New Financial Year 2024/2025 Streaming - Outer Range - Seasons One to Two/Series Finale

I was late to the Outer Range ranch. Which reminds me a little bit of Yellowstone, until you discover it's a science fiction neo-Western series. So mix a western with science fiction. How does that work? Plus a character who also sings a wide range of pop songs from across the years!

Starring Josh Brolin, Imogen Poots, Lili Taylor, Tom Pelphrey, Tamara Podemski and Lewis Pullman.

The first season landed on (now with ad's) Amazon Prime Video in April 2022. So yeah, I am late to this party. However I did do both seasons back to back. Or b2b if you are Charli XCX!

The second season picked up where season one left off, back in May. Critics have given the series positive reviews, with particular praise for the performances of its cast (particularly Brolin and Poots). 

That said though, last month, the series was canceled after two seasons. Saying that, it felt like episode seven, of season two, was not intended to be the finale, finale.

So what's Outer Range all about? Watch the trailer or scroll below.

Royal Abbott is a Wyoming rancher who is fighting for his land and family. He discovers a mysterious black void in the pasture after the arrival of a female drifter, Autumn, who has a connection to Abbott's ranch. While the Abbott family copes with the disappearance of their daughter-in-law Rebecca, they are pushed further to the brink when a rival family, the Tillersons, try to take over their land.

Amazon have been a little savage with cancellations of late. This week cancelling My Lady Jane, after only one season.

Looks like after all the strikes, adding ad's to the basic subscription and competition across streaming services, streamers are looking to get rid of poor performing series.

I enjoyed the weirdness of Outer Range, however at times I did wonder WTF am I watching.

Like Yellowstone, rival families and rural life can be dramatic. Add a science fiction, time travel storyline to the mix and things go wild!

Was this the best series of the New Financial Year 2024/2025 Streaming period? Probably not. However it was nice to check into another Amazon series, post The Boys.

Josh Brolin is a total boss, a little more country than Yellowstone's former head honcho, Kevin Costner. But sadly this series never reached Yellowstone fever, with multiple spin-offs. It's now dead and buried.

Till next time. We are over halfway through the New Financial Year 2024/2025 Streaming period now. Wow 2024 is flying by! Q4 incoming!
