True Detective creator tackles season 4: “It’s not my fault!”

Left out of his show, Nic Pizzolatto would not really be a fan of the new version signed Issa López.

After an acclaimed first season, a largely unsuccessful season 2 and a season 3 that went unnoticed, Nick Pizzolatto was removed from his True Detective. HBO asked him to hand over and the creator saw Issa Lopez, Mexican filmmaker, take back her baby. She wrote and directed the six episodes of season 4 currently underway.

Even if he is credited as producer – because original creator – Nick Pizzolatto did not contribute at all to Night Country and he clearly wouldn’t be a fan of the direction the series is taking. On social media, he responded to some comments from angry fans. Messages – since deleted – which said in particular that the connections made between season 4 and season 1 are “totally stupid“. And to another fan, he insists: “I certainly had no say in this story or anything else for that matter. No one can blame me.“Implied, no one can blame me for this failure!

Scathing comments that were probably expected Issa Lopez. And in Vulture, she responds to these attacks with calm and respect for the original creator:

“I believe that every narrator has a very specific, particular and unique relationship with the stories they create. Whatever their reaction, they are entitled to it. It’s their way of seeing things. I wrote this with a deep love for the work he did and for the people who loved it True Detective. My season is a reinvention, and it’s different, and it’s done with the idea of ​​sitting around the fire to have fun, to discuss, to be moved, to think. And anyone who wants to join us is welcome.”
