Anyone Else Watching "Night Sky" on Prime?

I'm on Episode 3 and getting hooked. It's eerie, the casting is good; enjoying Cissy Spacek and JK Simmons.

Earlier, OhioJoe posted the trailer:

Chai Hansen, Adam Bartley, Julieta Zylberberg, Rocío Hernández, Kiah McKirnan, Beth Lacke, Stephen Louis Grush, and Cass Buggé co-star. The series was shot in Illinois.

but it does feel like On Golden Pond with a space gate. I have had 20 years of declining mental acuity between my grandma and my ma so I am not so sure I want more of it in my escapist time. I stopped watching half way through the second episode.

The acting is top notch if you enjoy the subject matter though. Both actors always bring their A game. It is a little weird that the high schooler from Carrie is now on the decline. Carrie was my first great horror movie experience. Guess that accounts for my lifetime love of horror.

It really needs a second season to tie up all those loose ends. I'm left wondering what was the point of most of the characters.

I quit watching while the RG was here, home on business. He had other series he's been watching. I'm going to finish this, though.
