Outer Range

Anyone watching the new Josh Brolin show Outer Range on Amazon Prime?

It feels like Yellowstone meets Stranger Things. First two episodes are out and I was pretty intrigued by it, although I feel like I need to rewatch a few scenes.

We plan to but have not seen it yet.

It isn't moving particularly fast. The first two episodes covered about a pilot's worth of ground-laying. If they're going at that pace, there needs to be more than eight episodes. The production costs can't be that great. I'm also not a fan of things being out of focus so much of the time.

I watched episode 1 today, and it's going to take a couple more I think, before I decide whether to stick with it or not.

I agree - I also hope it is not filmed so dark all the time.

Plan to try it when all episodes are available.

Friend suggested last week to check out Slow Horses on Apple, 'Only four episodes'. Found out the hard way only four episodes SO FAR.

Not yet, will wait to binge most likely, that's how we usually roll.

The counterpart to being out of focus. Even many of the landscape shots appear to have faked depth of field.

Which was intentional.

Outer Range: Season 1 Review - IGN

Outer Range attempts to weave a contemporary western with a metaphysical thriller with mixed results.

The darkness did bother me.

I have a former student who was a production assistant and a background actor in it. She keeps saying keep watching.

 

[rockymtnhigh]

I finished outer range, but feel I need to rewatch it, not sure it all made a lot of sense.

Watched the first two episodes last night. Weird. Really scratching my head after the end of episode 2. Continue tonight.

The head scratching will continue.

This show was just plain weird. I suppose if they make another season I will watch to see where it goes but not exactly looking forward to it.

I started bingeing Night Sky last week, though I heard some complaints that it was slow. It roughly has a similar premise as Outer Range (mysterious secret portal-type thingy on someone's property). It's so much better than Outer Range. Once you get past the first couple of episodes (which are a bit slow but engaging thanks to great acting), it really picks up. And Sissy Spacek is so good in this.

I agree with you on both. I got fed up with Outer Range and quit watching after 5 or 6 episodes. Maybe it gets better as well.

Not really. The ending of Outer Range raises more questions than resolves, adding to the frustration. Just not enough payoff IMO.

This show is too slow for my taste and make you fall asleep....

If the scenery weren't consistently blurred, it might make for a passable screen saver.

I think I have given up? Seams like something always looks more interesting...Think Im 3 1/2 episodes in?....And Barry season 3 was a dud
