Just watched the first episode of Night Sky. So far it strikes me as a really good psychological drama about getting old. Not a lot of sci-fi stuff yet.

J.K. Simmons is a really good actor, especially by American standards. I'd say he's on the level of a good Scandinavian or British actor.

Anyway, I might just have to binge this. Thanks for the recommendation!

Edit: The mysterious sci-fi stuff gets interesting around episode 4

    Its lo-fi scifi. Great character development story though

    Just finished watching. I give it an 8/10.

    On an emotional and psychological level, I thought the show led to a pretty satisfying conclusion. Viewers should not expect to have any off their questions about the sci-fi stuff or the intrigue answered, though. Too bad it was cancelled after one season!

    But I can see why it didn't gain a massive audience. It's too slow and psychological for a lot of sci-fi fans, yet it has too much silly sci-fi stuff for fans of realistic psychological dramas. The Spanish parts with subtitles may also have put off a few English-speaking viewers.

    If you l like J.K. Simmons, character development and science fiction, you should check out Counterpart, if you haven't seen it already. It's a solid spy thriller where the main plot device is a cool sci-fi concept.

    Knowing anything about the story beforehand will tell you about this plot device, which is a bit of a spoiler for the first episode.
