Keep reading to learn more.

HBO Max

Unbelievable but true, it took a year for HBO Max to top this section with all the laws without doing it by dropping it or because they released a movie that was already in theaters a long time ago. The old “house of series”, HBO, has done it with award winners The last of us in January 2023…

True Detective: Arctic Night

…and now he’s doing it again with True Detective: Arctic Night, the fourth iteration of his equally award-winning crime anthology. Yes from HBO, although you can also find this premiere on Movistar+.

Indeed, True Detective: Arctic Night It’s the fourth season of the series, and while we generally don’t highlight anything that isn’t brand new, it’s worth repeating that in this case we’re talking about an anthology, so even if you haven’t seen the series, you can start with this new season. Of course, if you’ve seen something before, you might be wondering, is it that good? But the answer is… who knows?

True detective With its debut, it became one of the most acclaimed HBO series in recent years. So it was no surprise that they tried again with a second story with a different cast that didn’t quite live up to expectations. The third, again renewed in form, but not against the background of the detective drama typical of the production, was better received, but it too did not reach its initial brilliance.

And this fourth one? The truth is that it has only just begun, but it has started on the right foot: from the setting, the frozen Alaska, to the couple of main heroes, in charge of the veteran Jodie Foster and newcomer Kali Reis, a very tough woman – in fiction and in real life everything promises . Not that the previous ones didn’t also have a powerful cast (Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Mahershala Ali, Stephen Dorff…), but… One chapter a week, every Monday.
