You can glimpse life and interesting stories in a variety of environments.

True Detective: Night Country
Each season of the HBO detective series True Detective takes viewers to a new location with new characters and a new murder mystery. The show’s fourth season is Night Country and takes place in a fictional Alaska town called Ennis–which is loosely based on the real-life North Slope Borough. The town is located 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle and sees no sunlight for several days, which is when the show’s narrative occurs. It stars Jodie Foster and Kali Reis as the detectives.
