Should Thanos have snapped this season? Let me know what you thought. OUTER RANGE Season 1 Ending Explained: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fKlxn62rx5jTh30.html

I think Joy and Perry subconsciously navigated their way through the hole. If you consider their biggest desires. Joy to not lose herself in the process of becoming sheriff. So she reconnected with her ancestors, and Perry wanting to correct his past mistakes.

I enjoyed s2 more than s1 but liked them both, my biggest worry is just that the show gets canceled.

You get the idea it's a multi-verse when Wayne Tillerson was miraculously cured of his stroke/coma.

i was reminded why i loved this show to begin with. the tone and writing is contemplative and unique. Hope they don't cancel it!

I liked this season, it's different for sure but it was still good. I think in general everyone is getting a little spoiled off of shows handing out answers so quick and easy. This season did answer a lot of questions, the main one being are they in a time loop. Perry and little Royal proved that not to be true. "The future's not set!" That opens up so many possibilities that I'm excited to see. If the show turns out like Lost I'll eat my words, but I'm happy with Season 2.

Hopefully we get a season 3 to tie everything together

I loved this season. It did a great job with Perry’s storyline and how he ended up in a reality where he could live as if he didn’t murder one of the brothers. I enjoyed autumn this season when she wasn’t on the meds but once she took the mineral and kidnapped Amy, throwing her into the hole- now truly putting her future into effect. The show is doing a great job edging us on before giving us real answers. I also love that the whole family now knows about everything

Season 2 wasn't DARK-level like a lot of people wanted, personally I love being edged with sci-fi plotholes as many episodes as possible before all the answers drop. I loved every episode of it, especially the psychedelic implications of viewing time as non-linear

the Trevor that died in season one is the Trevor that was running away from both of the Perry’s in the season 2 alternate reality, the Trevor that Royal threw in the hole is very much alive somewhere, remember even the coroner confirmed that Trevor was only dead for hours, not for days and the cause of death was different.

I feel like the billboard "America wants you to believe that the only things worth knowing are those that can be known. America is wrong." perfectly fits the nature of the show and offers an answer to why it may feel like they aren't trying to plate up for the viewer direct whys and hows. I feel like for the most part, that's the theme of the show. Unlike season one where everything was a secret, this season made an effort to ensure that all the key characters either opened up, shared long kept secrets, shared their burdens, had revelations and tried some version of honesty and truth seeking - something i feel like is meant to either be a direct contrast to the mysterious nature of the hole which season 1 encapsulated thematically (secrets and mysterious characters) or it's setting our characters for failure in season 3, where all their honesty, openness and trying to do the right thing proves fruitless and pointless, maybe implying that, much like the ambiguous nature of the hole, there is no one direction or result for any effort - sometimes things just are, sometimes things just happen, fate is fate and no one, no intention, no effort and no reason can alter nature or the future (the unknown). There's a lot of focus in the first half of the season concerning a lose of faith and whittling away of the expectation that the trustworthiness of a name, all the effort the Abbots put into being good people in their community, "being salt of the earth" would result in being offered a helping hand when they need it most. The spiral Cecilia experience as everything turns against her and she feels the potential of losing her home (both family farm and family), the community instead talking behind their back, family bank refusing them a loan, the judge conspiring against them and showing no leniency. . . I feel like this portion strongly sets up the idea that effort is for naught; what we believe, what we think we know should happen, and what ends up happening are two opposing things. I feel like it wouldn't be a stretch to say some of the show's overall theme is: surrender to the idea that the most we can ever know for sure is knowing we merely hope and think.

I loved both seasons, it’s one of my favorite series. Great cast, good directors/cinematographers, good music. I just think it was a short season & didn’t connect with Royal’s vision in S1. I’m hoping it’s not just another multiverse series…judging by how Royal started to remember both versions of killing his father, they may not go that route and try to connect all variations which will make it interesting.

