Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Big Sky - TV Series - Anyone Watch It?

The VarmintWife and I were excited for last nights opening episode of the TV series "Big Sky".
We had taped it and watched it commercial free - we both gave it a somewhat enthusiastic thumbs up.
If I keep watching these various TV series showing so much murder, mayhem and maniacal Montanans in them I will be afraid to go outside pretty soon!
Anyway I enjoyed it and was surprised by some of the plot twists.

I lasted about 10 minutes. Not my cup of tea. Won't watch it again.

My wife recorded it, it was better than I expected. C.J. Box is one of the producers and the story is based on one of his book series. Loved the ending scene.

Lvmiker: Mike r is the book series called "Big Sky"?
Wasn't aware of that.

I liked it. I tend to like David Kelley's work & we share the exact birth date. We also watched the NCIS season premier and wondered what that opening scene was all about.

I'm not sure of the series name I just caught it during the credits. It was different from the series w/ the Wy. game warden.

Not on a series just one of his books - The Highway.

Heeler: Thank you for that - I will keep an eye out for that title.

Watching it now! It started out pretty crappy, but is getting better. If they can make it anywhere near as good as the books, it will be a good series! memtb

Never heard of such a thing.

Books or tv?

I like that scene in Crocodile Dundee when he turns on the TV in that fancy New York hotel.

I watched it last night. It’s fugking weird. I thought the lot lizard that got kidnapped just seemed......off. Well I did a little googling, and I don’t think I’ll be watching it anymore.

For all you guys raving about it, I suggest you do the same.

Why? What should we Google?

Read the books, know the plot, it's kind boring to me.
My wife liked it.

Basically the critter playing the lot lizard is some kinda perverted freakshow. In real life and on the show. Going forward it’s going to be a big part of the plot, making this shift as mainstream as possible.

Not a fan of CJ. When he writes about guns, he tries to sound knowledgeable but spews BS. Talking about "the 6.5 Creedmoor Magnum" and such.

Thanks I didn't find that.

The second link was hard to read.
All the pandering to the poor confused bastards makes it impossible to follow.
He/she. Them? All used about the same person.


I don't hate them, more sympathy or disdane
Life must be a bitch, when you are that messed up.

Heck, most average people have self doubt or some confidence issue at some point.
Can you imagine how screwed up they are?


Then, society comes along and promotes the deal.
WTF? If they need anything, it's help.


I think I sent that link to my wife. Tried anyway
Doubt she will want to watch anymore.

Was literally like 3 clicks. Search the title of the show, the cast shows up. Click the actor playing the whore. That brings up a plethora of articles. Abominable, disgusting fugking shidt. On mainstream tv.

Wife had it on last night.. What a laugh.. Horrible - all the way around..

Wonder how many they sucked in with the title “borrowed” from the A.B. Guthrie classic?

I got sucked into this thread, so that’s one.
