I'm only getting through Outer Range a half episode at a time during breaks, but it is so patient and Josh Brolin's lines are deliciously intense. There's one table prayer early on that's just pitch-perfect in its descent into fury--and then there's the menace and control in the delivery of a line like:
"There are no Fritos in that hole, Karl."
Which few could growl to perfection like Josh Brolin. Don't know where the series is going, but I'm enjoying his gruff masterclass in the role! #CoSoTV
@MLClark this post makes me want to watch it.
I tend not to recommend series until I've finished at least a full season, but this one's got a speculative vibe not unlike the German series Dark, if it were set on a ranch in Wyoming. Themes of loss and the yawning nihilism of trying to live with any hope or decency in a broken world--all set against a very pretty backdrop.
@MLClark Great series. Very bingeable. Just finished watching it. Hoping for a season 3!
Oh good! Glad to know it doesn't disappoint.
@MLClark It was a little slow the first couple episodes but then it got really interesting. Keep watching 😊
(Apropos of nothing, in my next life I want a ranch, and the ability to pull off a beard and hard-bitten, suffer-no-fools stoic gaze under a wide-brimmed hat. I'll take care of the rest!)
