I had not read the book by St. King (well, he is not my idol anyway), so I started to follow the story as a real crime stuff, but alas not for long... IN spite of some disillusionment, I still continued to watch, focusing on other issues, such as venues, performances, camerawork... Well, not bad at all, but no "spark" to remember as a must to be followed in the future. With some performers known from other works (Bateman, Camp, Mendelsohn), but most not, and the realization who the wrongdoer was came too soon.

The two last episodes included most policing elements and even thrill, but all in all - The Outsider was not a series I was longing for the next episode to see - just professional craftsmanship.
