- jackmeat14 september 2025Season 1: My quick rating - 6.4/10. Just finished this one up and came to update my post, BUT realized I hadn't made one. The show stars the immensely talented Josh Brolin as a rancher who just so happens across a strange hole on his property. That would be the most dumbed-down version of this mysterious show I can give. And the poster also shows that, so I thought I would slightly explain. A cross between X-Files and Yellowstone was about all I could think of in that strange things are occurring in the wilderness here, and the mystery is far deeper than a simple hole in the ground. The casting for this is great, as each character plays their part so well that you actually do care about them. The first couple of episodes really draw you into a story that involves a bit of supernatural and a bit of time travel, among other possible things. And while I was very much enjoying everything unfolding then, it took a turn in the later episodes, I didn't like at all dropping this from high to low end 6. All of a sudden, they started speaking in soap opera. Let me explain, a single conversation, instead of taking a normal amount of time, is drawn out over multiple episodes. An annoyance that soap operas are famous for. There was no reason to incorporate this into a show that has so many potential possibilities going on. All I can think of is planned multiple seasons, so they stretched this shit out as much as they could. There is little reasoning beyond that I can come up with. But everything that makes this one to checking out is there, from great camerawork and what it is pointed at to a good mix of character interaction with the strange occurrences going on in the town. The family connections between the rival ranchers are well played out, and where the story ultimately goes still leaves plenty to look forward to in the future. Season 2: My quick rating - 6.8/10. You will get the majority of what you need to know if you read my review from Season 1. I was glad to see that the soap opera-style conversations were nearly eliminated for this season. It brought the show back to where it should have been. Imogen Poots' character, Autumn, really captivated the show. I think I have pointed out how great Josh Brolin is on this show, so I figured I would point out another great performance. The whole cast is exceptional, to be honest, and is what will bring you back for more of the mystery around the giant hole in the ground. The only problem is the show has NOT been renewed, so there will not be a third season as of now. This is one of those shows that was not nearly done with the story they were telling and left plenty of narrative to continue. Season 2 picks up right where you left off from the previous and there is almost no way for me to go into much plot without spoilers. There are more issues and alliances between the Tillersons and the Abbotts, along with some more traveling back and forth between centuries. The crafting of the story that gives us the background to Royals' (Brolin) upbringing does help us appreciate some of the first season elements a bit more, at least it did for me. Some new relationships were explored that apparently have intermixed in other time periods to keep the sci-fi connection alive. I am doing the best I can to describe, while being so vague, I apologize. If you are interested in Quantum Leap and any of the Yellowstone western shows, this is a cross between them with some other interesting ideas dropped in there. Worth watching, especially if you already have Prime, otherwise, see the next line and check it out. 07.21.24 So I will update this if anything changes in a third season. UPDATE: The show was cancelled.
- The Gutter Monkey13 mei 2025Sadly, it was cancelled before its questions were resolved. Up until then, though, it was a great sci-fi mystery.