For the love of God if people don't stop coming on here to give a low review because the show isn't like Yellowstone. I need to see what direction they are going to take this show. I am deeply engaged in this storyline and if a truly original show with so many places it can go ends up getting cancelled early because people don't like having to think and guess at what could be going on, I am going to lose my mind. If you want to watch fake cowboy soap operas you can find them other places. If you'd like to engage your mind and follow the intrigue and unravel the mystery that is time and existence alongside the cool as hell scenery of Wyoming and the great cast this show has then watch this show and recommend it to other people, and leave some good reviews. We need to reward studios for making thought provoking original shows. Don't let us slide further into the shallow content dystopia.

Where Amy woke up is a different location meaning there is more than one hole. Also, why did Royal get his memories of Joy from the past but didn't know that Perry was in their past together?

It wasn't all that bad. cmon guys.

I liked S2 more then S1. Biggest gripe with S1 was everyone trying to keep secrets from each other, and it felt like the plot was kinda stalling because the main character didn't want to talk about the void with anyone. But that's all gone now finally.

I watched a documentary on Mel’s hole in ellensburg wa then for whatever reason the next day i decided to click on this series after passing it up many times not knowing this is about another hole.

I am convinced that some big plotholes are there for a reason, to make the ultimate twist huge... That said i hope the writers of this story have allready written it out so far so that amazon prime doesn't have to think twice about renewing the series for a third season. I hope they are not cancelling it after some people demanding too many awnsers to questions that can't be awnserd in a few episodes, like your usual netflix series these days... I really liked this season, more than the first, because the whole main thing in this story wasn't clear in the first one. Now we know that it's about time travel and i'm all in for that! Thanks for this explanation as always my dude!!!

Ready for season 3!

The past can be changed. It's not a different timeline or him remembering wrong. That's why he started getting hit with memories of when he was a kid all of a sudden. It was the sherrif changine the past.

This was a great season. There is definately some multiverse madness goings on. August forcing the cult aspect seems like a possibility rather than the actual future like how the singing brother KNEW his brother couldn't beat him, right before he does.

I like the slow pace and timeline twists

I loved season 1 and I really loved season 2

Really good explanation. Ive been racking my brain at times trying to figure out wtf is going on 😂

I'm not finishing this show until it's completed. And that's if it doesn't get cancelled. I enjoy this show but it's so frustrating as we barely get any answers. 2 seasons in and it's just "the beginning"

I feel like I’m watching a time travel Twin Peaks haha

The most frustrating part about season 2 is that it left us with more questions than answers, and the likelihood is very high that Amazon will leave us all hanging by not renewing the series

I was on the fence with season 1, but season 2 really made me love this show. It's weird and crazy but has the potential to be incredible as a time travel story if they develop the rest of it well enough. They even threw in the bootstrap paradox with Automne's name coming from a loop in time with no real origin.

This is the best show I have seen in a while storyline, characters, and scenery is AMAZING season 3 is definitely coming out!

Also what the hell is the musical score this season.

I like the premise of the show but I keep thinking that they don't know what they are doing and just wrote themselves into a hole. This season just felt incomplete, a lot of plot points going to nowhere that are just going to frustrate people. In two seasons they haven't really done or explained a lot just people finding out about the whole jumping into it and coming out in another period. Some things might be on the same timeline others just aren't for some reason it's just a mess. I knew many people that bailed on the first season and after watching this season I feel many will do aswell. This just feels like a network TV show that it's dragging it's feet to reached a point.

I enjoyed Season 2 but worry that there are so many loose ends and unanswered questions that we won't see things wrap up in a 3rd season. Future seasons aren't confirmed and even if they announce a final 3rd season, there's a lot to address so it may end up like the hasty final season of Game of Thrones or drag on forever with season after season of loose ends like Lost. I hope not.

I can hardly wait to see how the new timeline branch is handled, when Rhett returns and doesn’t kill Trevor. That drastically changes the timeline we’ve been following.

seems like someone tried to recreate DARK... with hillbillys

“LOST, but out West!” *cues Bonanza theme*

GREAT SHOW AMAZING SEASON NEED MORE WHAT A TWIST, TIME IS FLUID

Outer range is crazy. Nothing makes sense yet but you just have faith that everything will wrap around in a nice bow

I absolutely loved it we need more shows that don’t treat the viewers like idiots

What would happen if we threw the entire series into that hole? When a series doesn't allow us to connect (or bring to fruition) some ideas with the overall plot we have nothing with which to hang our speculations on. We just get more questions with the 2nd season. To be quite frank when there are hundreds of possible common threads we are left with the knowledge we have NO idea what this story is about or is supposed to be about. I can only speculate that as Outer Space conjures the thoughts of the unknown, cold and vastness of space, so too is Outer Range. We know very little of space and likewise we know and/or remember very little of our own past or our journey as a species to arrive here in the present.

