I’m also afraid of only one thing: I’m afraid for this country because this, what they’re doing, should have a chilling effect on every American regardless of their party. They come for me, they can come for you.”
In September 2023, a jury found Navarro guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress.

Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro reported to prison Tuesday afternoon to serve a four-month federal sentence after being convicted on charges of contempt of Congress in January.
Ahead of his surrender, Navarro, who served as Director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy under Trump, held a press conference in Miami before turning himself in. He spoke of his incarceration in historical terms, invoking George Washington before heading to the slammer.

“True Detective: Night Country” had all the ingredients necessary to rope in viewers. It was the first new season of HBO’s Emmy-winning crime anthology in five years. It was also the first to feature women as its protagonists. And it marked two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster’s first foray into television in nearly half a century. But what made this latest season truly notable was the breakout and Emmy-worthy performance delivered by Kali Reis — in only her third acting role — as Evangeline Navarro, a determined but haunted Alaskan trooper investigating a mysterious homicide and struggling with her past and her culture.

Peter Navarro, the former White House adviser to Donald Trump, was ordered to report to a federal prison in Miami by March 19.
Back in September 2023, Navarro was found guilty by a jury on two counts of contempt of Congress.
In January, the Justice Department sought a sentence of six months in prison for him after he was convicted of criminal contempt of Congress for ignoring a subpoena from the congressional committee investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. He was scheduled to be sentenced on January 25.
Prosecutors also wanted a $200,000 fine. In a 20-page sentencing memo, Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Aloi stated that prosecutors sought to punish the former White House aide for his bad-faith strategy.
Navarro complained that the legal costs of the case left him bankrupt.

Remember the time when schools were temporarily closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic? This certainly had an effect on educational systems all over the world. A surge in Covid-19 cases in March 2020 resulted in the closure of multiple schools, colleges, and universities. Having said that, a recent episode of ABC’s The View touched on the same topic. Dr. Phil and Whoopi Goldberg had a fiery debate over the Covid shutdown and how it impacted kids’ mental health.
As schools remained closed and children were forced to study at home, the question of whether these measures were truly in the best interests of our youth became a hot-button issue. In an interview that aired on the daytime talk show on Monday, a well-known psychologist and TV personality Dr. Phil made the case that students’ lack of social interaction and school closures have negatively affected their mental health.

True Detective Season 4 director Issa Lopez reassured fans about what happened to Navarro in the season's ending moments on HBO.
At the end of True Detective Season 4, fans saw Kali Reis' Evangeline Navarro walk out into a vast open plot of ice with her house emptied as Jodie Foster's Liz Danvers closed the case centered on the eight murdered research scientists.
She would later tell her superiors that she did not believe they would find Navarro on the ice before viewers saw the two reunite for one final moment. The real mystery now, however, is what fans believe is real about the ending.

After the success of True Detective: Night Country, HBO has renewed the anthology series for season 5. More on the news below.
True Detective: Night Country wrapped its run earlier this week with a shocking, violent finale. The whole season, spearheaded by Issa Lopez, has divided audiences with its new, more supernatural approach to the traditional True Detective style.
Night Country nevertheless became the most watched season of True Detective, which has prompted HBO to renew the series for another season, with Lopez to return as showrunner.
As all previous seasons have focused on completely new characters, we can assume we’ve seen the last of Jodie Fosters’ Liz Danvers and Kali Reis’ trooper Navarro. That being said, Night Country did break almost all previous True Detective rules, so perhaps we’ll still return to Ennis, Alaska for another chilly mystery.

True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto was the mastermind behind the first three seasons of the HBO anthology crime series, but he wasn’t creatively involved in the latest season, True Detective: Night Country, despite retaining an executive producer credit on the show – and he repeatedly let it be known that he wasn’t a fan of how the show was going in his absence. True Detective: Night Country comes to us from Tigers Are Not Afraid filmmaker Issa López, who directed and co-wrote all six episodes of the season, and despite Pizzolatto’s objections, this season was able to draw in enough viewers that it became the most-watched season of the show, with Deadline reporting that it averaged 12.7 million cross-platform viewers, with 3.2 million checking out the season finale on the day of its release. So it’s no surprise to hear that López might be coming back for more True Detective.

It’s Raymond Clark (Owen McDonnell), the heartbroken killer of “True Detective: Night Country,” who gets the famous line from the series (and its beloved first season): “Time is a flat circle.”
He’s talking about a lot of things — most explicitly, the spirit of Annie K. (Nivi Pederson) that he believes lives in the ice caves around them — but he’s also talking about “True Detective” and the very nature of episodic storytelling itself. Stories are told and retold and repackaged and remixed, genres interwoven, resolutions reached.
And “True Detective: Night Country” did a damn good job with all of that.

