[Editor’s Note: The following article contains light spoilers for “True Detective” Season 4.]
The “corpsicle,” as it’s been dubbed since “Night Country” author Issa López first wrote the scene, is a shocking sight to behold. Twisted naked bodies, frozen in ice, have been carved from their original resting place and plopped at the center of a hockey rink to thaw. How did they die? Why are they naked? Who — or what — did this to them? As the ice melts, secrets spill out and the dead’s last moments gain gruesome clarity. Frostbite blackens their extremities. Teeth marks cover their skin. One is bleeding from the ears. Another is missing the fingers he’d used to claw out his own eyes.
Despite its vividly unique rendering, the corpsicle is still strangely familiar. Here are these dead naked men, ornately displayed by natural elements, unable to shield themselves from the discerning eyes of the detectives investigating their demise. You can’t help but stare,...

Capping today’s TV adaption trend at TCA the day’s last panel centered on another adaptation: USA Network’s Briarpatch, a 10-episode anthology series adapted from the Ross Thomas novel by the same name.
The series, which premieres February 6, is set in a fictional Texas border town and follows Allegra Dill (Rosario Dawson) as she returns to her hometown to search for her sister’s killer.
Dawson appeared on today’s panel with cast members Jay R. Ferguson and Kim Dickens, as well as Ep/showrunner Andy Greenwald, a former TV critic. Greenwald said he wanted to blend humor and suspense to create a “hot noir,” or a “classic story heated up for a new era.”
In the book, the lead character is a man, and while recasting Dill as a woman breaks stereotypes, the panel was...

Nancy Drew Episode 5
Given how many dead people keep turning up in Horsehoe Bay, you’d think its citizens might be a little more prepared in general to deal with things like ghostly possessions and/or angry spirits. Alas, that is most definitely not the case on this week’s episode of Nancy Drew, as a dead woman not only manages to possess George, but parade around a fancy charity gala virtually unimpeded.
Get it together, town. At least put some salt out at these things. (We’ve all seen Supernatural. We know what to do.)
“The Case of the Wayward Sprit” is definitely much weirder than the episodes that have come before it. It structures itself around...
