What to Know

Critics Consensus

Outer Range's plethora of subplots threaten to get sucked into a wormhole of ponderousness, but at least this sci-fi Western is anything but plain.

Michael Starr New York Post “Outer Range” is a bit touch-and-go in terms of its interest factor but, then again, you’ll want to know how it all turns out, thanks to the sci-fi twist that saves it from mediocrity. May 3, 2022 Full Review Kristen Lopez IndieWire Brolin’s good and if the series eschewed the sci-fi conceit there’s enough good actors here to at least make it entertaining. But slathering a sci-fi element on top of it and not understanding what tone to strike doesn’t lead to oil, it leads to crap. Rated: D Apr 26, 2022 Full Review Alison Stine Salon.com Flashes of dark humor and just plain surrealness keep the show from stalling, but it's a slow burn with many burning questions. Apr 18, 2022 Full Review Pradeep Menon Firstpost Outer Range often gave me the impression of being modelled very much on Netflix's Dark, but targeted at those who may have been unwilling to take all the intellectual and emotional leaps. Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Sarah Ward Concrete Playground A puzzle box of a program — and the weirder that Outer Range gets, and moodier as well, the more it intrigues and engrosses. Jun 25, 2022 Full Review Kristy Strouse Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying Outer Range proves to be unique, alluring, and infinitely odd. I applaud its approach to the unknown with a distinctive, massive anomaly that still takes a personal approach. Expertly acted, and wonderfully strange, it's a hit.

Frans B Excellent concept and all cast really excels in character. Weird and wonderful, filled with mind bending twists and turns with a little bit of old fashioned action thrown in. Nice venture on the edge of inexplicable wonder and awe. Totally recommended Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review A.L.Jude P If not a bit slow paced this would have been another Yellow Stone in par. Yet, very interesting and bet it will keep you guessing from the start. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Brandon S I think Outer Range blends Western drama with supernatural mystery in a compelling way. Josh Brolin shines as Royal Abbott. The show builds tension slowly, offering stunning cinematography of Wyoming’s vast landscapes, while diving into themes of time, fate, and the unknown, which are my favorite kind of themes. While the performances are solid, especially from Brolin and Imogen Poots, I find the pacing a bit slow, with more questions than answers by the end. But in my opinion the unique combination of genres and gripping suspense make it worth the slow-burn that it is. I'd say it's a captivating watch for those who enjoy thoughtful, slow-burn mysteries with a sci-fi edge. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Jenaro V El arranque es buenísimo, toda la intriga del agujero, los secretos y la forma en que se van desarrollando los personajes es muy interesante, pero no supieron mantener eso, hacia el final la serie pierde mucha fuerza, las tramas se hacen repetitivas en si mismas, también hay muchas cosas que están pasando porque si y no se explica nada, como también hubo cosas que ya se anunciaban que iban a pasar y cuando ocurrían no había sorpresa, no había impacto alguno. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review Bucky D Great modern day sci-fi series. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Gergely T Strong pilot with great cinematography. Sadly then the quality declined and whatever worked, in season two is just unrecognizable. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