One thing I noticed about all the travelers - they all seem to initially go to a time that is clear of their original lifetime. Royal goes 80+ years it not he future, Joy goes 120 years into the past / falling star goes 90 years into he past. Perry goes back to the 80's before he is born. Autumn (Amy) goes back about 15 years before Amy is born. As for the season... meh. Joy's travel was the most interesting / engaging thing that happened. I'm getting pretty weary of Autumn being a wacko running around all "I know best I know the future" but they don't' give us the audience anything that particularly deepens or furthers the story. We saw crazy cult Autumn flashes in S1. At least Royal is willing to talk to people now. So that's progress. But when they come out with S3 a year or two from now I'm not going to remember all this subtle back and forth. I think that was my biggest issue - there were 2 years between S1 and S2 and if they expect us to remember everything or go back and rewatch it all ... maybe I will just wait til they are all completely finished to binge it all at once.

It's safe to say that there are 2 timelines in the show. The original timeline is when Royal shoots his dad by accident, which is the same timeline that Joy altered when she asked young Royal for help. Now, Royal has the memories of the events of the new past. It's also the same timeline where Perry jumps into the hole. The second timeline is also when Royal shoots his father by accident, but this time Joy has not followed the path (or maybe not yet). It's just Perry coming back while his alternate self is killed in the fight. But for me personally, I would not be surprise if there was only one main timeline where different events are all occurring in different point in time. Past, Present, and Future with one altering each other. The characters' memories are just not yet in sync with all the events that had occurred.

How did Perry just get back to that same moment where his life got twisted in the fight 🤔

new fave show excited for whats to come

not every story needs to answer questions before it ends its honestly better that outer range has left us with some more questions it leaves ppl wanting more and it leaves it open to continue in many other ways

Thought the first 5 episodes were really strong, but then when the climax ramped up in the last two, I found myself more confused than captivated.

I find this series to be more compelling than pretty much anything in the last 5 yrs

This show reminds me so much of what Lost creator J.J. Abrams said in a TED Talk about "The Mystery Box" - the philosophy behind his writing in Lost and other projects. When there are too many Mystery Boxes though, I start to feel like the plot is making a fool out of me by expecting me to follow so many mysterious elements that often turn out to be red herrings.

I don’t know if I think the show is dealing in multiverse but more showing how events can change on the timeline. Like throwing a rock into water and the ripples change the flow.

I thought the whole Joy story in season was the best part. The rest of it was just Autumn raising hell.

After last episode of season 2 , I looked to my wife but said nothing. Needed a moment to process the last 15 or so minutes. Well, it's next morning and we're still trying to figure this out. Putting the storyline aside for just a moment, I am so enthralled by the acting and how so much emotion is shown by the look on their faces without a word said aloud.

Great summary of a great season! My only (minor) complaint is: Kashmir was released in 1975, after Falling Star traveled in 1972, so it can't be her favorite song. Silly I know, but a pointless error. Or was this Kashmir in a different timeline!

We now on a multiverse!

I absolutely adore this show, a real sleeper hit that I hope more people watch. We need a season 3 at least to wrap things up, The show is really great at accelerating the story at a good speed through it's episodes so one season could do it, Biggest thing is they need to avoid creating too many more questions and focus on answering the many current ones and I can't wait☺️

Watched both seasons something kept telling me it was going to get evil… but just got more unpredictable instead…. Can’t wait for a new season.

“Multiverse” is the laziest writing crutch there is. A “multiverse” possibly exists but everything that happens is the result of a causal loop. Autumn’s name is a bootstrap paradox. Modern Royal doesn’t remember meeting Perry decades ago. Royal doesn’t remember meeting Joy but Joy caused him to jump in the hole. This show isn’t making any sense.

