The Outsider is an American horror crime drama miniseries based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King. It was ordered to series on December 3, 2018, after being optioned as a miniseries by Media Rights Capital in June 2018. It premiered on HBO on January 12, 2020.

For me Jason Bateman has become one of my favourite actors, he disappeared from the limelight for years and has come back stronger and better than ever before. This show is absolutely fantastic, you are hooked within the first ten minutes and you can't look away.

I’ve always been a fan of Stephen King. The tension and suspense in this show is excruciating. The problem with watching this was having to wait for new episodes each week. The careful piecing together of the clues pulls you deeper into the story with each episode.

This show is everything I love about HBO. Fantastic acting, amazing writing, and one of the creepiest premises ever!! This show is definitely a slam dunk and I highly highly recommend it!

If you are a fan of supernatural/horror and detective shows don't miss this.
