This series was crazy as hell. I really enjoyed Outer Range because I could not figure out what was going on or where the series was going. But what I liked most about it is what worries me. I fear that the creators of this show do not have a clear ending like a lot of shows I have made fun of and didn't bother watching. You know the types of shows that have a cool premise but end up canceled or being terrible because there was no clear cut exit. This series is about a family with an assload of secrets that threaten not only them but seemingly the future. This guy named Royal Abbott lives on this ranch with his wife Cecelia who is losing her mind and religion, their two sons Rhett who rides bulls, and Perry whose wife vanished leaving him with their daughter, Amy. One day this spooky ass woman named Autumn shows up and she seems to know some secrets about the land and wants to stay there.
One day Royal stumbles across this hole in the ground and keeps it a secret from everyone. People in the town are experiencing weird shit like entire mountains vanishing and animals popping up. There is also this Tillerson family who want the land and the father is weird as hell and knows something special is there. During a night of drinking Perry ends up beating one of the Tillerson sons to death and they take the body back home. Royal is like “I'll handle this” and dumps it into the hole. Autumn sees him and pushes him into the hole as well. Royal returns later acting like nothing happened. Autumn is shocked that he returned. The sheriff is looking for the missing dude (who later turns up in the hills after being found by Amy). There is a lot more to this show and they released two episodes a week on Amazon. The music, acting, and story were intriguing as hell but still...I'm worried that it doesn't know where its going and I have not heard anything about a second season. I know people online were so baffled by the show they stopped watching during the first few episodes. All everyone can do is speculate about what means what and that can get annoying. Still I would recommend checking this out.
