	Media	Author	Review
		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"[It] begins as a beautiful coming-of-old-age story — but it splinters into an overstuffed sci-fi thriller, and loses much of its humanity along the way."
		Sarah Milner SlashFilm	"'Night Sky' defies sci-fi trappings, defies genre conventions, and defies expectations (...) 'Night Sky' is a brilliant show, and is one of the year's best"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"When anything is possible, nothing has gravity. And weightlessness may be fun on a Blue Origin flight — but it’s a tricky condition for a show about two real people"
		John Townsend Slant	"The beautifully sketched contours of Franklin and Irene’s relationship provides an emotional and dramatic core to the series that more than compensates for the lack of context around the chamber (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"J.K. Simmons and Sissy Spacek get lost in the stars in Amazon’s ambling, empty mystery (...) 'Night Sky' has the pieces of a moving drama without the substance"
		Joshua Alston Polygon	"While the secrets and twists that 'Night Sky' has in store certainly upend what I expected, this series doesn’t quite pack the same punch as I hoped despite some solid performances from Sissy Spacek and J.K. Simmons."
		Thelma Adams The Wrap	"This series addresses the restorative power of taking a leap of faith and honors the capacity of two exceptional actors, Spacek and Simmons, to hold the story together with their emotional gravitational pull"
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"The best thing I can say about 'Night Sky' is that it delivers excellent performances from Sissy Spacek and J.K. Simmons, both giving some of their best performances in years"
		Brian Tallerico The Playlist	"Every time that 'Night Sky' threatens to drift off into something disposable, Simmons and Spacek shine, reminding everyone that they’re true stars."
		Peter Martin Screen Anarchy	"The overarching narrative is not entirely convincing, and the show loses its bearings from time to time (...) The quietly assured performances by Sissy Spacek and J.K. Simmons generate a considerable amount of goodwill"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"By the finale it hits the beats most viewers will have grown impatient waiting for. Spacek and Simmons keep those eight hours from being a chore, and there's potential going forward for something more engrossing"
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"'Night Sky' loses its wonder, in part because the series is not bold enough —with its emotions, or its imagination"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"Every episode tends to deliver a new piece to a mindboggling puzzle. Overall, I am impressed by what Holden Miller has created. You just need to be a bit patient with this series (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
