![]() The problem is that while their extraterrestrial observation deck is unquestionably gorgeous - unnaturally looming moons, vast stretches of rocky terrain - there isn’t really all that much to do. It’s less than 10 minutes into the Juan José Campanella-directed pilot that Irene asks her hubby, “How about we go see the stars tonight?” This is her code for taking the vomit-inducing trip to some unknown galaxy. Night Sky gets down to genre business rapidly. Oh and keep an eye out toward the end of the season for a guest star who underlines the Lost connections. ![]() The best description I can give for Night Sky, at least for Lost fans, is that it’s like if Rose and Bernard discovered the hatch… and then decided they didn’t really care, because they were too busy regulating their blood pressure. Meanwhile, in remote Argentina of all places, Stella (Julieta Zylberberg) and her teenage daughter Toni (Rocío Hernández) are raising alpacas and Toni is becoming antsy about her mother’s talk of their family destiny and their general isolation.Īre Jude and Stella and Toni connected in some way to the situation with the Yorks’ shed?

The two Oscar winners are never less than compelling, even if the same cannot be said of the mystery they’re involved in. It’s a tough and potentially frustrating genre and Night Sky will very likely infuriate viewers whose curiosity is more on the “Interstellar Travel” side of things than the “Growing Old Sucks” side, but Night Sky has something going for it that Invasion and Outer Range do not have: Sissy Spacek and J.K. Or how Apple TV+’s Invasion is about an alien, well, invasion, but it’s really about international production locations and faith. It’s like how Amazon’s Outer Range is about a giant interdimensional hole in Josh Brolin’s backyard, but it’s really about land rights and faith. ![]() Discovery, MGMĬreated by Holden Miller, Amazon’s Night Sky is the latest entry in the recently burgeoning genre of slow-burn sci-fi, shows that promise to be about speculative elements, but want to make it clear that they’re more about human concerns and spiritual themes than UFOs or time travel.
