On a lonely stretch of Montana highway, two sisters vanish, and the people who go looking for them soon realise the case is much larger than one abduction. Big Sky is an American crime series that began in 2020, with David E. Kelley credited as its guiding hand.
What is Big Sky about?
Cassie Dewell works as a private detective; Jenny Hoyt used to carry a badge. A kidnapping case brings the two women together as partners. A long-haul truck driver has taken two sisters from a remote road, and the trail is cold almost before it begins, because out here there are few witnesses and enormous distances. As Cassie and Jenny push into the investigation, they find that other young women have gone missing along the same routes, quietly and without much attention. What looked like a single crime starts to resemble a pattern. From that point the series becomes a race against time: the pair must find the person responsible before another woman disappears, while working out which of the locals around them can actually be trusted.
About the cast
Katheryn Winnick and Kylie Bunbury head the ensemble, with Brian Geraghty, Jesse James Keitel and Dedee Pfeiffer in the other principal parts. David E. Kelley is the name credited behind the series.
Context & significance
Big Sky sits where three genres meet: crime, drama and thriller. Its setting does a lot of the work. Montana's open country, thinly populated and crossed by long roads, gives the story both its title and its particular kind of dread, the sense that help is always far away. Episodes run about 45 minutes each, so they are easy to watch back to back, and the central search gives the story a constant forward pull. Viewers gave it a generally favourable reception, and it suits anyone who likes serialised mysteries built around two strong female leads and a villain hiding in plain sight.
