Featured review
"This is just the beginning." Uh-Oh
Season 1 was great, and while most of the same elements that made it great were present here, Season 2 has a distinct Marvel Phase IV theme underpinning it.
The time-travel stuff is getting out of hand. Initially it was fun and intriguing to learn about the rules of the hole, and when Rhett dove in at the end of S1 it was impactful. By the end of S2 so many people have been thrown into or jumped out of holes that it doesn't matter if anyone gets killed, another one can just crawl out of the hole from an alternate timeline. It really kills the stakes. And "This is just the beginning"? Spare me.
The story is hurt by the social messaging; characters doing things like, say for instance, killing someone with a choke hold instead of the gun they have on their belt in order to pander to a certain vocal-on-social media demographic. Certain people have to be portrayed in a certain way, and often it comes across as affirming stereotypes because the way it's implemented is through group-think, and you may as well have AI write those parts. AI is great at generating content based on mass data gathered from social media.
As always the cast is top-tier, the production is great, the music is good-to-questionable, and I like the basic characters themselves. Unfortunately though, Season 2 of 'Outer Range' opens up an additional circle of contrivance to meander through with each new time hole, and I don't see how it improves from here. It's turned into an infinite loop of circular plot threads.
