The Outsider

Mysterious series with a mystical plot. A series in King’s style, definitely. The plot is interesting, but sometimes it rushes like a locomotive, sometimes it slows down like a turtle. The series is worth watching, especially for fans of King’s work. Translated to English

Ben Mendelsohn and Jason Bateman star in a gritty new series based on Stephen King’s story, adapted by Richard Price (The Wire, One Night). The first two episodes – the suspense is already ringing in my ears. Translated to English

It’s fascinating. I love this atmosphere. I didn’t read anything (Stranger King), and only watched the first teaser, which came out in November. It hooked me, and I said that I’ll watch this series. But I didn’t think that he was still mystical. I looked in the pitch darkness to feel Translated to English

Secondary constricted choker with insipid characters, inept narration and fierce misscast. Translated to English

It starts out like an ordinary detective story, but the further you go into the forest, the stranger it gets. HBO and Stephen King adaptation. Translated to English

Pros: good intrigue, dynamic in places, one of Mendelssohn’s most expressive roles, Erivo’s character was memorable, as was her performance. Cons: plot holes, sagging dynamics in places. Overall I liked it, but the last episode was a failure and downright stupid. Some kind of zilch. Translated to English

It started out like another True Detective, but somewhere along the line the tempo and suspense were lost, and with them most of the interest. They didn’t push it all the way through, but it was worth it. Now I’ll have to read the original, I don’t think it’s as simple as the series' ending. Too bad. Translated to English

the first two episodes are just bomb, exciting, dynamic. By the sixth episode it simply became unbearable to watch from boredom Translated to English

Watching this series, an analogy with Snickers is formed in my head. If you take a candy bar and cut it in half, and pull the slices apart into the distance between them, a thin line will stretch out the nougat. This won’t make the bar bigger, and the series won’t become any more interesting as the plot sags in the middle. Translated to English

Started out great, then became boring, ending without a message. Overall OK, entertaining Translated to English

Started off well, but the middle was really boring, didn’t get much more interesting towards the end. Boring and drawn-out series. I would recommend "Mr. Mercedes". Also based on King and more interesting than this. There is also Holly Gibney, but she is played by another actress, and in my opinion she is better there. Translated to English

Cheap on King’s… as usual. The best of the entire series is the first two episodes acted and directed by Bateman. Translated to English

The series is very addictive at the beginning, it has its own atmosphere, interesting characters, well-staged suspense… But the ending disappointed (In principle, I did not regret the time spent. A solid 7 Translated to English

The third episode is a normal flight. What started out as a thriller gradually turns into something else. Cynthia Erivo plays her role beautifully. And Ben Mendelsohn gives the most heartbreaking performance in recent memory. Translated to English
