Big Sky

It's definitely got it's issues. Sometimes I find myself asking..."why am I watching this?" However, the fact that I do indeed keep on watching must mean something. However, this, like many other shows, just seems intent to shoot itself in the foot. Show two episodes, then off for 3 weeks, show another 2 and then off for 3 weeks again. That's no way to keep an audiences interested.

The first 5 episodes were good. But after that, it was like they were pushing it. The ending was anticlimactic. And felt like a Tesla ad.

I liked the first episode because it actually trolls the audience into thinking that the main character is the main character.

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.
