Look, this is/was a fantastic science fiction series. It had everything. It was original, and different. Without a second season there is no point in even watching the first season.

The discovery of the anomaly, and the character development is a very slow process. By the time the season ends many plots and subplots are revealed. Including new characters. But they are left completely wide open and you really get nothing out of the first season.

I am amazed how garbage zombie series just keep spawning new spin offs. Or garbage alien invasion rehash series keep popping up. But with Night Sky we finally got a completely original, sophisticated science fiction series and it gets canned first season without closure.

Just finished watching the final episode of series 1 to find that Amazon have dropped this little gem of a program. Really disappointed as the characters were great and with an original storyline this was one of the best TV series I've seen for some time.

There's so many ways this series could evolve, just feel it didn't get the exposure it deserved for people to see it. I only came across it accidentally and took a chance. So glad I did.

I hope Amazon change there mind at some point, there's not enough if these type of sci-fi programs out there.

If you're looking for something a little different and are happy to sit back and enjoy a good story then please give this series a chance.

JK Simmons, Sissy Spacek and space, what is not to like? Well nothing actually, this is not a clichéd, frantic lasers and technology sci-fi show, but rather a character driven story centred on family, relationships plus growth and decline over time.

The core focus is on the York couple in the final chapter of their lives, beautifully, realistically and sweetly played by Simmons and Spacek and the impact secret access to the stars has on their lives; a fabulous character study. They are seeking rejuvenation and meaning, and find it in a completely unexpected and surprising guise.

Byron (Adam Bartley) is an irritating character, though grit in the oyster does not always produce a pearl. His plotline distracts greatly from the central story without adding anything.

This is the second novel approach to sci-fi that Amazon has produced recently (Outer Range) which is to be applauded, and this one concludes in a more satisfying way and leaves room for a welcome season two.

This is an exceptional sci-fi series and these days those are rare. Character-driven, mysterious, and suspenseful. Excellent acting. Good effects. The writing really conveys what it feels like to be in the characters' shoes.

Everyone had different taste. That being said, at 64 this series was one of the best I have seen! It is a shame that quality programs get cancelled while junk shows like the Bachelor and such roll on for years.

Anything with J K Simmons in it is worth a look, the show is not your normal action packed sci fi series, it goes deeply into characters and has long periods of dialogue.

It strays at times into boring and can be frustrating but overall is a good series, very well acted, the 'thinking' persons sci fi.

It seems the streaming giants are all competing for the big ticket shows like Stranger Things, Lord of the rings stuff and game of thrones stuff. I like those types of shoes too but I also appreciate something deeper, slower and meaningful.

Night Sky was well executed and well acted. An engaging story and engaging theme. It's a pity it didn't make the cut for a second season. Netflix did it with the OA and here we go again...

Impatient viewers it's pretty much what's wrong with the world today people are way way too impatient shows not great yes it's a little slow great acting I'll give it a 7 stop being impatient !! Watch the damn thing before you rate it.

Amazon had a hit here but it needed better advertising. The cast was superior to many other shows. Also the story line needed more time to develop.

Oh! Well guess I need to buy the book from Barnes and Nobel not Amazon.

The acting is very good. Production value is also very good. It moves a bit slow but is still interesting. Worth the binge. Sissy spacek is a 10 actress.

Firstly, not all your viewers are silly impatient teenagers. There are a huge amount of us looking for a slower burn and more relatable characters, and this had that. Quality acting from Spacek and Simmonds. Yes, there were times when I fast-forwarded, I do understand the wish for this to speed up sometimes (even at my age) and perhaps given time, they'd have gotten the feedback to understand how to tweak it but it would have been worthwhile. Just a touch of humour is a must despite a serious message - it's worked for so many lasting series. Amazon can afford some more patience, and definitely needs, like so many others to listen to what viewers are saying, not just look at meaningless startup figures. Many of us are frustrated with the great series we've loved then got cancelled. This was a great premise and plot. What a shame.

I premise is so interesting. The acting is grade A

But the pace of the show is real life time based. If you hung out with your grandparents all weekend long, that's the pace. You love them dearly...but everything takes a long time

But man the acting is so good. I'm frustrated that the show couldn't have been 2 or 3 perfect episodes that were compelling. I'm frustrated as an audience member. I feel let down in something that could have been great.

