Outsiders

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!!!

"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.

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.

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.

Welsh, people. Not Irish, not Celtic, not Scots. They are descended from the Welsh. How do I know this? The "strange" language/words they are speaking are WELSH. The old customs are WELSH. The laws are derived from OLD WELSH LAWS. Their society is set up as ancient Wales was, not with "Clans", but with individual "Kingdoms" (at one point, in post-Roman era Wales, there were 9 individual kingdoms: 3 major kingdoms, Gwynedd, Powys and Deheubarth, and 6 minor kingdoms.)

The show really isn't that unbelievable, IF you understand the history behind the Farrell "Kingdom/Queendom". So, instead of slamming that switch you do not understand, educate yourself.
