Time Is a Flat Circle After All


True Detective: Night Country’s parallels to season one are more than just simple callbacks.

Night Country has resurrected the familiar to highlight history’s tendency to repeat itself, also a running theme in season one, and to emphasize the differences between telling a story focused on women versus men. But they must do this anonymously, to protect themselves as well as the cleaning women and other blue-collar workers who may (or may not) have killed the scientists as punishment for the murder of Annie K. While Rust and Marty may be deemed heroes in their world, it is much more complicated for Navarro and Danvers to take credit for solving these two controversial cases. While talking to the interrogators on May 12, Liz leaves out all kinds of important details about what happened to Hank Prior and Navarro that will remain invisible from the broader narrative about what transpired during those two dark weeks in December of 2023.