Engaging story line, cast, setting and art direction. So enjoyable. I paced my way through it rather than binging it. It is entering another world on many levels. The interplay between Spacek and Simmons is wonderful. The slow build of suspense leads to a powerful climax. Hope Season 2 is being planned. I'm in.

I just sat and watched it all night in one sitting. So yes, I was fascinated. Did it occasionally get a little slow? Maybe a little, but even then the story was interesting. The acting was amazing-how could it not be with Sissy Spacek and J. K. Simmons leading the cast? All of the side characters were pretty great as well. There was plenty of action without it being an "action" movie. People do get hurt and some die. Mainly though it was the characters that were important, their actions and interactions with others that drove the story. Yes, it was science fiction, and to me really good science fiction, but I also enjoyed the elderly couple and their back story concerning their son, their granddaughter and their love for each other. And although we don't get all the answers, we do get quite a bit. The fun part? They left it wide open for another season! By the way, I didn't tell anything about the actual story on purpose. I loved going in with very little idea what to expect and I'm glad I did.

Can't rate it yet as I haven't seen it all, but I do like it, even though it is purposefully slow.

I mostly dislike those shows & films that are dramas with a thin veneer of scifi to trick the fans of that genre, but this doesn't feel like that, even though it is a drama with a tiny pinch of mystery.

The 2 leads, they're performances & the wonderful life they seem to have is really rather lovely & endearing. As to the setup, I've never seen this premise before & it is without doubt intriguing, it just depends where the writers decide to take them, and us, on their cosmic journey.

Special nods for the lovely soundtrack & thoughtful cinematography.

I'm in for the ride, fingers crossed.

I am seriously getting angry and frustrated at Amazon! How can they fund a Tv show that is unique has a superb cast and an extremely entertaining story scoring highly on ratings to just decide after one season that they are not going to bother to continue! This is Mindless and shows a total lack of disregard for its Consumers!

They Cannot justify this in Any way in my eyes and to suggest that it is down to the Cost of the production is the Lamest reason in my eyes! I will say this yet again if Amazon Shelved the Many cheap awful shows that they insist on renewing due to cost and put that money into Good worthwhile shows such as Night Sky and Perephinal another superb show then they would become a Great Production company and have many followers!

However they don't seem to have the intellectual insight into doing this and so keep producing many below average productions to the detriment of excellent shows! As an Amazon consumer I am fed up of this the number of show choices to watch below a 4 star rating is endless and if you find a gem you just have to pray there will be another season as they axe the good ones Treadstone another that fell! I am 😞 to see another very promising show fall at Amazons Axe again!

It's completely ridiculous that this marvellous series won't get a second season. Easily one of the finest things I've watched in an age! Truly wonderful acting from not just the utterly superb JK Simmons and Spacek (perfectly named!) but the whole cast. The character development is real and genuinely moving. You care about the people as you get to know them and their complex back stories. The whole project has been considered to the nth degree. No stone left unturned and yet rich in further possibilities. It's richly nuanced and full of surprises and such an intelligent piece of work. All the superlatives. More please!

Night Sky has the feel of a Ray Bradbury/Rod Serling/Robert Heinlein tale. Which is high praise indeed!! From the reviews I've read it seems that the most frequent complaint.is that the storyline moves too slowly. That is what makes it so refreshing and unique.

Nighy Sky is a rare jewel amongst the muck and mire of what's generally out there today - especially in science fiction.

No sex, very. Very little bad language, a couple of fight scenes (not graphic)

I don't even think.you could get that far into fan theories because they really tell you very little about whats actually happened. The family drama takes up so much of the screen time you only get bits and pieces of the larger story. By the end of episode 8 you only know a littke bit more than you did in episode 1. Interesting but patience was growing weary by the end.

Yet another great show that really could have gone somewhere if it hadn't been strangled in the crib by its streamer. Money hungry business people are destroying art and there isn't much we can do about it.

Solid acting from two titans of the acting world, Sissy Spacek and J. K. Simmons. Great writing and great directing. Is it a bit slow paced? Yes, but its about a retired couple, so no huge fighting set pieces. But that's all I get in every other program, so I thought this was a nice change.

Regardless, they cancelled this show because it didn't drive subscriptions. So instead of letting it go for a couple of seasons to let it wrap up like Peacock did with Evil, the just cancelled it. They don't care about their product. They don't care about their art. Its just numbers to them.
