True Detective Night Country was a massive success with not-so-great reviews. Led by Kali Reis, the first Indigenous lead of an HBO series, Hollywood legend Jodie Foster, and Issa Lopez, the Mexican Filmmaker who created, wrote, and directed this powerful supernatural thriller, this season had us - and a record-breaking 3.2 million viewers - on the edge of our seats for the season finale.

So then why are people being such haters?

Kali ‘Meuquinonoag’ Reis is an Afro-Indigenous storyteller that is raising the visibility of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women (MMIW) through her portrayal of Alaskan Native trooper Evangeline Navarro and her own intersectional visibility and activism. She also happens to be the first Indigenous Boxing World Champion. Weaving a story that explores conversations with ancestors beyond the veil, environmental justice, and what Liz Danvers represents to us, this show gave us a lot to talk about.

Join Shannon and Tashmica as they discuss how American viewers didn't get the answers they wanted from HBO Max's True Detective Night Country, but they definitely got the answers they deserved.

Come for the pop culture. Stay for the abolition.

Content Warning: The Popaganda Podcast explores the intersections of transformative justice, prison abolition, and pop culture. We will be talking in general about the existence of domestic violence, sexual violence, and state violence and our experiences with these forms of violence throughout the season. In this episode in particular, we will be talking about these themes and our own survivorship. We will not be talking in high levels of detail about specific experiences of violence. We invite everyone to use this information to make choices about what is right for you.
