Night Sky

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
