But even past these, showrunner Issa L\u00f3pez<\/strong> has stocked her chilly saga with references to tradition, historical past, and true crime that each reinforce the themes of Night Country<\/em> and draw a straight line between it and True Detective<\/em>\u2019s wealthy previous, significantly the present\u2019s zeitgeist-grabbing 2014 first season.<\/p>\n Below, you\u2019ll discover a number of the most tantalizing allusions and Easter eggs we might tease out of the season\u2019s first two episodes, titled merely \u201cPart 1\u201d and \u201cPart 2.\u201d We\u2019ll replace the listing as subsequent episodes are launched every Sunday.<\/p>\n Yes, you heard proper: Fiona Shaw<\/strong>\u2019s Rose was actually romantically concerned with Travis Cohle, father of Rust Cohle, who died someday earlier than our story started.
