Review of Outer Range

Outer Range (2022– )
4/10
Started out interesting...and then....
6 May 2022
First episode catches your attention, maybe even the second. After that the series divulge into long monologues that do not go anywhere, lots of unnecessary singing(not making this up, one character sings complete songs each episode) and the whole lot of 'let's not solve this in 3 seconds by talking it out but stretch it over 4 episodes by not talking'. It is one thing to have some secrets for a big reveal, but everyone has secrets on many things without providing a valid reason outside of compensating for bad writing.

The movie has a good setup but instead comes off almost like a Dallas/Dynasty/Days of our Live soap opera. People friends one second, enemies next, no one or no building has ANY security. Episode 5 and 6 are could be completely removed and would have very little effect on the story. The only thing I give credit for is the acting which is done well by many of the actors but everything else is not good.

There is no one to root for or even care if they die or not.

Also...about 25% of the show runtime is dark....like so dark that you cannot see what is on the screen dark. Extremely irritating.

Started Season two and stopped halfway through the first episode. There was: 2 Overacting scenes 4 'I need to say something, but I can't, won't, or don't.

9, count them 9 times people are calling someone's name to get them to come back

You would think after what everyone has been through in Season One, that everybody would get in a room and say what they know....but no. Everyone keeping secrets.....because.

Interesting premise, but not much else is happening.
