“True Detective: Night Country” creator Issa López brushed off criticism from O.G. “True Detective” creator Nic Pizzolatto, who wrote on social media that viewers “can’t blame” him for their dissatisfaction with the latest installment of the HBO crime drama.

“I believe that every storyteller has a very specific, peculiar and unique relation to the stories they create, and whatever his reactions are, he’s entitled to them. That’s his prerogative,” López said in an interview with Vulture. “I wrote this with profound love for the work he made and love for the people that loved it.”

López, who served as writer, showrunner and director for all six episodes of “Night Country” while Pizzolatto took a step back, added that the latest installment was a “reinvention,” admitting it was “different” from its predecessors.
