Outer Range (TV Series) One Night in Wabang (2024) User Reviews

Great season opener.

Very enjoyable first episode. I like that it was a straight continuation of the same night and that everyone got a spotlight.

One especially nice scene was the retconning of the Amy disappearance, as when Cecilia got to the sheriff's office the Deputy specified they already had the amber alert in effect.

I also enjoyed the scenes with Joy in the past. She was romanticizing the natives, and then the first person she encountered tried to kill her.

Plus, the part with Royal and Autumn in the truck, where something starts happening with the sky gave me goosebumps. Nicely done.

I also really liked the addition of the 2 'new' characters in the first and then last scenes. That was a nice cliffhanger reveal. Young 'R' is built!

Now I'm going to continue watching the rest of the season :)

USE. THE GUN.

Aside from the infuriating moment that had me screaming at my tv alluded to in the title, it's not a bad episode. I saw the first season twice and still forgot enough of the plot threads to be confused. I just rewatched season 1 a third time as background noise and it's better now. I'd suggest rewatching the last 20 minutes of the last episode because everyone falls into holes or gets hospitalized all at once, and if you haven't seen it since December 2022 you probably forgot where everyone landed. Also all the brothers look similar and there's like 5 of them.

I think 'Outer Range' season 1 was criminally underrated, and if they can pull off a comparable 2nd season it'll likely become a cult hit. It's probably too slow for a lot of people, but they do the 'Donnie Darko' time-warp theme well so it gives a lot to think about.