A whole lot of crime buffs tuned in to see whether Danvers and Navarro would solve the mysterious deaths of those eight naked scientists.
HBO on Monday said the season finale of the anthology’s fourth season attracted 3.2 million cross-platform viewers, marking a Sunday viewing season high for the drama that starred Jodie Foster and Kali Reis.
What’s more, the six episodes that were the brainchild of showrunner/executive producer Issa López now rank as the most-watched season of the anthology series that first kicked off in 2014. The series is so far averaging 12.7 million cross-platform viewers.
HBO says Sunday’s finale performed 55% higher than last season’s finale, while the series as a whole has remained the top title on Max since its Season 4 debut.

It may not be the most highfalutin adjective, but if you wanted to describe the tone of True Detective: Night Country in a single word, you could do a lot worse than "spooky."
Sure, the show's previous seasons trafficked in creepiness as well, but in taking over for creator Nic Pizzolatto, new showrunner Issa Lopez has taken the "graveyard at midnight" vibes to a new level.
With its constant dark, howling winds, frozen corpses, and actual freakin' ghosts, Night Country has often felt more like a horror flick than a police procedural.
So it's fitting that True Detective Season 4 Episode 6 should kick off the finale proceedings by plunging our protagonists into an underground cave where a woman was murdered years earlier.
Navarro literally takes the lead in this stage of the investigation, following a whispering voice that once again has Danvers (and the audience) wondering if she's supernaturally gifted or...

We’ve arrived at the final episode of HBO’s True Detective: Night Country and we’re finally getting answers as to what’s really going on in the town of Ennis, Alaska. More importantly, episode six revealed exactly what happened to the researchers, the whereabouts of Raymond Clark, and who was responsible for Annie Kowtok’s death.
Episode six begins on December 31st, the 14th day of night, with Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) making their way through the ice caves. When Liz hears whispers, Navarro asks, “You feel it too, don’t you?” Navarro thinks she sees something – a body, perhaps – and leads Liz toward it, insisting “it’s here.” Unfortunately, they’re met with blocks of ice.

After introducing Season 1 connections to Night Country‘s Alaskan-set story, True Detective teased possibilities for a crossover, but would the stars return for a second case? Kali Reis who plays Detective Evangeline Navarro says, “Navarro has gone through the ringer, man, leave that woman alone,” with a laugh. “No, I think it was meant to be what it is,” Reis clarifies of the story showrunner Issa Lopez set out to tell. “I mean, you could go off and explore each character. You can explore who they were before all this s**t hit the fan, so to speak. You can explore way back. You can explore [the far] future.

"True Detective: Night Country" has drawn to a close and it turns out there are no Lovecraftian beasts or evil spirits from the beyond to blame for the goings on in Ennis, Alaska. Instead, we learned the Tsalal research station scientists perished at the hands of an enraged mob made up of Ennis' embattled women. Or, rather, as a result of being stripped naked and forced onto the Alaskan tundra by said mob.
Of course, there's a lot more to the "Night Country" finale than that. Far from just being a bunch of peeved-off cleaners, the ladies of Ennis become the physical embodiment of an ancient Inuit legend, awakened by the horrific injustices visited upon her land.

Detectives Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) are the focal points of "True Detective: Night Country" for good reason. To witness a clash between two equally strong personalities is nothing short of riveting, especially when Liz and Naravarro make a solid team, despite their innate differences. The two women have been dealing with their inner demons in markedly different ways so far — while Danvers suppresses her trauma with impulsive, headstrong actions, Navarro suffers in silence and channels her rage into solving the Tsalal/Annie K. case. However, there is a third individual in Ennis who is integral to the investigation and has seldom gotten the credit: Peter Prior (Finn Bennett), and his single-minded dedication to the case needs to be talked about if we are to discuss the complicated web of conspiracies gripping the town.

Warning: We're in the Night Country now. This article contains spoilers for the "True Detective" season 4 finale.
All throughout this latest season of "True Detective," writer/director Issa López has hammered home the point that "Night Country" is meant to be a direct sequel to season 1. Ever since, the show's notoriously conspiracy-hunting fans have been on the hunt for clues and references and Easter eggs, any of which could plausibly give us amateur sleuths the inside scoop on how everything would ultimately wrap up. The Tuttle connection with Tsalal Station, the Travis Cohle namedrop, the recurring spiral motif, and even the finale's "Time is a flat circle" callback have provided endless amounts of ammunition for fan theories and speculation run rampant.
But, just like officers Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) and Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) realized by the end of the episode, maybe we've been asking the wrong questions all along.

