When Outer Range debuted back in 2022, I quickly became engrossed by it. It featured great performances, an intriguing mystery, and it moved at a breakneck speed. Now, two years later, Season Two has arrived and the series hasn't lost a step. The central mystery is expanded on in many interesting ways, while a stronger focus has been put on character development, taking full advantage of the (once again) terrific cast. Let’s hope this season doesn’t take as long as the first to earn a renewal because I can’t wait to see where the story continues to go!

The second season of Outer Range is every bit as captivating as the first. While the turmoil inside the Abbott family is the main focus of Season One, Season Two ups the sci-fi element for a more enigmatic tone. Rich world-building and nuanced character development drive this compelling drama, which features a cast of solid actors, led by Josh Brolin. Overall, this Yellowstone meets Dark tale is engrossing from start to finish despite moments of feeling slow and unclear, so I'm eagerly awaiting another season even though it left me with more questions than answers.

Despite generally solid performances, Outer Range has become the worst kind of sci-fi puzzle box show in its second season. It seemingly has no idea where it’s ultimately headed, content to simply create new questions while only providing information over actual answers. On top of that, the character stories are sewn together in a way that keep them from being consistently engaging, with some characters and subplots disappearing for episodes at a time. I may not even return for Season Three of Yellowstone Twin Peaks despite a promise of “this is just the beginning,” especially if there is another two-year gap between seasons.
