Although nowhere near as grandiose, Night Sky reminds me of Westworld in ways that aren’t exactly complimentary. Both feature great performances and a slow burn mystery that strings you along with the tiniest breadcrumbs of intrigue. However, when it finally comes time for the payoff, they deny you the answers you sorely desire, all while having the audacity to end on a super interesting cliffhanger. It’s very frustrating. Maybe Night Sky is the type of show that needed Season One to lay the boring groundwork for the actual story to come in Season Two; Either way, much like my feelings about Westworld, burn me once…
