It is a realistic, down-to-earth police procedural that’s swarming with supernatural beings and lots of storytelling bric-a-brac.
One of the great strengths of “Night Country” — and the three Nic Pizzolatto seasons of “True Detective” before it — is how beautifully it can conjure these modern noir images from distinct locales.
And yet, so little narrative real estate was given over to Julia until this final episode that her death feels more like a device than an emotional payoff.
In a pre-credits scene, we witness Danvers’s compassion in scooping her off the streets and bringing into the station, which brings her closer to Navarro.
As for Navarro herself, the heaviness of this loss is a family curse that now threatens to swallow her, too.
