Night Sky is one that works. It’s a tribute to the synchronicity between the depth of the unsolved mystery and the similar depth of the two principal actors. Read full review

They could have wrapped this story up in half the time, but we’ll keep coming back as long as Irene and Franklin are involved. Read full review

The real cement here is two Oscar-winning actors painting a portrait of aging lovers staring down their eventual demise. There is no greater dilemma or darkness. And “Night Sky,” to its credit, knows and shows this. Read full review

There is a lifetime of history between Irene and Franklin, and the actors make sure we feel every second of it. Most of the time, though, Night Sky is busy being busy — unspooling new plot lines like so much toilet paper and doubling down on chase-thriller drama. Read full review

Night Sky still has its moments. Spacek and Simmons are a true highlight, their relationship feeling lived-in and soulful, and the show is working with some interesting thematic elements, but rather than give those elements room to breathe the show offers up a scattered season of sci-fi drama.

Night Sky, is really three shows in one. ... Spacek and Simmons remain Night Sky’s shining stars. If they could be hived off and the Yorks given their own eight-hour, sci-fi- and conspiracy-free series simply to show us how they navigate the last decade or so of life before it winks out, that would be wonderful.

There’s barely a half-assed effort to “explain” what’s going on, the why and how and to what purpose. Any “tech” digressions are more to tease things out than to drive this towards “answers,” a solution and the ever-elusive conclusion. Read full review

The plot is just so-so, but the acting is top end. A pleasure to watch just for that

It is too bad about this series. It is very slow and confusing and the constant inclusion of stupidity is unproductive and doesn't help the plot along at all. The production is slow and confusing. I think it is the acting of the two leads that saves what little there is to save. I'd pass on this.

I want to like this so much because of the performances. Spacek and Simmons absolutely shine. My first thoughts were that this would be some kind of metaphor for growing old and suffering from dementia (or just plain old age), but that does not appear to be the hook. As one reviewer put itI want to like this so much because of the performances. Spacek and Simmons absolutely shine. My first thoughts were that this would be some kind of metaphor for growing old and suffering from dementia (or just plain old age), but that does not appear to be the hook. As one reviewer put it (Roger Moore; Movie Nation), it's a lot of tease, but no pay-off. Rich characters, to be sure, and well played by the actors, but a very loose plot that leaves you unfulfilled.… Expand
