True Detective: Night Country | Episode 01 Recap

Lace your snow boots up nice and tight, snuggle into that down parka and scrunch your hat on good and proper because Lisa and Dean are leading you into their recap of the first episode of the much awaited fourth season of True Detective. After three series by Nic Pizzolatto, new Showrunner Issa Lopez has some big boots to fill ... can she do it? What sensibilities will her esoteric Guillermo del Toro-esque magical realism and horror bring to the table and will it resonate with viewers like Season One ... or puzzle and frustrate as Series Two and Three did for some viewers ? Season One famously had Rust and Marty as the primary investigators, Seasons Two and Three were mixed. Here in Season Four we have two very strong female leads in Jodie Foster and the astounding Kali Reis. What will they make of it ? A fist ? Or a dog's breakfast ? So many questions ! Listen in for the answers.

ZODIAC E IL MOSTRO DI FIRENZE: LA TEORIA DELL' ACQUA Lucky Red Sono trascorsi più di vent'anni dalla sentenza che ha condannato "i compagni di merende" per i delitti del Mostro di Firenze, eppure sono tanti a credere che si tratti di un clamoroso errore. Tra loro c'è il giornalista Francesco Amicone. Lui la verità è convinto di averla trovata: dietro il “maniaco delle coppiette” si nasconderebbe uno degli assassini più ricercati degli Stati Uniti: il killer dello Zodiaco. Explicit Chinook Realm Religion and crime collide when a gruesome murder rocks the isolated community of Chinook, Montana. Local Deputy Ruth Vogel thought she was answering a routine animal control call, only to find a mangled corpse on the frozen embankment. Her small town is whipped into a frenzy and everyone is quick to point their fingers at a drug-addicted teenager, but Ruth suspects connections to a powerful religious group. Enter Agent Loro, an enigmatic FBI investigator tracking an evangelical cult that may have roots right here in Chinook. Loro and Ruth form a cautious partnership to find the killer—but as the mystery winds through Ruth’s life, her family, and her church, she’ll discover something more sinister than murder is afoot.Binge all episodes of Chinook exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
