Outsiders

Awesome Show so far !!!! Great cast, interesting story, and lots of potential for the rest of the season. I' am expecting guerrilla fighting with a modern kick and hoping the drama wont over-extend the action and suspense. It's also interesting to note the story so far is not over-extending in terms of realism, but makes it quite believable. I hope it continues this way and we get 5 seasons at least. Keep an open mind and wait for more episodes before judging to harshly. For those that didn't recognize its Opie !! Ryan Hurst will make the show !! Has elements of other shows such as Justified in terms of the realism of the town and the people. I'm waiting to see more episodes before I can really judge how accurate they represent the mountain people, because I would expect them to be more ragged, using more basic tools, and stealing or killing whatever they can find. Right now it looks more like a cult or something rather then a family or tribe living in the mountain for the last 50 years.

There is only one major thing to remember about Outsiders. And that is that it got canceled after two seasons. So don't waste your time watching it because they just stop in the middle of the story without any explanation or a decent ending. Why they do that is a mystery to me because the series wasn't that bad. I didn't know the channel WGN before watching this but now I will remember. I will remember never watching anything again from their channel because I can't afford to waste my time again. But if you do decide watching the two seasons expect to have a story that isn't bad but that isn't all good either. There are some turns in the story that will make your eyes raise. But it's not all bad. Why they can not write an ending to a show they know they will cancel is a mystery to me. WGN, never again.

I cannot believe this show is canceled. It was a great show. It has a great premise and a great cast. I was actually trying to see when season 3 was starting. I'm absolutely shocked this was canceled. I hope somebody else picks this show up. Bad move by WGN, but then again, it's WGN... LOL. Hopefully they will get rid of this new CEO asap.

I came across this show on my Hulu suggestion feed and being all of my shows are on their mid season finales I had been trolling for something interesting to watch. This show had me hooked after the first episode!! Only to find it was cancelled after two seasons! It's one thing to cancel a show, but you could've gave the loyal viewers some closure on how it was abruptly ended and have left them hanging in suspense on the outcome of the family and the mountain!! Really!!So if this review is by chance read or even glanced by a producer, network executive, or intern, please give the show a "proper" ending

"Outsiders" is not meant to be a story about real people in a real situation, and if you can get past that notion, there is a story here that bears watching, filled with power struggles (big coal against the mountain people, son against mother, son against father), crazy romances, superstition (the power of the mountain), and the struggle to preserve a way of life in the face of changing realities. Some of the acting is first class, especially Thomas Wright (the Sheriff), and the rest of the cast does a good job as well. The photography is really good and I enjoy the ways in which the various lives intertwine. This is the type of series you need to watch from the beginning, and if you want to watch Season 2 be sure you watch Season 1 first.
