Just watched the first episode of Night Sky. So far it strikes me as a really good psychological drama about getting old. Not a lot of sci-fi stuff yet.
J.K. Simmons is a really good actor, especially by American standards. I’d say he’s on the level of a good Scandinavian or British actor.
Anyway, I might just have to binge this. Thanks for the recommendation!
Edit: The mysterious sci-fi stuff gets interesting around episode 4
On an emotional and psychological level, I thought the show led to a pretty satisfying conclusion. Viewers should not expect to have any off their questions about the sci-fi stuff or the intrigue answered, though. Too bad it was cancelled after one season!
But I can see why it didn’t gain a massive audience. It’s too slow and psychological for a lot of sci-fi fans, yet it has too much silly sci-fi stuff for fans of realistic psychological dramas. The Spanish parts with subtitles may also have put off a few English-speaking viewers.
If you l like J.K. Simmons, character development and science fiction, you should check out Counterpart, if you haven’t seen it already. It’s a solid spy thriller where the main plot device is a cool sci-fi concept.
Knowing anything about the story beforehand will tell you about this plot device, which is a bit of a spoiler for the first episode.

Its lo-fi scifi. Great character development story though
Just finished watching. I give it an 8/10.

😀 Glad you enjoyed the journey. Yeah, I had hoped for Season 2 to see where it was all headed…oh well

Thanks I had forgotten about this (on my list). Edit. Yes I did watch this, it was a great show.
How about Real Humans/Äkta människor? It’s a Swedish show about androids. Good drama and acting. IMO better than the British adaptation, Humans.
That I haven’t seen. Thanks!
