HBO’s The Outsider

[Beer]

So that's where I'm at. We're going to keep watching but I think it's about #5 at best on our shows to watch depth chart.

Pretty accurate assessment.

I watched the first episode, and thought it was pretty much like "The Storm". Is it different from other King stuff, or just the usual?

Turned off the season finale episode about 10 min in. Just got so stupid.

This page of all the Outsider episodes user reviews is pretty accurate. Started out great and then nosedived.

Ben Mendelsohn’s been really ****ing good. Period.

As far as supernatural bs, if you watched the trailer for two seconds, it’s pretty obvious there is going to be some sort of supernatural element. I can’t stand that **** either but this show’s slow reveal has presented it about as well as you can.

I disagree with beer that it’s gotten progressively worse. I think it’s been strong throughout though I did think episode 6 was the weakest of the bunch so far.

I watched it and enjoyed overall, it's well made and played. I like Ben Mendelsohn very much since I saw him in Bloodline. He played great there, his character was also much more complexed and interesting than in Outsider.
