What Is 'Outer Range' About?

The first season of Outer Range introduced audiences to Royal Abbott (Brolin), a rancher fighting to protect his land and family when he discovers a mysterious black void in his pasture. As the series unfolds, Royal’s life intertwines with a series of unexplained events, leading to shocking revelations and a battle against supernatural forces. The show’s debut was lauded for its intriguing plot, stunning visuals, and compelling performances, setting the stage for an even more enthralling second season.

Collider's Chase Hutchison praised the ambition of the show, and its dedication to embracing the science-fiction aspect of it in his review, noting:

"For a show to embrace the strange elements of the cosmos and intertwine them with everyday life as well as Outer Range does is worth praising for that alone. It is both creative and cathartic, revealing much about the family at its center even as it finds splendor in the overwhelming awe of the unknown."
