That ingredient, it turns out, is Jensen Ackles, who replaces Patrick Gallagher as the sheriff in season three. Plus, even with the likes of Logan Marshall-Green, Brian Geraghty, Patrick Gallagher, Constance Zimmer, and Dallas Roberts, the show seemed to be missing one key ingredient. I’ll say this for the first and the second season: Bunbury and Winnick are both great, but the central mystery in both seasons didn’t have enough story for 16 episodes. It involved a drug cartel and a number of murders. The second season’s mystery - involving a drug cartel - introduced a number of familiar faces, including budget Tom Hardy (Logan Marshall-Green), The League’s Janina Gavankar, and Jamie-Lynn Sigler from The Sopranos. That season also featured John Carroll Lynch in a quirky-ish horror role. Ryan Phillippe’s character - in a real shock at the time - was killed off in the pilot, and the first season took up the kidnapping and murder of women by a truck driver, which raised a lot of red flags regarding cultural sensitivity in a state where indigenous women are kidnapped and murdered in disproportionately high numbers.
The problem with the first season is that it was amusingly messy, but a little too dark. Set in Montana, Big Sky teams a private detective, Cassie (Bunbury), with a cop, Jenny (Winnick), to solve mysteries with the aid of their kooky receptionist, Denise (Dedee Pfeiffer).

But thankfully, the series has plenty of other reasons to watch, too (namely Winnick and Bunbury).
Would he alone be worth watching? Yes, yes he would be. The announcement that Jensen Ackles, the ultimate man crush, would join the cast for season three (after making a brief appearance in the second-season finale) was the final kick in the pants I needed.ĭoes Jensen Ackles make Big Sky worth checking out? Yes, yes he does. However, several readers here encouraged me to return to the series - which stars Katheryn Winnick ( Vikings) and Kylie Bunbury ( Pitch) - and give it another shot. Kelley’s messy mystery drama Big Sky when it premiered before bailing for no particular reason other than the fact that there’s often too much TV to watch. I watched half of the first season of David E.
