If time is a river, the “Outer Range” waters are still cold and challenging, but the various branches of the stream and the unpredictable manner in which things flow are always deep and absorbing stuff worthy of your attention.
“Outer Range” emphasized drama over sci-fi in Season 1, but Season 2, all of which is available now, cranks up both the time-travel-portal aspect and the outrageous soapiness. The hole is less a profound mystery and more an incredibly handy mechanism for creating bananas telenovela moments. .... But oh, what fun. What menace. What a total bonanza. “Outer Range” has so much to give, even if some of that is time-loop baloney.

The bigger leaps that Outer Range takes and the more expansive story it tells are only part of what makes this second season even better than the already solid first. Sometimes, the best television is just about a bearded Josh Brolin on horseback looking into a black hole that has upended his character’s life and everyone in his orbit.
Each of the seven episodes speed by, but the final one let me hoping that Prime renews this one pronto to tie up its many threads.
Season 2 takes a few missed steps toward the confounding, but commits deeper to the show's own weirdness, which is appreciated.
Outer Range season two 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.
Red flags of indifference are all over Outer Range Season 2. The flat lighting. The flimsy historical settings. The crude CGI inserts. The cringeworthy performances from the supporting cast. The overall effect is akin to syndicated sci-fi pulp from the mid-’90s—which has a certain shoddy backlot charm but is hardly the prestige drama this show was when it began.
