In every episode there are at least two moments that make me roll my eyes at the ridiculous behaviour of characters BUT this show is still entertaining and we looked forward to every episode, because it did keep you hanging on to see the outcome. Give it a try!

The first 3/4 of the show seemed to be silly soapy drama in the mountains... the teenage girls inviting trouble like fools...the girlfight ...silly.

But then, in what seemed like a casual exchange, the entire dynamic and direction of the show changed...now the way evil lurks in the seemingly benign corners of a given community, the additional layer of mystery we didn't expect and the terrifying danger of those victimized makes this a show to watch. I think it will only get better from here.

If you get into it expecting a great series then you'll probably get disappointed. It's one of those shows I started watching as a pastime and just kept on, plus I had only seen Katheryn Winnick in Vikings and loved her character so I wanted to see what she's like in something else. The idea of the show's decent, starts as a drama involving minor league sex traffickers and a pair of private investigators looking for them. It's not the most captivating but it's a decent show. There are some unconvincing scenes that just seemed disingenuous and effortless from the writers; and some of the actors performances are over the top at times. Some dialogue's also painfully predictable and the plot and/or characters often get riddled with silly decisions. There are of course several side plots added to the main one, I am impressed with how brave they are with adding or changing stories instead of just dragging one mystery all season. I was surprised how quickly the story developed, solved the mysteries halfway through the season so I was curious to what the remaining 8 episodes were going to be about since most shows often go for 10 episode only seasons; I was amazed that the story kept building, there aren't any filler episodes. I hate daytime cop shows because they don't take time to develop the plot, they find the villain, chase him down and have him arrested all in one episode; Big sky actually takes the time.

That's Big Sky's best feature in my opinion. I also liked that some episodes ending on cliff hangers or twists to get you enticed for the next. It's one of those shows you might enjoy better if you get invested and have no high expectations getting into it. Despite it not being that great, I still think it's an okay show, something to watch when you have nothing else to.

As far as the overall production goes, the pilot was well directed, has a nice country setting, and great cinematography. Casting and performances are excellent, and it's good to see John Carroll Lynch and Ragnar Lothbrok's wife in Vikings, Katheryn Winnick. I'm hoping this series doesn't have too many melodramatics mixed in with soap-opera romances, and sticks to the story at hand. The ending was certainly a surprise and leaves an entirely new dynamic from the initially perceived plot-line. I'll adjust my review and rating if need be as the season progresses. So for the pilot, it's an 8/10 from me.

It's definitely got it's issues. Sometimes I find myself asking..."why am I watching this?" However, the fact that I do indeed keep on watching must mean something. However, this, like many other shows, just seems intent to shoot itself in the foot. Show two episodes, then off for 3 weeks, show another 2 and then off for 3 weeks again. That's no way to keep an audiences interested.

I dont leave reviews often but after seeing all the negative reviews I felt I had to give my input. I don't get it. I found the pilot episode riveting and got more so as it went along. Shocking twists and edge of the seat scenes. Great acting. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

I really like this show but to release only five episodes and take a two month break......why? I just asked my wife "what was the name of that show we really liked about the kidnapping?" "What ever happened to that? Was it canceled?" It seems to me it's a good way to get people to lose interest.

The first 5 episodes were good. But after that, it was like they were pushing it. The ending was anticlimactic. And felt like a Tesla ad.

I liked the first episode because it actually trolls the audience into thinking that the main character is the main character.

It's well written and has twists and turns that make you excited for the next episode

I'm not sure what's happening anymore. Random stories without a common purpose. Three weeks between episodes . No intrigue. I'm losing interest. Disappointed.

The pilot was very promising and even shocking towards the end of the episode. Then I read the reviews and prepared myself for the disappointment but what happened is that I was into the 4th or 5th episode and still was wondering when it will finally come.

I've just finished the 8th episode, we can say it's kind of a season endig and I still loved it.

Yes, this show also has the usual "don't do that stupid thing" moments but first of all. If all the vitims were clever thinking masterminds outsmarting the vilains, no such movies would last more than 20 minutes. Second, these really weren't that unrealistic decisions the characters made.

I binge-watched the first 8 episodes. John Carrol Lynch' performance alone was worth it. He's 10/10. But everone else was decent, for example I loved to see Katheryn Winnick in a different role, I think she nailed it. The scenery was beautiful, I laughed and I even wept sometimes. Brian Geraghty's character was creepy, disturbing but you also kinda feel sorry for him.

