Murder mystery shows will always have viewers inspecting the tiniest background details for asnwers, and True Detective: Night Country is no different. Yet in episode 2, certain audience members fixated less on mysterious spirals and gruesome corpsicles, and more on strange looking posters on a character’s wall.
The posters pop up in a scene where trooper Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) talks to miner Chuck (Edward Fletcher) about a possible connection to the case of the dead Tsalal scientists.
The walls of his room at the Silver Sky mines are bare apart from two posters: one for the K-Pop group Ive, and the other for a band simply named “Metal.” The latter özgü an uncanny quality to it as if someone drew a poster for a Kiss tour from memory. Other details, like a date announcing a live performance on the “2st,” made people wonder whether the poster had been made using Artificial Intelligence.

López clarified that the choice was intentional and linked to the show’s remote setting of Ennis, Alaska. The fictional town is located 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle. With so little to do there, could residents turn to fiddling around with AI?
