Season two is still out there, and I had a blast watching it, but it tries to put the wheels back on and loses a little something for it.

This season gets a B- from me, it leans into the insane ride that it is, though it can be a bit of a slog at times.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | May 23, 2024

While some visual elements don’t necessarily fit with the vibe of the show and more complications are added to the narrative without resolution, the storytelling is enthralling and continues to draw me in, just like the void calls to the characters.

But oh, what fun. What menace. What a total bonanza. “Outer Range” has so much to give, even if some of that is time-loop baloney.

The dialogue is better than average and truly excels in certain moments, while the atmosphere is spot on for this twisted Wyoming version of Twin Peaks.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.2/5 | May 22, 2024

It’s hard to imagine another actor besides Brolin stapling the entire mess into a singular piece of art in a believable way.

At its core, Outer Range is a cerebral and philosophical drama, best appreciated by diehard fans of the series. When the plot remains focussed on family issues, it provides an immersive and gripping experience.

True to form, Season 2 hews to the unpredictable.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | May 22, 2024

In the end, Outer Range delivered yet another thrilling season, managing to keep its rich world-building and complex characters.

The hole in the Abbott family’s western pasture may have a gravitational field that reaches through television screens because I am just as hooked this year as I was when the first season debuted.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | May 17, 2024

If “Outer Range” season one played with the absence of God as the hole in the hearts of man and the inscrutable mindboggling notions of time that upended one’s belief system, then season two ups the ante in the uncanny realm.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | May 17, 2024

Season 2 takes a few missed steps toward the confounding, but commits deeper to the show's own weirdness, which is appreciated.

Full Review | May 17, 2024

Season 2 manages to keep most of these fantastical themes and ideas intact, while it presents more intriguing paths and ideas for our characters to explore.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | May 17, 2024

The second season of Outer Range certainly isn’t boring, but we just wonder if all the time jumping is going to either get confusing or just make for a bunch of jumbled mysteries without answers.

For all the brotherly feuds and Autumn’s inscrutable scheming, it’s what happens in the past that really sets Outer Range a-singing. Particularly thanks to the show’s real MVP, acting Sheriff Joy, played with heart and soul by Tamara Podemski.

I’m privately convinced that nobody knows where any of this is going, and you can feel that in Season 2 much more than you could in the debut outing.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | May 16, 2024

[Outer Range's] sophomore season is exciting, suspenseful, and always challenges its audience, for better or worse.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | May 15, 2024

This is still one of the best sci-fi shows on TV. But is the novelty of the genre mash-up fading?

I’ll christen Outer Range with the title of “Best Time-Travel Show Since Dark.”

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | May 15, 2024

More than last season—perhaps due to the showrunner shift, from series creator Brian Watkins in season one to Charles Murray in season two—Outer Range is careful to make sure the viewer is picking up what it’s putting down.
