After nearly five years, True Detective is returning to the small screen with its fourth season, this time set in Alaska and starring Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster and up-and-comer Kali Reis. While it hasn’t premiered yet, the first reviews are promising.

Since the acclaimed first installment of the series, starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, ‘True Detective’ has struggled to reach the same level of success. However, it seems like Foster and company have done it, judging for the 100% on Rotten Tomatoes with 17 reviews so far.
