Night Sky (Prime)

Post by monabri »

Irene and Franklin York live out in the sticks. With advancing age and frailty, they consider moving...however they have a secret in their back garden.

A slow paced sci-fi series ( series 1 , 8 episodes)...relying on character development and a slowly revealed underlying plot.

Series 1 ends well and would lead to a possible second series....although Prime have cancelled a second series :(

Sorry to read that Series 2 has been cancelled.

I found this series quite delightful with the ever enchanting Sissy Spacek still more than able to carry a star role. J K Simmons is as usual excellent and Chai Hansen (plays the cameraman in the Newsreader) is suitably low level creepy as the main support.

You could ask the same of Firefly :(

Cancelling a show is generally a reflection on its popularity not its quality

Have to agree with servodude. The series is fairly well self contained within the 8 episodes. Well worth viewing for reasons already given.

Just finished the 2nd episode, I watched 1 & 2 back to back and I'm liking the unwrapping of the tale, I hope we get a bit more pace and tying together of the threads.
