Outsiders (TV Series) Stranger in a Strange Land (2017) User Reviews

Good show. Coulda been better

[kcrateau · 8/10 · 4 June 2020]

This was a great premise for a show and had quality actors and a unique storyline. Went off the rails a little bit with some plot holes and some plot lines that probably never got the chance to come to fruition after only two seasons. Ignore the rambling useless review above as I can only figure it's from a crazed lunatic who is reviewing the wrong show because of his references to Nazis and European culture. I love David Morse and Ryan hurst but I wish Little Foster had a better storyline to redeem himself. As a fan of Sons of Anarchy, I saw Ryan hurst do some great acting and I saw Ryan hurst do some great acting and I bet if they gave him the chance he would have been one of the best characters in the show, but they canceled it while he was in his stage of self discovery. Would love to see it come back but if it doesn't it was a good watch for a season or two

Dumb moves entailing dumber moves (by the creators)

[supermaggie · 2/10 · 29 July 2017]

After a while Hollywood kills every good show because they can't refrain from spreading hate. The same with Outsiders. The show was doomed from the beginning of season two. It started with dumb moves (killing Asa, letting Big Foster survive), but the worst came when – obviously in trying to right the dumb moves – falling back to the usual "enemy"-bashing. Instead of creatively spinning the story ahead as before, the writers create enemy figures they can bash: as usual: Europeans. And as usual it is not done cleverly but with wrong and clichéd stereotypes (till complete ridiculousness): opposed to the Americans- tolerant (yeah, right), good Christians, there are the racist (Aryan brotherhoods may exist in all American prisons – but not in European ones), greedy (the motives behind making Grimes the hero and Meyers the (only) villain are more than transparent/obvious and evil), lunatic (former) Europeans who meddle with occult rites and sacrifice humans (the Kinnah) – ridiculous. You forgot to mention that Europeans eat newborn babies (alive of course) - at least one a day each (I am surprised Don has not tweeted this yet). Don't you know the saying 'a baby a day keeps the doctor away'? No? Me neither. And of course Europeans are harmfully progressive (even if that contradicts with being occult or intolerant, but who cares? Surely not you). Well, while Europeans may think that some women are better leaders than some men, they would never ban transgenders from the Military, that's for sure, and they would never encourage police brutality like the tolerable, Christian Americans. But the most ridiculous thing is, that you are insulting yourselves and don't even realize it in your hatred. If you are American and white, then you are European as well, just moved to another continent some time ago, since all original/indigenous/native Americans of the entire continent are of darker skin (the same goes for Oceania/Australia). White "American Americans" who are not related to/are no Europeans are an illusion. But you don't care, while you let your characters wish for peace, you creators do anything to spread the hate – you are not acting as world police but as international war mongers in any possible ways. But the good thing is, that audiences are smart enough to smell your foul tricks and as soon as a show starts with Nazis and bashing of Europeans and the like, it goes to s..t pretty quickly - the bashing might not be the (only) reason for the terminations, but it surely cannot save a dwindling show either – so smart move, you dumb writers/creators, you show an incredible lack of creativity and ability as well as poorly hidden (uncalled for) hatred - and except for offending millions of people abroad and national it does not even help your lost causes! Dumb moves entailing more dumb, dangerous moves, well done!!
