In Big Sky's marquee storyline, the center of the screen belongs to the gentlemen in the cast, too, with showrunner David E. In the series of novels that Big Sky is drawn from, Cass is the heroine and center of the story, but the show doesn't seem that interested in her, or in Jenny the focus is instead on their feelings for the biggest name in the cast. Cody Hoyt, as well as the two women caught up in complicated feelings for him, both detective also: detective agency owner Cassie and Cody's estranged wife Jenny. With its first shots of little-town life in snowbound Montana, Big Sky seems to be reaching for a Twin Peaks vibe, but while that show wowed and confused viewers with its cast of memorable weirdos, Helena's everyday people are a lot more bland, and that definitely includes Ryan Philippe's generic good-guy P.I. It has clear ambitions to be a gripping mystery series on the order of 24 or The Blacklist, but with cliched plot twists and rote characters, this show's reach exceeds its grasp. Language includes "asshole," "ass," "hell," "damn," "crap," and "dick." A non-binary actor plays a trans character in a respectful portrait. Law enforcement agents can't always be trusted. A Black woman is the main character she's a strong female lead who's good at her job and powerful, but has a complicated past and makes mistakes, particularly in her romantic life. Some scenes take place in bars no one acts drunk. Sex workers are seen flirting with customers in brief outfits at a truck stop. Sex is also a soap-opera style complication, with infidelity and a love triangle. Sexual content includes characters having sex, but what we see are bare shoulders and ecstatic faces while romantic music plays. Most violence is committed against women by men and the camera lingers on the women's distress. Expect sudden on-screen deaths including a point-blank shooting, as well as women being tased, a man who threatens to torture them, a body wrapped in plastic, and other sudden violence. With a series built around a series of potentially deadly crimes, and the criminals who commit them, violence is frequent. Parents need to know that Big Sky is a mystery series about a group of women who are kidnaped and the private investigators who try to find them.
