1 | "The Void" | Alonso Ruizpalacios | Brian Watkins | April 15, 2022 | |
In the town of Wabang, Wyoming, Royal Abbott, the owner of a large ranch, is approached by a woman named Autumn, who asks to camp out on Abbott's land. Royal accepts. The neighboring Tillerson family, Trevor, Luke, and Billy, meet Royal and his sons Rhett and Perry. They inform Royal that a particular plot of land on the ranch belongs to the Tillerson family and that redrawing the property lines will need to happen or else the Tillersons will take the Abbotts to court. Royal later finds an inexplicable, ostensibly bottomless hole on his land. Royal extends his hand into the hole and receives prophetic visions. Upon returning home, Deputy Sheriff Joy explains to the rest of his family that the authorities intend to cease investigating the disappearance of his daughter-in-law Rebecca, wife to Perry and mother to Perry's daughter, and Royal's granddaughter Amy. At a local bar later at night, Perry and Trevor, both drunk, get into a fistfight after Trevor taunts Perry about Rebecca, and Perry beats Trevor to death. Rhett and Perry bring Trevor's corpse back to the Abbott ranch, and Royal decides to cover up the killing to protect his family. After seeing Royal toss Trevor's body into the hole, Autumn confronts Royal and pushes him into the hole. | |||||
2 | "The Land" | Alonso Ruizpalacios | Brian Watkins | April 15, 2022 | |
Cecilia, Rhett, and Perry get their stories straight in the morning. Royal suddenly returns home after having woken up in a field. Luke meets with Joy, promising the support of the Tillerson clan in an upcoming election in exchange for her help in finding Trevor. Royal and Perry meet with the Abbott family's lawyer, who confirms the Tillersons' claim to their land and advises Royal to give it up. Instead, Royal meets with Tillerson patriarch Wayne and offers a smaller plot of land in a different part of the ranch, but Wayne refuses, adamant about the west pasture. Amy meets Autumn out in the wild, and Autumn points out a strange symbol dotted across the Abbott ranch drawing her. Royal decides to move all cattle across the farm to avoid the hole. That night, Autumn confronts Royal and questions him about what happened in the hole and how he returned. Royal doesn't answer her questions forthrightly. Instead, he recalls waking up near the hole in a seemingly other world, where soldiers and the townspeople confront him. A version of Cecilia then informed him that he had been dead for two years before warning him to run – Luke then opens fire on Royal, who turns and jumps back into the hole. | |||||
3 | "The Time" | Jennifer Getzinger | Zev Borow | April 22, 2022 | |
Joy arrests a criminal who warns of other missing townspeople. Autumn meets Perry. While out shopping, Cecilia sees Rebecca driving a truck and later dismisses it as an illusion. Joy confronts Rhett that night at a rodeo and states that Rhett's blood was on Trevor's belt buckle. Later, while celebrating his performance, Rhett is arrested for drunken behavior. While detained, Joy interrogates Rhett, and Rhett admits he got into a fight with Trevor but denies anyone else was there. Royal confronts Autumn and states he believes he traveled through time in the hole; he instructs her to keep silent in exchange for his knowledge. Simultaneously, Royal, Joy, and many other residents of Wabang notice a mountain briefly disappear and then reappear. While hiking, Amy discovers Trevor's corpse in the wilderness, and Royal informs Joy. | |||||
4 | "The Loss" | Jennifer Getzinger | Brian Watkins & Lucy Thurber | April 22, 2022 | |
Months ago, laborers on the Tillersons' ranch discovered a strange rock near the Abbott west pasture, initiating Wayne's obsession with acquiring the land. Presently, Joy and the Wabang police, along with Royal, hike to Trevor's corpse and recover the body. Joy interrogates Amy with Royal, Cecilia, and Perry present; Amy's testimony clears everyone but Rhett. Joy has her deputy attempt to intercept and question Rhett about his whereabouts before his family can alert him. However, Maria unexpectedly covers Rhett. Royal meets with and threatens Karl, the county assessor who Wayne had bribed to recognize the Tillersons' claim to the Abbott west pasture. Karl, in turn, moves the impending hearing up. Joy interrogates Maria, Rhett, and Perry separately, and their alibis begin to break down before Royal rescues them. Patricia, the matriarch of the Tillerson clan, arrives in town, quickly taking control of the household from Wayne. Joy and Patricia narrow down their focus to Rhett and Perry. However, the autopsy report on Trevor confirms that the time of death was only ten hours before the corpse's discovery despite the bar fight and subsequent disappearance happening eight days ago. At the funeral, Patricia opens the casket and deduces that Trevor's murderer was Perry when she observes him unable to look at the body. Later, Royal plays against Autumn in a poker game and wagers his west pasture against her necklace, cheating to win. Wayne receives a sign from the strange rock at night and drives out into the west field, finding the hole. Wayne and Royal then get into a fight, and Wayne bludgeons Royal unconscious with the rock before driving off. | |||||
