which one is correct ?
That’s right! There certainly are parallels between season 4’s script and the 2016 primary campaign. Are you sure you want me to go into detail? It might spoil it for you?
I would like to know if I could use " go into details" here instead of "go into detail " ,one of my American teacher said no but I do heard a sentence " I'm sorry ,I can't go into details on that " in House of Cards ( Season 4 ,Episode 13, 23:56) ,would you please tell me which one is correct or most commonly used ? Thank you so much.

you are correct when you write "Are you sure you want me to go into detail?"
You cannot go into details about something. Detail in this case says there will more than one detail.
But:
You could also write,
1. Do you want me to go into the details of that? It might spoil it for you.
2. Do you want to to describe the details of that? It might spoil it for you.

I think the correct form is detail

The correct way is "go into detail," or you could also say "get into the details." Also, the last sentence, "it might spoil it for you" should not have a question mark because it's a statement, not a question.

I would use "go into detail" for this. I'm not actually sure on the rule behind this but it sounds better to me here.

my teacher said it was wrong to use "details" in this sentence.(go into detail) but he didn't say why.
