Outsiders

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.

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.

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.

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

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!!!
