The season’s fifth episode last week garnered a total of 5 million viewers after it debuted in a special slot prior to Super Bowl LVIII, according to the outlet.

The ratings for the show’s fourth broadcast that aired February 4 were not released by Warner Bros. Discovery, the outlet reported.

In the totality of its run, True Detective: Night Country garnered an average of 12.7 million viewers opposite all platforms. The numbers were boosted by Night Country’s production following the launch of Max, according to the outlet.

The numbers released reflect Nielsen metrics and info from Warner Bros. Discovery, beginning with the initial night of availability for each show.

The show’s creator Issa López on Sunday told Variety about efforts she took to balance out negative reviews (from fans of the show’s first season) when the latest installment of the series debuted.

‘To tell you the truth, at the very beginning it was a little discouraging to see a negative reaction,’ López said. ‘There’s people that don’t like the series – that’s OK!

‘There’s people that I trust their opinion, that don’t like things that are sacred to me. But it was discouraging to see that at least a certain amount of those came from – well, automatic reactions, let’s call them.

López said she ‘felt that people that feel positive to it should also speak up,’ and that she came to understand ‘that it was useless to think about those reactions, because those are not going to be changed.’

She said that ‘the truth of the matter is the series has been massively and beautifully embraced by people that were both familiar with the original series, and people that were not familiar with the original series,’ as proven ‘by the reviews’ and ‘by the ratings.’

López said of her work on the show, ‘I love the series so much. I love making it so much. I love the actors, and we had so much fun.’

She said her favorite characters were Danvers and Navarro and the chemistry they displayed: ‘I just love how funny they are and how poignant and honest they become at the end.’
