19. True Detective: Night Country
It's been an agonising five-year wait for a new season of True Detective, but the fourth volume of the crime anthology series sure looks like a doozy.
Headlined by the inimitable Jodie Foster in the role of Detective Liz Danvers, Night Country sees the Silence of the Lambs actor investigating the disappearance of eight men from a research station in the town of Ennis, Alaska. Spooky.
Though this is the first season without any major involvement from True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto, given the pedigree of series director Issa Lopez (Tigers Are Not Afraid) and a supporting cast including John Hawkes, Christopher Eccleston, and Fiona Shaw, it's tough to be much worried.
The scenery change is certainly a welcome one, and could help the show restore some of the shine that it's been lacking ever since its first season blew just about everybody away.
True Detective: Night Country premieres on January 14.
