"Night Sky" (S01, 8-eps, 52+ min, Amzn) is a slow-paced, slow-burn mystery ala "Lost". You'll find several plot elements pulled right from that series, including subterranean chambers that are portals to "elsewhere".

You'll find several plot elements pulled right from that series, including subterranean chambers that are portals to "elsewhere". Our primary protag is a couple in their 80s so that contributes to a lot of the series' slow/boring pace. However, there's a decent sci-fi angle to this that leads to an unsatisfying reveal in the finale. There's plenty of character backstory material to keep this going for several seasons but I'm not thrilled at that prospect, because it'll just be more of them stretching 3 episodes of material - a movie, really - into 8 and I don't like watching shows with my finger on the FF button all the time. And given Amzn's history, we'd have to wait another year or two for the sophomore season, if that even happens. Expand

Sissy Spacek and J. K. Simmons star as a couple who have a secret chamber in their back yard that's a portal to another planet. It looks cool from their brief visit, but then they go about their lives, visiting doctors and elderly friends. WeSissy Spacek and J. K. Simmons star as a couple who have a secret chamber in their back yard that's a portal to another planet. It looks cool from their brief visit, but then they go about their lives, visiting doctors and elderly friends. We have to assume that the sci-fi element develops in further eps, but the mundane, slow pace makes is hard to keep going. On the positive, both actors are captivating as always.

If you can bear watching the first episode then right away skip to the last one. That's exactly what I did and I didn't feel I missed anything. What nonsense could they have filled from episode 2 to 7 I really don't know. Definitely lackingIf you can bear watching the first episode then right away skip to the last one.

Definitely lacking any intrigue you might expect and slower then molasses. Expand

The problem with a slow burn show is that it can be too slow and get cancelled, and then its not worth watching.
