Zusammenfassung
Reviewers say 'The Outlaws' is praised for its comedy-drama blend, strong character development, and engaging plot. The diverse cast and actor chemistry are appreciated, along with the show's exploration of social issues and balance of humor with serious themes. However, some find the plot implausible and characters stereotypical. Critics also note slow pacing and insufficient humor. Despite these issues, many reviewers desire more seasons, reflecting a generally positive reception.

A novel comedy from Stephen Merchant in which a group of seven very different strangers complete community service together in Bristol.
It's not a pure comedy, it's a mix of comedy and drama. However, it has a good plot with some excellent characters. Christopher Walken is brilliant, Stephen Merchant is very funny, and the rest of the cast do a good job.
I just watched Season 2.
The story continues where it left off but this is not as good as Season 1. It lacks the novelty of the first season.
I was bored in parts although it gets better as it goes. Episodes can trundle along with rare moments of excitement. It's not really a comedy, it's a drama with some funny (rarely laugh out loud) moments.
A mixed cast, varying in quality but Merchant and Walken still stand out. Across both Seasons I'd give it a 7* but I wouldn't want to watch it again. It's not that great.

I'm a red blooded American from Missouri and the strangest thing happened to me when I saw the film Shaun of the Dead. I went down the rabbit hole of British TV and movies and came out a better person. Life is doom and gloom in on the telly *as the Brits say* in America 24/7 on a loop and it is exhausting. These kind of shows you can just turn on and have a good time. It doesn't shy away from serious issues, but it takes them on differently than American TV and that is why British TV for the win. If you like British TV you'll like this. If you don't wtf are you watching it for?
People have said this show is not very good but perhaps they are looking at it the wrong way.
It's a bit of a throwback of a show to simpler times but that doesn't mean it's any less engaging. It's easy to watch, you don't have to know a lot, the writing great with some excellent and funny banter between cast members and the cast is excellent.
The best thing is that in just a few short episodes, you get involved in the character's lives, even if they are relatively superficial glimpses of people with complex issues. They are minor criminals but in this show, they still warm your heart to some degree. It just works.
Christopher Walken adds a really great dimension to the whole thing. Excellent casting and it was great they were able to get him on board.
I wondered when he was going to start dancing. He was originally a dancer so his movies and parts always includes one or more scenes where that happens. I was not disappointed.
There has to be second series. If there isn't, I'd be surprised.
If Walken doesn't turn up again, be interesting to see David Soul back on the small screen doing a turn.

Why is this so underrated? It has great humor, drama, acting and storyline. Unique. Love it. I was expecting a typical British comedy, but got so much more.
I just finished watching the end of season 2 last night and I can only hope they continue with this show.
The entire cast is brilliant and has wonderful chemistry.
I enjoy the combination of drama and comedy. The stories are interesting and I did feel like I was on the edge of my seat with several scenes, but the comic relief was unexpected and worked perfectly. They also managed (in only six episodes per season at that) to flesh out the characters and their relationships with one another.
Christopher Walken was wonderful here. I enjoyed Stephen Merchant's character as well and was surprised to find out that he actually created the show.
Wrapping this up, I enjoyed The Outlaws immensely. Witty, entertaining and just fun to watch. I hope they'll be more seasons to come.