5 | "The Soil" | Amy Seimetz | Dominic Orlando & Naledi Jackson | April 29, 2022 | |
Wayne drives home in a fervor, arriving at the ranchhouse and announcing to his family that he "found it" before having visions of two young boys at the hole and then suffering a stroke. Cecilia confronts Autumn who had snuck into the Abbott house to steal her necklace back, while Joy begins to interrogate witnesses to the bar fight to build up a case against Rhett and Perry. Royal meets with a local geologist who had been approached by Wayne to survey the Abbott west pasture and shows her Autumn's necklace - the geologist becomes interested in the rock and requests to study it further, but Royal refuses when he sees a photo including her and a symbol that he had previously seen when he was pushed into the hole and emerged in the other world. Looking up this symbol later, he finds it is the logo of a mining company. With Wayne incapacitated, Patricia and Luke begin proceedings to transfer ownership of the estate to Luke. Rhett spends the night with Maria, while Perry bonds with Autumn, explaining how Rebecca just vanished one night and his suspicions that she had left him. Royal takes the necklace to his barn and crushes it in a vise, releasing a black powder that seems to dissipate in his hand. He then sees Cecilia holding his lifeless body, while another Autumn, still wearing the necklace, seems to be able to perceive him and addresses him before the vision fades. | |||||
6 | "The Family" | Amy Seimetz | Dominic Orlando & Lucy Thurber | April 29, 2022 | |
Royal confronts Autumn, who explains that her necklace and the strange rocks on the west pasture are time, somehow in physical form. Royal threatens Autumn to stay away from his family or he will murder her, leaves her for dead in the wilderness, and then burns her campsite down. As an injured Autumn attempts to hike back to her camp, she encounters a bear which gives her the message to "show him.” Later, while Billy is out hunting an elk, he stumbles into Autumn, who takes him to the hole. Patricia and Luke discover from the Tillerson family lawyer that Wayne stipulated in his will to leave everything to Billy; Patricia leaves Wabang to deal with this matter while instructing Luke to keep it a secret from Billy. Joy builds a case against Rhett and Perry, but the time of death on the coroner's report makes the timeline impossible. Joy has a spat with her partner Martha, while Rhett confronts Maria after their night together. Maria affirms that she loves him, but they cannot be together because Rhett will always prioritize his family. When Rhett challenges her, she tests him by asking about Trevor's murder, and Rhett covers up for Perry. Autumn returns to her campsite to find it destroyed. She calls someone and demands money, then carves the strange symbol into her own flesh. Later, visibly unhinged without her medication, Autumn meets with Perry and reveals that Royal attempted to kill her and that she witnessed Royal disposing of Trevor's corpse. Autumn claims she suspects Royal in Trevor's murder and asks to go to Joy together with Perry to turn him in. That night at dinner, Perry arrives home and tells his family that he has sent a confession letter to Joy. Incensed, Rhett fights Perry. Royal intervenes and he and Rhett struggle. Royal slams Perry into a glass fixture and a shard of glass hits Amy in the head, and she runs out of the house, just as a police car arrives on the property. | |||||
7 | "The Unknown" | Lawrence Trilling | Zev Borow and Brian Watkins | May 6, 2022 | |
Perry is taken to jail and Joy questions him about Trevor’s death. Royal and Cecilia bail him out of jail, putting up the ranch as collateral until the trial. Royal drives Perry home and tells him why he ran away from home when he was a boy: while hunting in 1886, Royal accidentally shot and killed his father. Scared, he ran away and discovered the same hole that is currently on the Abbott ranch. He jumped into the hole and when he came out, it was the year 1968, and he was on the Abbott ranch; the Abbott family took him in and raised him as their own. Royal takes Perry to the hole and Perry, distraught over the current situation, jumps in and the hole disappears. | |||||
8 | "The West" | Lawrence Trilling | Brian Watkins | May 6, 2022 | |
Autumn waits for her money to be transferred to the bank and she gets into a heated argument with Maria. At the rodeo, Rhett is thrown off the bull he is riding and injures his shoulder. Autumn calls Amy’s phone and asks for Royal. She tells him he can find her in town, and he leaves to confront her. Rhett doesn’t give up and wants to ride the final round. He wins and he and Maria reconcile. Amy wanders into the parking lot and sees her mother, Rebecca. She tells Amy to come with her and the two of them leave. Cecilia realizes Amy is missing and searches for her. Meanwhile, Joy sees thousands of bison stampeding across the fields and several Native Americans hunting them. Royal confronts Autumn in town and she and Billy attempt to kill him, resulting in a gunfight while they drive. Luke digs a hole in the ground, thinking he