At first I was the same, but then I was like... meh... another weird show. Good song at the end and... I didn't know who Imogen Poots was, but had to look it up after that name. Her full name is Imogen Gay Poots. C'mon... those are just cruel parents.
Well. The song would seem to indicate that whatever is happening at the ranch is likely about to end. I just don't know what that is. But it's some kind of forbidden relationship that is broken, likely with consequences. Second, the guy trying to buy the land will not like the Postman. My first guess is that this is like a Dante Inferno scenario, where he discovers an entrance to hell or limbo. That would also tie into the Angel song. But I don't see that as the kind of thing that would fall into the topsey turvey situation the rancher seems to imply he has run into. Hell is not topsey turvey. We know how it works in theory. Brolin seems to be the one on the journey and discovery, and not caught up in the problem. So not sure what he will discover. I can't quite put a finger on this one. The girl also appears to be on a journey of discovery. Not appearing to know anything. But I did notice she's always well lit. Almost heavenly. So who already knows what is going on or is involved already is my question. I feel like all these chracters are caught in the middle.
Bison that was walking in to the ranch gates had an arrow or small spear sticking out of it's right side.
After digesting the show a bit, I’d say it’s very well done so far. Royal is a very complex main character with lots of inferred mysterious backstory and the other characters are well done as well. The rich neighbor ranch is spot on for villainy and the weirdo hippie chick Autumn is perfect in her role. If you liked Dark or Tales From the Loop, this is right up your alley. Weekly watch for me.
I did enjoy Dark, the Netflix show, yet I'm not quite getting those vibes from the trailer. I'm just on the fence right now.
I quit after the main character had the talk with the hippy girl at her camp site. Maybe I ill give it another shot since I like Josh Brolin and the hippy girl is hawt and hopefully I see a lot more of her.
It was building up for me... I guess it was the "hey, I got secrets... you wanna talk about your secrets" line from her. That followed the "creepy hole in the ground" and the buffalo with the arrows scenes. Guess I need to be more open to the "Lost/Stranger Things" aspect of the show...
I'll take a wild stab that the blonde girl is the daughter he had after having an affair with his son's wife. The son likely already knew about the void and pushed his wife in when he discovered she was having an affair, but she lived, gave birth to the girl, who then came back through the void to find her dad. I don't know who shot at him in the future, but if it was his son, that would explain a lot. Either way, he started this entire feud between the families with the affair, and when she went missing, he thought nobody would find out, but they all found out in the future, and the whole town wants him dead. Suspect that the evil farmer's son came back from the future too, told his father about the hole in the land that would eventually appear, and that's how he knows things are about to happen. It could be a Hancock situation, where they just feud over and over and over again, but think this is patient zero for the feud and this is the origin point. I'm seeing this now as a Hatfield McCoy Feud with time travel. There is still a heavy religious overtone though. And that has to figure into the equation. This could be rationale in the end to explain how Jesus might have risen from the dead. That's probably stretching it too far, but thought of that on Easter.
