Since it's based on a Stephen King novel, it should not come as a surprise that The Outsider has a good plot and with a hint of metaphysical phenomenons.

The show opens with the death of a young boy in a town in Georgia. Eyewitness, DNA and all forensics point to a culprit. Except the detective in charge must deal with contradicting evidence that put that same suspect somewhere else in the country.

The plot thickens very fast, moved substantially by amazing performances by Ben Mendelshon and Cynthia Erivo (very compelling character in Holly Gibney), with Jason Bateman drawing attention early on as well.

It reminds me of the experience of watching True Detective.

Great performances, beautiful cinematography and a very strong score. Everything works to build the suspense. If you have a chance to binge-watch it, it should be even more engaging.

The paranormal side of it may put some people off, but so much emphasis is put on the character's own scepticism, that I find it does not bother me at all - plus it's standard in Stephen King's work.
