Outsiders

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.

has potential because the story is fresh and original, with some decent actors you'll recognise from other shows.

outsiders living in the hills for generations doing their own thing according to their own rules, and the town people who largely stay away afraid of who they are and what they might do.

But now they are forced to collide with a mining development wanting to move the people off the mountain.

Ill continue watching to see where it goes - as long as it stays away from cliché and predictability I think it has enough originality to keep it going.

Seriously cannot believe this show got cancelled!!! Bad decision!!! Somebody else please pick it up! There are so many storylines and ways to take it, already has a fan following, would be an easy moneymaker!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE PICK THIS SHOW UP!!!

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.

I haven't seen a modern day TV show like this before. The show is revolves around a rough and tough hillbilly culture that you might expect exists in the secluded mountains. They even make their own version of moonshine.

It's a solid and interesting story about your stereotypical "We govern ourselves" type hillbilly clan that continues to evolve and progress in a way that keeps you wanting to see what's next.

There are a few episodes where you get a tinge of the "cheesy" factor, so I'm only going to give this 8 out of 10 stars. David Morse plays one of the alpha dogs of the pack. He manages to pull off the role quite decently, but I think they could have casted a better actor for that part and it would have helped eliminate the "cheesy" factor that occasionally taints the plot. He's just not capable of playing the super tough redneck type character you would expect to see in charge of a hillbilly clan in the mountains. Have you ever seen one of those guys? They are frightening looking dudes.