"True Detective: Night Country" isn't afraid to wear its influences on its sleeve. Episode 2 saw new showrunner Issa López borrow directly from David Fincher's "Seven," in which a presumed corpse suddenly wakes up with a jolt, making for the biggest jump scare in the director's 1995 crime thriller masterpiece. In "Night Country," this moment is echoed when the frozen body of a scientist awakens while still immersed in the ice, shocking police gathered around the horrific scene.
But Fincher isn't the only director López borrowed from to create "Night Country" and its eerie, haunting atmosphere. In fact, the fourth season of "True Detective" is notable for its wide array of inspirations, which span everything from John Carpenter's horror classic "The Thing" to the movie that established Jodie Foster herself as a true dramatic force, "The Silence of the Lambs.

In the closing minutes of the True Detective: Night Country finale, "Part 6," the sun finally rises over Ennis, Alaska. The residents emerge from polar night forever changed by what they've experienced over the past six episodes.
After solving the mysterious deaths of the Tsalal researchers and Indigenous activist Annie Kowtok (Nivi Pedersen), Police Chief Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) comes to see her police work in a new light, while her former partner Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) takes a step back (and possibly disappears altogether) to focus on herself. While questions remain about Navarro's whereabouts and the fallout from the closure of the Silver Sky Mine, a sense of calm has washed over Ennis — the direct result of a group of women choosing to tell "a different story, with a different ending" for themselves.

But their ending goes far beyond the solving of Annie’s murder as the women were forced to confront their own traumas to move forward in life. After arriving at the ice caves Otis Heiss (Klaus Tange) pointed out on a map to Danvers in Episode 5, she and Navarro descended into the narrow channels below the surface in search of Annie’s murder site. Falling through some thin ice even further below ground, they come face-to-face with elusive scientist Raymond Clark (Owen McDonnell) and chase him into an underground lab that happens to be located beneath Tsalal Research Station. It’s here that Danvers and Navarro recognize the location as the site of Annie’s murder, ...

True Detective: Night Country winked and nodded to the HBO crime anthology’s original iteration all season long. But perhaps never more overtly than in the finale, which conjured up the franchise’s most indelible phrase: “Time is a flat circle.”
In the sprawling episode, viewers finally learn the answers to some of the biggest mysteries littered throughout Night Country, including this big one: What question should we have been asking all along? Turns out, it’s not “Who or what killed these men?” But instead: “Who knows who killed Annie K?”
By the end of the finale, it’s revealed the two cases are completely linked: The scientists killed Annie in an act straight out of Lord of the Flies, and Annie’s community — many of them women who worked at the research station — rose up and killed the scientists in kind.

True Detective: Night Country winked and nodded to the HBO crime anthology’s original iteration all season long. But perhaps never more overtly than in the finale, which conjured up the franchise’s most indelible phrase: “Time is a flat circle.”

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers from “Part 6,” the season finale of HBO’s “True Detective: Night Country,” now streaming on Max.
After flirting with the supernatural all season, the finale of “True Detective: Night Country” revealed that the show’s killers were very much real human beings.
And the two women at the center of creator Issa López’s story — the true detectives Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) — not only solve the mystery of what happened in their town of Ennis, Alaska, but each arrive at a place of personal peace.After the individual torments that plagued them throughout the six-episode series, Navarro and Danvers find, according to López, a “love, the non-romantic love” that heals both of them, and resets them so they can go on — even if Navarro’s fate is somewhat nebulous.

Note: The following story discusses spoilers for the “True Detective: Night Country” finale.
“True Detective: Night Country” wrapped up plenty of loose ends with its finale on Sunday, but unlike its preceding seasons, the Alaska-set mystery didn’t culminate with a clear-cut ending that answered all the mystery’s questions, nor with the perpetrator of the inciting violence going to jail.
While the finale built on the season’s intensity with a dramatic foot chase and fight, creator and showrunner Issa López opted for a more subtle conclusion that gave detectives Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) enough satisfaction to “walk away quietly.”
“I grew up reading Sherlock Holmes, which is part of why I’m doing this job now, and the best stories of Sherlock Holmes, the ones I love the most, are the ones where he finds the killer, and decides to simply walk away quietly,...

Deadline So did Navarro become a ghost in the finale after she walked out on the ice?
