Last week (in the USA) saw a number of seasons/series conclude. Prodigal Son, City on a Hill and Zoeys Extraordinary Playlist. Now it's time to look at Big Sky. Already renewed for a second season, the ABC crime drama thriller by David E. Kelley based on The Highway series of books has been a rare hit this 2020–21 television season.
Starring John Carroll Lynch, Dedee Pfeiffer, Ryan Phillippe, Katheryn Winnick, Brian Geraghty and Omar Metwally. Although spoiler alert, Ryan Phillippe bails out early on.
I have to say I enjoyed the series more when I believed it was going to be a 10 episode first season/mini series.
The second half of the season (when it returned from a two month break) felt a little forced. The first half of the season with the girls in the truck was way more interesting/compelling compared to the Yellowstone light secondary storyline.
The show was a massive hit for ABC (in the USA) placing just behind Shonda hit series like Grey's and Station 19 as one of its most popular drama series.
That said the show will join Grey's and Station 19 on Thursday nights in the USA. I will be interested to see if all shows return late September taking the US series back to their OG scheduling. A September through May season.
Big Sky in Australia airs on Star/Disney+.
