Mar 4, 2016Not one likable character. The entire show tries to come across as a serious drama about Appalachians, but is really nothing more than an insult to white people, which I believe, is on purpose. If you are not picking up on that, you are missing the point of the show, which is put white trash on display..

Feb 15, 2016Oh god.. how does this have a higher rating than say something like the new series Billions?! I'm just baffled by how dumb viewers have become. This is the lowest of low dumbed down "entertainment". Yeah right, EVERYONE in Kentucky is a backward arse illiterate incest freak of nature. Please.

Sweeping and complex with a large cast of characters to delve into, The Outsiders isn’t necessarily new or gripping television, but it’s structured drama that delivers results thanks to the likes of Peter Tolan and Paul Giamatti at the helm as executive producers.

Some of the scenes verge on action-movie absurdity (most of the stuff involving all-terrain vehicles feels like a real-world hiccup of the Mad Max series), but there are low-key, even tender moments, too, sometimes with a touch of odd humor.

These extended sojourns on the mountain, though beautifully shot, are self-serious to the point of spoof. That said, the performances--a supremely shaggy David Morse as Big Foster, a mercurial leader of the clan, Joe Anderson as Asa, who returned to the fold after a decade in the outside world, and Thomas M. Wright as troubled deputy Wade Houghton Jr., with a mysterious link to the Farrells--are strong throughout. And there's much in the material that resonates.
