If time is a river, the “Outer Range” waters are still cold and challenging, but the various branches of the stream and the unpredictable manner in which things flow are always deep and absorbing stuff worthy of your attention.
-
“Outer Range” emphasized drama over sci-fi in Season 1, but Season 2, all of which is available now, cranks up both the time-travel-portal aspect and the outrageous soapiness. The hole is less a profound mystery and more an incredibly handy mechanism for creating bananas telenovela moments. .... But oh, what fun. What menace. What a total bonanza. “Outer Range” has so much to give, even if some of that is time-loop baloney.
-
The revelations that came after "Outer Range" had made its "Yellowstone"-on-'shrooms debut were outrageously farfetched and fanciful. But one returns to season 2 eager to see where it can all go, which is well beyond what one is likely to expect.
-
The bigger leaps that Outer Range takes and the more expansive story it tells are only part of what makes this second season even better than the already solid first. Sometimes, the best television is just about a bearded Josh Brolin on horseback looking into a black hole that has upended his character’s life and everyone in his orbit.
-
Each of the seven episodes speed by, but the final one let me hoping that Prime renews this one pronto to tie up its many threads.
-
Season 2 takes a few missed steps toward the confounding, but commits deeper to the show's own weirdness, which is appreciated.
