Big Sky

I really like this show but to release only five episodes and take a two month break......why? I just asked my wife "what was the name of that show we really liked about the kidnapping?" "What ever happened to that? Was it canceled?" It seems to me it's a good way to get people to lose interest.

As far as the overall production goes, the pilot was well directed, has a nice country setting, and great cinematography. Casting and performances are excellent, and it's good to see John Carroll Lynch and Ragnar Lothbrok's wife in Vikings, Katheryn Winnick. I'm hoping this series doesn't have too many melodramatics mixed in with soap-opera romances, and sticks to the story at hand. The ending was certainly a surprise and leaves an entirely new dynamic from the initially perceived plot-line. I'll adjust my review and rating if need be as the season progresses. So for the pilot, it's an 8/10 from me.

In every episode there are at least two moments that make me roll my eyes at the ridiculous behaviour of characters BUT this show is still entertaining and we looked forward to every episode, because it did keep you hanging on to see the outcome. Give it a try!

I primarily watch this show because I liked Lagertha (Vikings), Dean (SN), Luke/Lincoln (Blindspot/M. A.o. S.) and Marcus (The 100). However, Big Sky - especially Season 3 - is very lazily scripted, has many continuation errors - just check out the wonder-healing skin of Jenny ... she slams her forehead, blood everywhere, spends a night at the hospital and her skin is perfect the next morning when she walks into the police station on her cowboy boots ... showing neither patch nor scab. And where are the children of Jenny and Cassie? Could have been nice for them to connect with Beau's daughter Emily. A pity.

The first 3/4 of the show seemed to be silly soapy drama in the mountains... the teenage girls inviting trouble like fools...the girlfight ...silly.

But then, in what seemed like a casual exchange, the entire dynamic and direction of the show changed...now the way evil lurks in the seemingly benign corners of a given community, the additional layer of mystery we didn't expect and the terrifying danger of those victimized makes this a show to watch. I think it will only get better from here.
