The season’s fifth episode last week garnered a total of 5 million viewers after debuting in a special slot before Super Bowl LVIII, according to the outlet.

Warner Bros. Discovery did not release ratings for the show’s fourth broadcast, which aired on Feb. 4, the outlet reported.

Throughout its run, True Detective: Night Country garnered an average of 12.7 million viewers across all platforms. The numbers were boosted by Night Country’s production following the release of Max, according to the outlet.

Published numbers reflect Nielsen metrics and Warner Bros. Discovery data, beginning with each show’s initial night of availability.

The show’s creator, Issa López, said Sunday Variety about the efforts he made to balance negative reviews (from fans of the show’s first season) when the latest installment of the series debuted.

“To tell you the truth, it was a little discouraging at first to see a negative reaction,” Lopez said. ‘There are people who don’t like the series, that’s okay!

‘There are people whose opinion I trust, who don’t like things that are sacred to me. But it was disheartening to see that at least a certain amount of them came from… well, knee-jerk reactions, let’s call them.

López said that ‘he felt that people who feel positive should also speak’ and that he came to understand ‘that it was useless to think about those reactions, because those are not going to change.’

He said that “the truth of the matter is that the series has been received massively and beautifully by people who were familiar with the original series and by people who were not familiar with the original series”, as evidenced by “the reviews” and “by the ratings.’

Lopez said of her work on the show: ‘I love the series. I love doing it so much. I love the actors and we have a lot of fun.”

He said his favorite characters were Danvers and Navarro and the chemistry they showed: “I love how funny they are and how touching and honest they become at the end.”
