This is no homestead drama though—part western, part sci-fi, the Abbotts’ lives get exponentially stranger with the arrival of a mysterious drifter, Autumn (Imogen Poots), and the discovery of an inexplicable black pit on the property, a void that seems capable of catapulting people through time. A little bit Outlander , a little bit Dark , and a whole lot weird, Outer Range’s first season was perhaps too much of a slow burn, but the newly arrived second season finally masters its pacing and establishes itself as a compelling genre mashup well worth your time. Maybe the end of the world is the secret sauce to making a great video game adaptation—between The Last of Us and now this spectacular interpret.
