What I’m Watching: Big Sky (Season Premiere)

Big Sky: Season 2, Episode 1 “Wakey, Wakey” (B-)

This is a show that I started watching last year with family when it premiered which I never thought was all that good but does remain pretty watchable in terms of its plot developments, ridiculous as they may be. The ending shot from season one of Cassie driving off in a police cruiser didn’t amount to much, though she’s still set on making sure that those responsible for shooting Jenny pay. Mark isn’t on duty anywhere but just as committed to the truth, even if he’s a bit wary of the lengths that Cassie seems willing to go to in order to find it. Discovering the trooper’s dead body with a pair of pliers in his neck and photos of Cassie and her family showed that this isn’t close to over, and that’s not the only problem that’s going to pull her in in a way that she doesn’t expect. Missing money never leads good places, and these teenagers couldn’t have made a correct choice in what to do when the found it, but now they’re going to find themselves in a particularly precarious situation. While it seemed that much of last season’s antics would be replaced by new plotlines like this drug murder and Jenny’s newfound relationship, that doesn’t appear to be the case at all. I’m a big fan of John Carroll Lynch and thought he was the best part of season one, but how exactly is Rick still alive, and why is holding Ronald in a cage on a farm? We’ll find out, but I’m not sure it’s going to make a lot of sense.
