I was mildly intrigued by this series. It is a who done it, that you learn who did it, then you have to accept the idea of who did it, or at least some of the characters do. It's a Stephen King story, so viewers probably know that supernatural isn't out of the question. The concept is interesting, but beat pretty much to death by the end of 10 hours.

I just found that is dragged a good bit. One point that bother me was the whole look of the series. No saturated colors, interesting homes, cars or cast. As for the wardrobe it looks like they dressed the cast by going to a thrift story with $100 for the entire program. Then the actors were instructed to eat at a buffet daily and not exercise for two months prior filming. Most of the cast is out of shape and poorly dressed. I think they all got their hair done at a hair dressing school. Then they film them in this washed out color, put them in beat up generic cars from a variety of decades, but none current, throw in some sad looking locations and wa-la, roll camera. I'm all for realism in filmmaking, but you have to make it visually appealing on some level, and the only thing they did that I found interesting was the composition and use of what was in focus and what is out of focus. Overall it's just not a look that I really want to spend an hour watching, let alone 10.

I'm currently watching It and It Chapter 2, and the look is rich and inviting with interesting locations and a lush small town atmosphere. It has run down and decrepit parts, but they are still interesting to look at, unlike in The Outsider. So visually It is more interesting than The Outsider. Couple that with a story line the drags, and the series becomes tedious to get through.
