(ESP-ENG) Amazon Prime lo está logrando, esta vez con Night Sky // Amazon Prime is making it happen, this time with Night Sky!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.
I just came from watching Outer Range, which belongs to the same house, to end up watching a series that may be better than the one starring Josh Brolin. The truth is that I didn't know what to expect from this sci-fi drama but when I saw the two main actors I had no doubt to start watching it, I'm talking about Sissy Spacek and J.K. Simmons, two eminences of cinema and Oscar winners; there was no way that at least the level of acting we would see would be bad and friends, it was not. Here you will see two great actors perform brilliantly to the point that you become so captivated by their feelings that you come to make them your own.
I am very surprised by the quality of the content that Amazon Prime is offering us, they have always given us good series but it seems that lately they have put their foot on the accelerator which makes me happy because it gives this world more competitiveness and forces the other platforms to do better and better things. According to me HBO still rules in terms of quality, followed closely by Amazon and Apple TV itself. Netflix will always be the one that prefers quantity over quality, with its exceptions and Hulu with a couple of good series does not yet reach the level of these. But well, what we came to, Night Sky is a very good and curious science fiction story involving travel through portals, lost planets, secret societies and of course family dramas, as has become customary. So let's see what this new story is all about...
This is the story of the York couple, Franklin and Irene (J.K. Simmons, Sissy Spacek) who live a fairly quiet life away from the big cities in a small and calm town, as is their life. Since they are family the Yorks have had several sorrows that have marked a little their way of acting and being but it is also influenced by the big secret they keep in their backyard, one that they have been hiding it from everyone for years. It turns out that buried deep in their garden there is a "ship" or "secret chamber" whatever you want to call it that inexplicably teleports them to a lonely, strange and deserted planet.
At first there are no problems because they are already used to this fact to the point that it is part of their daily routine to make a trip there but suddenly everything changes thanks to an event that puts the York's day to day life in another plane and situation. It turns out that suddenly a strange young man, very mysterious and clearly with many secrets kept, appears in the life of this pair of grandparents (because they are grandparents) and everything starts to be a little uphill for them because they are not used to deal with this kind of things. In time they also realize that this "camera" hides many more things than they imagine, which in the long run will bring more difficulties for them.
There are many, many more details that I prefer you to discover as you watch the series so that you are surprised and get to the point of not understanding anything of what is happening as it happened to me. The truth is that the plot traps a lot, it is very enigmatic because something is always happening but you do not deduce very well what it is, there may be a conversation going on but there are other things happening and you think about them and that's how you go possibly putting together this puzzle. It also grabs you because there is an important emotional charge and that is thanks to the family context of the Yorks, it is part of the drama, and logically the fiction part that is curious and weird.
But behind all that and for these stories to go as they should there are more things, there are family tragedies and a secret society that seems to pull more strings than one as a viewer might think, I say no more. It is not a series with big action scenes or a lot of pomposity because everything is focused on the relationships that the plot itself brings together and in this case it is more than enough because we get everything we need. A nosy neighbor, a family on the other side of the world and the mysterious young man will be the pieces for the whole framework to come to life and to understand this great story.
The great added value of this series for me is undoubtedly its characters, but why? - Because in a very short time you realize that they ALL have secrets, they all seem to hide something from the biggest to the smallest and it is that intrigue for wanting to discover those details that keeps the series in constant movement, that never bores you, that you never lose interest, knowing that there is something there that doesn't quite fit. And based on the characters there are also the relationships between them, it is very interesting the journey we see in them because they vary a lot, for better or worse, some mature others not so much so that the actions against these changes are those that ultimately guide a little also the course of the story.
Talking entirely about the characters we have the one who for me takes the show, Sissy Spacek, what an incredible way of acting this actress has. She has a very meaningful character with a very big emotional burden on her shoulders and that reflects it in a very convincing way on screen, at times she can be very vulnerable but at other times she can be the most fearless and fearless woman in the world; that duality in her personality is what makes this story a roller coaster at times. Irene is sensitive, loving and patient but when she has to take the important step she doesn't hesitate and does it. Great character of Spacek.
And on the other side we have Franklin, who is the rock of the relationship. He is just like her in the sense of being concerned, of being attentive to her but always with a hint of distrust before the possible things that could hurt his wife, he is always one step ahead. But he is also extremely stubborn and that clash between the two motivated by that makes the relationship more real and in the end you empathize more with her. We must not forget that the secret they both have kept, whether they want to or not, wears both physically and mentally and we see that clearly reflected throughout the series.
There are secondary characters, Jude (Chai Romruen) and a mother and daughter who will also set the pace of the plot. All three are important, in their own way, but I don't want to give too many details or clues about them; but yes, they will be cornerstones in this story. In general the casting was very good, you may not know the vast majority of actors but it must be said that they do a very good job, all convincing and guided by the two movie stars of which I spoke earlier.
In conclusion we have a very good series where we will see science fiction told from a point of view a little less commercial than we are used to seeing it. I would think that we will have a second season since its ending was an extremely open one and with many loose ends, there are things that were not entirely clear. That motivates because there is the possibility of continuing to enjoy an extraordinary series. Good drama, good performances, there is suspense, intrigue, all ingredients to make you never stop watching it.
I give it a solid 9/10 because it is one of those series that NOBODY is talking about and you don't understand why. I never thought I would find what I saw when I started with the first chapter and the level of surprise was great but a surprise always for the better, I really liked it a lot. You can find it on Amazon Prime, you already know that, and it consists of 8 chapters of about 50-55 minutes each. I leave you the trailer so you can take a look at it.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it.

I'll wait for them to make an official announcement if it has a second season. You say the ending is open ended. I'll wait. It's better than Outer Range... sure I'll watch it, but I'll hold out for the second season, I don't want to be left wanting more and have to wait a long time.

Ese siempre es el riesgo de ver una serie nueva. El tema es que después se me acumulan todas y creo que es más difícil ponerse al día.
Pero si, ese sentimiento de saber que una serie buena no la renuevan es de lo peor...
¡Enhorabuena!
