With all the good and bad sides of his storytelling. All in all The Outsider begins quite intriguing, just to end with less interesting super natural demon blabla. What really buffles me and killed the series even more than this King routine is the bad casting for Holly. Why in the hell make the woman black? And why in the hell casting a "mousey" woman with ticks with someone who is so completley unfitting to this role? Even more so, while they actually had a fitting casting in Mr. Mercedes (which of course ruins every connection between these two series, which normally should have been there.. not even King can explain that Holly becomes a tough black broad at once).
