Jodie Foster and Kali Reis in Alaska in True Detective: Night Country. Juno Temple, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Richa Moorjani in Minnesota in the recent fifth season of Fargo. Emma Corrin and Brit Marling in Iceland in A Murder at the End of the World.
There’s something going on with all these TV mysteries set in the frozen, frigid North with all these neo-noiry North Country female leads.
This hour, a Nose-ish look at what Colin’s taken to calling the current “hard-boiled women in cold climates” phenomenon.

- Shawn Murray: A stand-up comedian, writer, and the host of the Nobody Asked Shawn podcast
