Outer Range - Prime show

[j_garcia]

Trailer was interesting so I gave it a watch. Good cast, including Josh Brolin. Pretty interesting so far, with a bit of a Close Encounters and a little Twin Peaks vibe. Basically there is a hole on a cattle ranch that can't be explained and others somehow sense it and are drawn to it. At the time of writing there were only 4 episodes. Sci-fi Western doesn't always work, but this one seems pretty good so far.

Been following this one, up to date on episodes. So far a bit weird but I like it.

 

[Hetfield]

I've been meaning to watch this series. Josh Brolin is way underrated. This looks really good.

I'm up to date on this as well and am enjoying it as well . This is not the first time I've seen a Sci-Fi and Western mix. West World and Cowboy's vs Aliens spring to mind and West World was really awesome.

I’m all caught up with this show as well. Basically “Yellowstone” meets “Fringe“, but not as good as either one of those 2 series IMO.

 

[Pogre]

Sounds like it might have kind of a Stephen King Tommyknockers vibe to it, huh?

Been watching it lately...
Probably finishing the last episode tonight.
Interesting.
Weird.
There is a very strange David Lynch vibe to some of it... Dunno if that was intentional or just somehow the producers/director just trying to be "different."

Not a bad show, though I do find the Yellowstone parallels to be quite silly in a WTF kind of way.

I don't really feel this has any staying power and hope they choose wisely to wrap it up in a timely manner... As in with S2...

...if they even pick S2 up... which it seems they have yet to do.

 

[j_garcia]

I think S2 was confirmed, but unless they introduce something big, I don't really see a lot of staying power either.

I see the schedule of 2nd season on few sites https://whenamzn.com/outer-range but looks like the filming process not started yet. I am disappointed.

More or less all fall shows can be expected to be delayed due to the writers strike, will be a meager season. That strike is still ongoing.

Wow, first time hear about this

The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has indeed authorized a strike, primarily due to concerns over artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential misuse in the industry. This action follows a series of negotiations with major video game companies, including Activision, Disney, and Electronic Arts, which failed to provide clear protections against AI's impact on job security. The strike, which began on July 26, 2024, aims to secure fair compensation and informed consent for the use of actors' voices, faces, and bodies in AI applications

Uh, newsflash: that strike ENDED in 2023.