will find what will make him rich. Oil starts coming out of the ground, but it transforms into the swirling mist of the hole and stampeding bison emerge. They trample Luke and continue to stampede. Royal manages to injure Billy while they are still driving and Billy’s truck crashes. Autumn is ejected from the truck and Royal goes to finish her off. Before he can, the bison stampede through the area. Royal takes cover under the truck, but Autumn is trampled. Royal checks on her after the bison leave and discovers that she has a scar on her head in the same place where Amy was hit with the glass shard, revealing that she is actually Amy from the future. He takes her home and places Amy on her bed. He finds Cecilia sitting at the kitchen table Amy had set for the entire family. Royal confesses his past to Cecilia and tells her that he just wants his family back. Cecilia says their family is gone, even Amy. Royal shakes his head and says “No, she’s not.” |

---|---|---|
1 | 79% (53 reviews) | 60 (23 reviews) |
2 | 92% (24 reviews) | 72 (9 reviews) |
Season 1
[edit]The first season was met with mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 79% of 53 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.8/10. The website's consensus reads: "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."[12] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 60 out of 100 based on 23 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[15]
Ryan Britt of Inverse called the series "one of the boldest, weirdest, and most affecting sci-fi shows of the 21st century" and praised the performances of Josh Brolin, Imogen Poots and Tamara Podemski.[16] The New York Post's Michael Starr wrote, "Outer Range 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."[17] Robert Daniels of RogerEbert.com lauded Brolin, Poots and Lili Taylor's performances and said that the series is "the rare kind of genre-bending work that leaves one wounded in its fresh take on our human existence while offering untold possibilities."[18] Katie Rife of Polygon commended the direction, performances (particularly Brolin and Poots), soundtrack, and musical score.[19]
In a mixed review, Alison Foreman of The A.V. Club graded the series with a "C" and wrote, "Despite the promise of a stunning natural setting and a big ol' hole to throw things into, Watkins can't quite come into his own. Even as the soapy interpersonal stories ramp up, there's a nagging feeling Outer Range never goes far enough."[20] Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter criticized the writing and pacing, saying that "the most infuriating thing about Outer Range, and there are a lot of infuriating things about it, is how almost nobody on-screen is asking any of the questions that audiences will be asking. And, in its general lack of hole-directed inquisitiveness, the narrative progresses at a bizarrely glacial pace." Nonetheless, Fienberg praised the performances of Brolin, Podemski, Poots and Tom Pelphrey.[21] Kristen Lopez of IndieWire criticized the writing and incoherent tone, while praising the performances of its cast. Lopez graded the series with a "D".[22]
The season was named the 19th best TV show of 2022 by Inverse.[23] TVLine labeled it as the "most underrated drama" of the year.[24]
Season 2
[edit]The second season received mostly positive critical reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds an approval rating of 92% based on 24 reviews, with an average rating of 7.2/10. The website's consensus reads: "With a better handle on its characters and a willingness to get even weirder, Outer Range's sophomore outing is in the zone."[14] On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 72 out of 100 based on 9 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[25]
Writing for The Wall Street Journal, John Anderson said "Audacity is what makes the show not just watchable but maybe even important: It isn't the singer, or the song, but the singer singing the song while plummeting through space and time."[26] Bob Strauss of TheWrap considered it "an improvement over the intriguing but less textured first season".[27] Gabriela Burgos Soler of Tell-Tale TV gave the season a rating of 4 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Outer Range delivered yet another thrilling season, managing to keep its rich world-building and complex characters."[28] Ryan Britt of Inverse was also favorable with the season, calling it "one of the best sci-fi shows on TV" and lauding Brolin, Poots and Podemski's performances, though he felt disappointed that all seven episodes were released at once, opining that "this is a show you'll want to step away from after a few episodes, and then come back to and savor. If you do it all in a binge, [your] head might be spinning."[29]
However, some critics were unimpressed, especially with the writing.[30][31] Tom Philip of The A.V. Club graded it with a "C+" and said that "[the season] is unlikely to thrill all but the most devoted fans of its first outing. And while there's still a decent framework and a game set of actors, there’s no escaping the reality that things will need to click fast if it has any hope of reaching its planned ending.[30]
