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.”

Kansas Hit With One Of The Largest Tuberculosis Outbreaks In History—And Trump Is Making It Worse

Kansas is currently facing one of the largest tuberculosis (TB) outbreaks in history but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been unable to alert the public to the extent that it could, due to former President Donald Trump's "pause" on health agency communications.

TB is a bacterial infection primarily affecting the lungs, with active cases causing symptoms such as chest pain, coughing up blood, weight loss, and chills. When left untreated, it can be fatal. TB is contagious only when symptoms are present, but people with latent TB, who do not exhibit symptoms, cannot spread the infection.
