CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews last night's TV: Horror, feuds and the endless night cast a bewitching spell


CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Silence Of The Lambs star Jodie Foster agreed to star as police chief, in the crime serial True Detective: Night Country (Sky Atlantic), on one condition.

Whether she's jailing her own foster daughter for getting beaten up at a protest march, forcing her team to work overtime on Christmas Eve or bullying colleagues into having one-night stands, she is shockingly unlikeable. This penultimate episode ended on a cliffhanger, with Danvers and her sidekick Evangeline Navarro (former world champion boxer Kali Reis) driving through a snowstorm to hack their way into the ice tunnels. Once the pace slowed, the combination of horror, police politics, family feuds and the bone-chilling atmosphere of Alaska's endless night began to exert a bewitching spell — like the eerie theme tune by Billie Eilish.