Did you notice in the scene when Autumn writes on the walls with a marker that she grabs Royal’s face and…nothing happens…no time shift…no spinning stars. I love this show but have a feeling the inconsistencies will be like the “black goo” in the Aliens franchise: no logical continuity to the point where the audience just doesn’t care because it feels random.

I think its a fantastic show- you have to live in the questions and hope there will be a satisfactory resolution

this is what I think, I think we have been subtley watching a multiverse the whole time, Ive noticed a few things, starting with the biggest one when Royal finds the sherriff, He keeps switching from having and carrying a hat to not carrying a hat, I need to go back and double check the rest of the episodes, but I think its multiple time lines that are being edited together, and not just with the flashes, visions they want us to see but from shot to shot the show is literally different versions of itself

Halfway through season 2 I was just along for the ride.

I don’t think it’s a multiverse as much as they’re rewriting/changing time. Joy injecting herself into the timeline just ended up having Royal shoot his dad a different way.

Loved it

I absolutely love this show. I think Josh Brolin's directorial sense is really good. The pacing of the show is excellent and it keeps me engaged by going places I didn't really expect. Biggest questions for season 3 are: - Where/when did Amy travel to? Obviously the future based off the limited glimpse we get but how far forward? - Where tf does Wayne go after jumping in?? - Are there now branches of time with different timelines due to Perry's decisions of not killing the Tillerson brother in the parking lot? Where did his dead body end up after he threw "himself" in the hole? - Will this be a 3 or 4 season affair overall? I ask this question because I believe it's absolutely pertinent for the show to be renewed. 3 Seasons seems like a perfect amount of investment a studio like Amazon wants to put into it's material. I hope that they are able to advance the story to the ultimate scene where Royal confronts the large government presence around the hole they tease in the first episode and second to last episode of this season. That very short scene has kept us all on edge the whole show! I am hoping that since they have that ending in mind, Amazon gives them the go ahead to conclude the story and not leave us all hanging in limbo.

I LOVE season 2!!!! I’ll be anxiously awaiting season 3 😬😩

How come Perry Abbott is alive, when he killed his past self? Shouldn't he disappear too, given that all the timelines are merging into one without creating another timelines?

All episodes have captured my interest and I look forward to some additional clarity or finality if there's a season 3 ever made. I'd rather they didn't draw it out with extraneous horse manure for another 6-7 episodes, but if the show makes any money this season, the cash cow could open up the " hole" once more.

I loved season 2 !!! Very entertaining and intriguing. I want to see more, I want to know more. More more more!

this series was first relased in the aftermath of the wildly successful Netflix series “Dark” so I expect it will follow That series moreor less through a convoluted multiversal temporal trek and wind up erasing itself by preventing Royal from killing his father.

I loved it!

I binge watch both seasons. This show was epic

I love this show ! It’s great 👍 please please please season 3 to wrap it up ! It was a step in the right direction for sure !

It was hard to enjoy watching, just spinning it's wheels a lot it seemed. The whole time I watched I just kept thinking "Why don't I just rewatch Dark"

I couldn’t get past episode one season two which is why I searched this up on KZfaq super frustrating and stupid…. Thanks for the explanation.

You said "flash forward" in your explanation, made me think of the Sci Fi series Flash Forward. I wanted to like that and I want to like Outer Range but not totally there. I'm not big into Sci Fi and liked things to be neatly put in it's box, probably the main problem. The show is ok, unfortunately I would probably watch season 3, think I'm committed at this point.

The Royal in the new perry timline definitely gotta know perrys secret. But hey , for all we know, this was probably a timeline where the Abbotts WIN

"SPOILERS..." River song... I love this show, it's like Doctor Who Meets Yellowstone. my favorite so far is joy going back in time, then after four years going to rescue Flower armed with her Glock from the 21st century. it was like something out of Star Trek. just started season 2 but so far it's been a banger!!!

with Royal and Joy i do believe Royal just missed remembered the details around his father's death. I could imagine for a 9-year-old killing your own father is a traumatic experience so they would make something up to make themself feel better and start believing the lie.

this show is wild, i love it!

