The Outsider suffers from the same malady as a lot of entertainment these days. It uses sensationalism to try to carry it, in place of sophistication.

For me this is basic fare. Its not terribly original in its premise but its ugly enough, in a messy car accident, kind of way, to attract the usual bug eyed oglers. What it does show up and then attempts, to ineptly justify, is the utter incompetence and injustice, of the legal system in the USA.

The key law enforcement character, essentially plays judge, jury and executioner. This is all thinly explained away, using a personal tragedy, that somewhat mirrors the crime he is tasked with investigating.

Acting wise this series is alright but really, there's no well constructed platform for outstanding performances on offer here.

I found the soundtrack a bit depressing but then this is a depressing subject. Cinematography is outstanding but its the only place, for me, where this production really shines.

A 4/10 from me.
