What to Know

Critics Consensus

Big Sky's shaky setup doesn't do it many favors, but viewers who can push through may find its fast-paced, twisty mystery compelling enough.

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Apr 28, 2021
Serves up a network-TV potboiler that does at least give us Lynch in a role he can really sink his teeth into, as well as a Taser-loving kidnapper whose relationship with his domineering mother would make Norman Bates blush. Go to Full Review Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 24, 2021
2/5
Big Sky lurches from wacky to tacky. If this is Disney's opening salvo in a campaign to conquer streaming for grown-ups, Netflix can rest easy. Go to Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian Feb 23, 2021
1/5
There is nothing wrong with trash. But this is just bad TV. Regressive, derivative, horribly written, filled with one-dimensional characters. Go to Full Review Terry Terrones Colorado Springs Gazette Jun 24, 2021

Despite an unclear path and some uncomfortable moments, I need to see how this dramatic thriller plays out. Go to Full Review Jeanmarie Tan The New Paper (Singapore) Mar 24, 2021
3/5
Big Sky is not up there with the greats, but there is certainly enough space in TV land for yet another watchable entry into the genre. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Roman L @Roman-L Mar 13, 2026 Watching this show makes me feel like I'm in my trailer wearing underwear, drinking beer, and dreaming of a better life. See more Nyzir H @Nyzir Jan 20, 2026 It’s horrible. All the show is about is girl kidnapping, girl kidnapping, girl kidnapping. I believe the director is sexist towards women or has some weird torture kink towards women. It was pretty cool at first but just became sloppy with random introductions of characters with NOOO substance. See more Cosmin T @CosminT Jan 5, 2026 the movie is not a wow, but decent. lots of plot twistes, beautiful women, beautiful scenery. the story is somewhat believable. but... there is propaganda that spoils it badly for me i'm not a inclusivity and diversity fan, however i can live with one of the mainish characters being a crossdresser. he is ok. surely there is girl on girl action, man on man becoze we have to see it. bleah! however all the white men are crazies and villians. only natives or other than white are somewhat decent people. all white males are scum, liars, murderers and so on. only the he/she dude is virtous. the female villains are all white. why? one of the two main female characters is white. shocker! there is the feminist propaganda where women lecture about how their ancestors were badly treated, especially the black women. i would have gave it a 5 as it's decent, but all this propaganda and lecturing is spoiling it for me. they are relentless with telling the majority what to think. See more john n @RT94582971 Oct 28, 2025 Movie started out pretty good, then got out of hand. Two private eyes getting involved with cops. They were doing things the cops would never allow them to do. They were stupid and doing stupid things. When the second season started it was worse. I stopped watching after that. See more Ellie B @RT55732133 Jan 20, 2025 Big Sky is an incredible show with a gripping storyline, stunning scenery, and well-developed characters that keep you hooked from start to finish. The twists and suspense are perfectly executed, and the blend of drama and mystery makes it truly unique. However, I was a bit disappointed that they didn’t explain why certain characters left the show. It felt like their sudden disappearances left loose ends, which could have been addressed to give more closure. See more Nancy D @RT59819041 Dec 25, 2024 Ending of the first episode was enough for me to stop watching. Not interested. See more Read all reviews