I really don't know what the haters were looking for that made them so disappointed. I definitely recommend it. It's a perfect entertainment nothing more nothing less.

Acting bad, writing bad, characters bad. Only thing that saved this show and had me watching is the story. It's pretty interesting and I want to know how it turns out. That's the only reason I'm sticking around. Oh and the main sheriff is pretty good though. He's the best actor in the whole show.

After a somewhat promising first episode, the show becomes hilarious.

The script is catastrophic, the dialogues are so unrealistic that the show resembles a parody.

After a somewhat watchable first episode, the show goes in a predictable direction and becomes tedious. The third episode is especially hilarious, so unrealistic that it really acts like a parody.

Three episodes are quite enough to conclude that it is not worth wasting time on this disaster.

Every police officer in the show is either lazy and stupid or evil, and Ronald's mother is a total caricature, but the other characters are equally hilarious. Their behavior is completely unrealistic, and the dialogues only confirm that those who wrote this show had no intention of entertaining the viewer at all.

The cast isn't bad, but that's it, everything else is a disaster.

Writing is pathetic, the entertainment industry has nothing to do with entertainment anymore. Another show that the writers managed to destroy.

There is definitely no need to waste time on this disaster.

Great start with a shocking surprise ending in the pilot episode which I for one did not see coming at all. Prostitutes as well as young school aged girls have gone missing in every state for many years now and if you have ever watched TV crime shows such as Forensic Files, Dateline and/or 20/20 , there are always clues left behind which sometimes lead to an arrest and ultimately to a conviction, but there are also many open investigations which have remained open for decades.

In the Big Sky pilot episode we witness a young prostitute at a truck stop being abducted, as well as two sisters who were on a road trip when there car suddenly breaks down late at night. (No spoiler here, this scene was advertised a thousand times in the series preview commercials for the past few months).

So the chase has begun to find out what happened to the two missing sisters who were expected to arrive in Montana hours earlier but they never showed up. The young man Justin Hoyt (Gage Marsh) who was waiting for his girlfriend Danielle Sullivan (Natalie Alyn Lind) and her sister Grace (Jade Pettyjohn) to show up at his place is worried so he calls his dad Cody Hoyt (Ryan Phillippe) and mom Jenny (Katheryn Winnick) who own a Private Investigation firm who jump into action as they know how important the first 24 hours are in finding missing persons.

The private investigator Cody Hoyt is currently seperated from his wife and has been romantically involved with his other female detective Cassie Dewell (Kylie Bunbury) who also works with his wife Jenny who is a former policewoman. So there is marriage strife at the Hoyt detective agency as well as some uncomfortable moments between the two female detectives. As all these relationship issues are going on in the office, Cody Hoyt hits the road to see if he can assist his son Justin in finding Justin's missing girlfriend Danelle and her sister Grace.

There is a state trooper named Rick Legarski played by the always impressive John Carroll Lynch who would rather be out helping motorists on the highways he patrols rather than spending any quality time with his wife as they are now empty nester parents.

This pilot episode is a great start which had an even greater ending for the pilot episode. I hope the series which includes truckers, prostitutes, state patrolman, private investigators, missing women, and kidnappers leads us up and down the highway with more intrigue and surprises.

I give this the pilot episode a perfect 10 out of 10 IMDB rating.

Watching it just for Jensen Ackles and how amazing an actor he is. Donno is my favorite character as well as Deputy popstar ;) Best casting decision ever, to cast Jensen as the sheriff. He looks so damn good in that role!

Season 1 was really good.

Season 2 was okayish except for Donno who is absolutely an amazing character.

Season 3 is really interesting. Maybe because it has Jensen in it.

Perfect blend of action, drama and comedy just from Jensen Ackles! He is literally the best actor ever and any character he plays automatically becomes the best character in any series or movies.

Must watch for Jensen's fans!

This show believes the audience has no indication of any intelligence, but for some reason it's still watchable. Good show to create a drinking game... everytime something idiotic happens you have a drink, alcohol poisoning by the end of the show.

I wasn't expecting to enjoy the show with the 6.8 rating and some harsh reviews I was way wrong. Big Sky has one of the best soundtracks ever and I really enjoy thrillers. John Caroll Lynch is one of my favorite actors has been for awhile I think he's worth watching alone and so is the exceptional writing! I love craving movies/shows than most others don't it's satisfying.
