I only heard that there was a season 4 when it was named among Oscar nominations or something. “Night Country” has a crew almost entirely made of women. The main characters, the directors, the title song, etc.
We have a great Jody Foster as grumpy police officer who was transferred to the (fictional) town Ennis so far North in Alaska that the sun does not rise during the winter months. The rough climate and small community makes that everybody knows everything of everyone (or do they?), even when the ‘new Americans’ and Iñupiat (‘Alaskan Inuit’) have to live together.
As you will have guessed, just as in the previous seasons, “Night Country” is slow, dark, gritty and the case is extreme. The main characters have their problems and have had their problems in the past.
Danvers (Foster) is a demanding chief of police with a foul tongue and unorthodox methods. In a case surrounding the disappearance of the men working at the Tsalal Research Station, things seem to oddly align with an early case, the murder of a young Iñupiat woman, a sister of Evangeline Navarro a native who is now Trooper.
In an interestingly developing story, the cases are investigated, characters develop and Iñupiat stories are mixed with the cold, hard facts of the investigation. The little town also inhabits some odd characters.
A good series, but not of the level of the original.
