The first season of Outer Range showed up in April 2022. At first, Outer Range seemed concerned about the Abbotts, Royal and Cecilia (Josh Brolin and Lili Taylor), ranchers who were fighting encroachment on their land. The Abbott family displayed dysfunction early on. But the clincher was the massive spooky hole in their west pasture. We learned the hole was a portal, but a portal to what, to where, and to whom was unclear.
This second season of 7 episodes begins with the search for Abbott granddaughter Amy (Olive Abercrombie).The Abbotts, while searching, are also about to lose their ranch because son Perry (Tom Pelphrey) has jumped the bail posted with his parents’ mortgage, after having been charged in the death of one of the rival Tillersons. Josh Brolin set the tone in the stabilizing role that Royal provides. Lewis Pullman portrays one of my favorite characters, Rhett Abbott.
The black hole looms large. If you’re in the mood for an unconventional Western with Sci-Fi aspects, give Outer Range a try. GRADE: Incomplete but trending towards a B+
I’m just finishing up season 2. Great fun. I think the second season is better than the first. I also like Dark Matters so far. They are only 3 episodes in. It has a very good performance from Joel edgerton.
Steve, I hope to watch more of OUTER RANGE, Season Two this weekend. I have DARK MATTERS on my Watch List, but I’m way behind on TV watching.
Another station I don’t get! Guess I’m not ready for the 21st century!
Bob, I’m sure you noticed that many NFL games will be on various streaming services you don’t get.
So far I can get a couple of games a day, including the Seahawks! That’s good enough for me!
Bob, the Buffalo Bills will be visiting the Seahawks on October 27!
Yeah, there was definitely a woo woo element in Season One. I found Imogen Poots extremely annoying as Autumn, but I’ve always liked Lili Taylor. I suppose we’re watch the second series.
Jeff, as Steve says, OUTER RANGE, Season Two is better than the goofiness of Season One. Worth a look.
Just started Season One! You wouldn’t have gotten this cast on TV ten years ago.
Patti, I’m sure the Pandemic affected the casting of OUTER RANGE.