I think some people are good with not getting answers on some shows and are ok with pondering the mysteries. I thoroughly enjoy this as it is quite reflective of life. It also reminds me of The Leftovers. It works in my opinion for this show. Of course there are some shows I don’t think it works for. lost is one of those shows where leaving too much to mystery did nto work and was utterly frustrating. I think it’s also about which components are being left to mystery and which are not.

Yes, you ARE talking crazy!

Both seasons were decent. There are plenty of strings to pull and ways the director can go with the show, and that would determine whether season 2 was good, amazing, or a nothing burger. The only thing I can really be thankful with the end of S2 is that we no longer have to tolerate the over the top scenes with Billy!

The lack of any answers this season is a bad sign. There were some cool moments during the season, though. I got the sense that Royal's memory/history reset when he interacted with Joy after she returned from the past. And Wayne connecting to his younger self across time was interesting. But a few cool moments isn't enough. It may already be too late to establish the world and it's rules properly. What a waste.

This season reminds me of the Netflix show “Dark”

Season 2 was great, don’t be in a hurry for this show to end.

I like the multiverse/multi-dimensional angle. It opens it up to every possible outcome and if one is not satisfied with their life in one they can try another. In fact, we are probably experiencing that in reality ourselves, only we only access it through dreams and visions. Of course, if the black stuff could transport one to another dimension then for sure there would be a reason to harvest it, use it, and ultimately make a business out of it. That is the American way, after all.

Autumn is prescribed strong medication for some mental issues…and looks to be bipolar if not schizophrenic. So you may be right in her feeling she’s connected to a higher being.

Its definitely a mindbender, and well acted too. I hope this won't be another "Lost" Series wh a Final Episode requiring an Acid Trip to comprehend.😮

i actually loved season 2. just because we dont have answers doesnt mean it wasn't good.

S2 was unsatisfying for me. I actually did not realize E7 was the finale. Most seasonal streaming series have 8 episodes. I searched for an E8 release date and found this video. I do like the show but I expected at least some plot resolution or answers in a season finale. All I got was more questions. If Prime doesn’t green light season 3 (which they have not yet), this show will likely be unsatisfying for most.

I wonder if Perry is now in a different reality (where Amy is safe) and if he will collide with the new arrival, Wayne Tillerson. 🤔

they don’t have this show planned out… it’s going to end up like _Lost,_ if it even makes it to a third season.

I think the writers shouldve had perry die in the past. Young royal wouldve been crushed while young cece would've been indifferent which is how theyre introduced to us when young royal had to kill the cow. Future royal would know perrys fate the entire show and we couldve got a great scene of him explaining to cece the man that died in the past was perry

I kind of feel like this is going the way of that show Lost. Like maybe they don't even have an idea what they want to do with this show and are just winging it because none of it makes sense and eventually they'll start to lose audience and just half ass the end.

I actually enjoyed season 2 hope season 3 is in the works

Now do SUGAR ?!

Season 2 was even better, preparing us for the meaning of the hole in season 3, I suspect.

I watched season 2 thinking there were 8 episodes and was pissed when I realized there were only 7. Dammit guys.

We have a story, events in a chronological. We have a time hole. Charactures went into the time hole. We don't know what effect their trip in the time hole had on their memory. He do know that Perry killed Trevor. Perry took a trip in the time hole & got out stopped himself from killing Trevor & Perry got himself killed for his good deed. Perry threw his dead body in the time hole. Season 3 could re-tell the same story started in season 1 & see how the charactures trips to the time hole affect the outcome of the story. Or they could continued the story. Patty still knows about the mineral. In terms of memory both Perry & Joy remember. Perry changing events would that be a re-tell or a re shuffle & continue. That's if there will be a season 3. Season 2 only explained Autum. The time hole or river of time is just there, because it hasn't been studied yet.

I love mystery shows, but become annoyed when the questions multiply with little to no answers. I had to stop watching this show at S2 E3. After watching Think Story’s review, I made the right choice.

I think and old Royal will eventually go back and tell young Royal the future and he can be ready the second time around.

I don’t think this show will ever answer anything. Seems to me like they just keep dangling the answers in front of you to make more seasons
