The Outsider - El visitante

Starts off pretty straightforward, but then the plot thickens... and you're hooked. Some of the adaptations of Stephen King's stories end up atrocious messes, but this one has real potential! Sublime acting.

If only HBO would release the entire series at once. I hate waiting for new episodes. ;)

I like the slow burn of the series...much like the book. Good stuff.

It started out excellent, but after a few episodes it divert from the book, probably to extend it to ten episodes. Nevertheless it is a good show. Casting is great, and it keeps the tension and keeps you interested even if you have read the book

First 2 episodes were very promising and intriguing, directed by Justin Bateman who also performed as a main character. Then the next 8 episodes feel so long, dragging along the story with slow development and minor characters mixing it up.

The reason I kept watching was because of Cynthia Erivo's wonderful performance as Holly. Positive note to Ben Mendonsohn acting too.

In the end, I feel this could have been an 5 episode series or a 2h movie.

Stephen King is my favourite horror writer and if not the best he is most definitely in the top 5 in my eyes have been reading his books since a teenager and spent many a night sleeping with lights on . The outsider is typical of his understated style of suspense and intrigue he manages to always set the scene of the unease so simply . This was no exception kept me uneasy to the end. Would love a season 2 or another Stephen King adaption can't get enough.
