The Outsider is so exciting to watch and the pacing is so fantastic that I was surprised when the first episode ended. Go to Full Review Joe Lipsett Queer.Horror.Movies. 01/21/2020
...the miniseries is still introducing more mysteries than it is answering...as a novice viewer to the story, it can be a little overwhelming to keep track of what is - and isn't - important. Go to Full Review Gena Radcliffe The Spool 01/16/2020
Assuming it continues to follow the book, the plot will eventually develop into horror, but right now it's a sinister mystery. Go to Full Review Andrew Stover Film Inquiry 01/16/2020
