The Outsider - Sky Atlantic

[Rollergirl11]

Jason Bateman stars and directs. 2 episodes aired tonight. Have watched the 1st. Was excellent. Very chilling. What are people’s thoughts?

I’m watching, well waiting to watch. It was clear for me in the first episode it was a show I needed to watch without my mobile phone in my hand and needed to concentrate (got into to many bad habits). Surprised at how much I am enjoying it and loving the characters especially Holly. But then I also liked Hollys’ character in mr Mercedes.

Still persevering but actually starting to get a bit irritated with it now. It’s just sooo slooooow. There are also a few inconsistencies which I’m struggling to ignore.

Terry Maitland, Hofstedter and the other woman (can’t remember her name) were completely oblivious to the fact that there was a doppelgänger that had stolen their DNA and had no memory of anything. Whereas Claude (the latest person to be targeted) appears to be acting strangely and out of character.

Struggling. E6

Holly returns to Cherokee City to report her findings. She gives evidence of how all the murders were connected and that she believes "an entity" is responsible for the killings and that the priority is to find the person most recently infected by it and to isolate them. This is received poorly by the police, especially Glory Maitland who berates them all for their incompetence. The entity punishes Jack for failing to stop Holly's investigation by appearing in the form of his deceased mother and severely beating him. Jeannie invites Holly to stay with her and Ralph at their house, where Jeannie increasingly believes in the entity due to the matching descriptions and Holly's theories. Ralph is still skeptical until Holly uses a blue light against the chair where the entity was sitting in Jeannie's dream and finds the same residue that was found on the clothes in the barn as well as fingerprints. Holly now believes the entity is "shedding" as it transforms into the monster that can kill children, but must use a host while it is vulnerable to do its bidding. Jack invites Holly to visit the barn where Terry's clothes were found, but while driving, she notices the rash on the back of his neck. Realizing her imminent danger, she tries to return to town but Jack tells her to continue driving.
