    • Trivia
      The foreign language scenes of episodes two and three were filmed in the province of Jujuy, in northwestern Argentina, where Jesuit monks had a preponderant presence a few centuries ago, in fact, the 'traveler' played by Piotr Adamczyk repeats "Ad Maioren Dei Gloriam" the motto of the order, in addition, the location is very close to the southern end of the "Capac Ñam" or "Camino Real del Inca" (Royal Road of the Inca), the main road of the Inca Empire that went from Quito (Ecuador ) to Tucumán (Argentina) via Machu Picchu in Peru (more than 3,200 miles or 5,200 km)

    Come On Ya'll It's Way Too Early To Tell
    Night Sky isn't an easy genre, and after viewing the first episode, my guess is that it will likely infuriate some viewers, bore a few others, confuse many, but also delight people like me that thrive on "Interstellar themes." After only one episode I decided to roll the dice and gamble where this series is headed. I think the direction might be somewhere between "Cocoon" (1985) and "Contact" (1997). And while those aforementioned films were beautifully done, they didn't have two veteran Oscar winning actors: Sissy Spacek and J. K. Simmons. And this alone may be what affords this new series a significant opportunity to succeed.

    From what I can surmise, Night Sky is about an elderly couple with a secret so outrageous and incredible that it would blow away even the world's brightest astronomers and scientists. The couple are both very ill with their own respective maladies. Yet, they nevertheless appear to be quite happy with their incredibly mysterious "toy." In essence, they've somehow acquired a galactic passageway which takes them light years away to a different planet. Indeed, this destination could even be a different solar system or galaxy. Too early to tell.

    The bottom line here, of course, is what does this all mean, and in one episode, Night Sky reveals very little towards the intricate plot. But like many other commendable series to appear in the past few years, this slow-burn pace will be quite watchable because of its premise as well as its two superb lead actors.

    My recommendation- Let's all get a few episodes digested before we inadvertently "belch" out our reviews. Like fine wine or Beluga caviar, it may take a little while until we fully embrace this very creative type of entertainment. But if it succeeds, it could end up being a very interesting adventure.

    No spoilers here as usual, but I will reveal that when an interviewer asked the Oscar winning actress, Sissy Spacek, why she chose to tackle this challenging role, she replied: "You know, I do things like this sometimes. I am the girl who made Carrie. There's that side of me that goes, "Don't look before you leap." I loved the writers and creators of the show. They were very collaborative. But what really drew me to it was the relationship between Irene and Franklin, and the fact that I wasn't an alien. I worried that I wasn't going to understand and wondered what in my life was going to help me play this role. But Irene's just an ordinary human being experiencing extraordinary things."
