Watchseries; Finally an AMAZON series with excellent actors (SISSY SPACEK AND J. K. SIMMONS) who deliver an intelligent,, intriguing look at the unknown! Not for the "BABIES" who require nonstop action, CGI or a plot that moves along at high speed! Everything is fascinating for me & drew me in immediately! For intelligent adults it provides stimulating & ongoing fascination at a gentle, magnetic pace! Avoid this if you require constant stimulation, because this is a cerebral, thoughtful series for intelligent ADULTS 👌!

Night Sky watchseries. This gem of a Sci-Fi thriller is a unique telling of the possibilities of the universe. Carried by a stellar, award-winning cast, Night Sky tells a story of the redemptive power of love, healing and courage.
Our protagonists slowly shed their long-held beliefs that kept them earth-bound, wounded and stuck. As the series progresses, they realize that they must take a leap of faith to accomplish their destinies.
Sissy Spacek, K. K. Simmons and Chai Hansen are masterful at keeping on engaged. The pace was a tad slow, but the story is so good, you won't want to stop watching, wanting more!
Looking forward to next season...
Night Sky has the feel of a Ray Bradbury/Rod Serling/Robert Heinlein tale. Which is high praise indeed!! From the reviews I've read it seems that the most frequent complaint.is that the storyline moves too slowly. That is what makes it so refreshing and unique.
Nighy Sky is a rare jewel amongst the muck and mire of what's generally out there today - especially in science fiction.
No sex, very. Very little bad language, a couple of fight scenes (not graphic)
I love this story and who doesn't love Sissy Spacek and JK Simmons (personally Mr Simmons is like one in a century great actor) Hope it gets another season. Really good acting. Original story, great talent and chemistry.
I don't even think.you could get that far into fan theories because they really tell you very little about whats actually happened. The family drama takes up so much of the screen time you only get bits and pieces of the larger story. By the end of episode 8 you only know a littke bit more than you did in episode 1. Interesting but patience was growing weary by the end.
I just sat and watched it all night in one sitting. So yes, I was fascinated. Did it occasionally get a little slow? Maybe a little, but even then the story was interesting. The acting was amazing-how could it not be with Sissy Spacek and J. K. Simmons leading the cast? All of the side characters were pretty great as well. There was plenty of action without it being an "action" movie. People do get hurt and some die. Mainly though it was the characters that were important, their actions and interactions with others that drove the story. Yes, it was science fiction, and to me really good science fiction, but I also enjoyed the elderly couple and their back story concerning their son, their granddaughter and their love for each other. And although we don't get all the answers, we do get quite a bit. The fun part? They left it wide open for another season! By the way, I didn't tell anything about the actual story on purpose. I loved going in with very little idea what to expect and I'm glad I did.
