True Detective: Night Country' star Kali Reis called out season 1-3 creator Nic Pizzolatto for sharing a bunch of negative reviews of the fourth season's finale on his Instagram stories.

The finale for season 4 of True Detective was met with all kinds of reviews, from Rolling Stone calling it the series' "best finale ever" to some on social media expressing they wanted a little more out of the sixth episode.

One person reveling in those negative reviews was seasons 1-3 creator Nic Pizzolatto, who took to social media to share negative comments about the latest season.


True Detective: Night Country, which stars Jodie Foster and Kali Reis, was written by Issa Lopez, who replaced Pizzolatto.

Apparently this didn't sit too well with the former showrunner, as he was quick to screenshot and repost multiple bleak reviews of the season's finale to his Instagram stories.

The reviews Pizzolatto shared referred to the finale a "massive downgrade" and a "week conclusion" to a "hot mess of faux characters."

One even "sent love" to Pizzolatto after allegedly witnessing the "sloppiest writing I've ever watched."

Many fans of the show were quick to call out the former show writer.

And one of the stars of the show took to social media to put him in his place.

Reis, who played Trooper Evangeline Navarro, tweeted:

“That’s a damn shame…but hey I guess ‘if you don’t have anything good to share, sh*t on others’ is the new wave.”

The twitterverse applauded Reis for calling out Pizzolatto's pettiness.






Several said the season 4 finale, which had the highest viewership of all True Detective season finales, was wonderfully written and executed.



Lopez, of course, is no stranger to Pizzolatto's criticism.

She told Vulture just last month:

“I believe that every storyteller has a very specific, peculiar, and unique relation to the stories they create, and whatever his reactions are, he’s entitled to them. That’s his prerogative."
“I wrote this with profound love for the work he made and love for the people that loved it. And it is a reinvention, and it is different, and it’s done with the idea of sitting down around the fire, and [let’s] have some fun and have some feelings and have some thoughts."
"And anybody that wants to join is welcome.”

Fox News Blasted After Covering Eyeroll-Worthy News Item Instead Of Stock Market Plummet

Fox News—which unironically once used the slogan "Fair and Balanced" to describe their network—is rarely accused of sharing accurate, unvarnished truth.

Their own defense in a lawsuit over former host Tucker Carlson's on-air lies was to claim any reasonable person would know Carlson lied all the time—throwing a bit of shade at their own audience that didn't seem to draw that conclusion.

Trump Dragged After Imposing Steep Tariffs On Two Uninhabited Islands Near Antarctica

Donald Trump invited widespread mockery after imposing tariffs not just on some of America's biggest trading partners—but on uninhabited islands as well, namely the Heard and McDonald Islands, which had 10% tariffs levied against them despite having no actual human populations to speak of.

Trump, in his tariff announcement on Wednesday, declared April 2 as the day American industry "will be reborn," heralding what he called a "golden age of America." He emphasized that the new tariffs would not only counter foreign tariffs but also address what he described as "nonmonetary" trade barriers, including currency manipulation and "pollution havens."
