Breathe a sigh of relief, fellow detectives:True Detective Night Countrydelivered a damn good season finale. Somehow, showrunner Issa López tied a bloodstained bow on all of the plot threads that plagued us this season. But she still left a few gnawing questions. What happened to Navarro? Is Rust Cohle's undead daddy trolling around Ennis? Who was in Liz Danvers' fantasy football lineup?! Here at Esquire, we're always trying to dig up answers. So we asked ourselves: What would Liz Danvers do? Well, she would ask an expert the right questions. Who better to explain the mental effects of endless nights than a licensed Alaskan psychologist? Kevin Tarlow, Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Alaska Anchorage, helped us piece together some of the more unfathomable parts ofNight Country. |

Thus did Rep. Jim Jordan conclude his brief meeting with the Capitol Hill press corps on Thursday, two days after his entire reason for political living blew up on him. The indictment of Alexander Smirnov, and the subsequent revelations of Smirnov's connections with Russian intelligence, as well as Smirnov's confession that he'd made up the entire basis for the Burisma non-scandal, has made Jordan and many other people look like suckers or worse. Nevertheless, Jordan's got his story and he's sticking to it. |

I rise to a point of privilege. On Thursday night, we bade farewell to a good and faithful public servant, a man dedicated to the rule of law, and unafraid to take on its strongest enemies, including brutal cops, crooked prosecutors, the Russian mob, suburban militias, gun manufacturers, thugs from the Pinochet regime, and the architects of the country's post 9/11 torture program, never taking a step back. Farewell, Manhattan District Attorney Jack McCoy. Sam Waterston has played the iconic New York prosecutor on NBC'sLaw and Ordersince 1994, breaking only when the show went off the air in 2010, eventually being bumped up into the DA's job over its last several seasons. |
