Review of Outcast

Outcast (2016–2017)
Got real potential
8 August 2016
The more I watch Robert Kirkman's out cast the more intrigue it brings out in me. Rare is it to find such a show that is truly unpredictable. Modern television shows are often extremely entertaining and yet predictable. Shows such as Grimm (which I love for other reasons) and the effects that are used great, acting great the premise of the show is excellent, and yet it can be predictable. This does not apply to Outcast. It has a very unique and dark atmosphere which creates and eerie sense of fear in the viewer. Often this created by facial expressions and music. However it is difficult to identify what creates this sense of suspense. However it is clear that is is the purpose of the writers to do so. This aspect of Outcast is something that very few shows can match.

It is clear however that Outcast is in it's first season. The story is progressing slowly and for some this will be frustrating. This does reinforce the atmosphere of the show however. Although moving slowly, the story and plot is extremely intriguing and hence, Outcast is a show that should not be overlooked. The writers will continue to determine the direction of the show and as this happens the show will likely become great.
