"Outsiders" is not meant to be a story about real people in a real situation, and if you can get past that notion, there is a story here that bears watching, filled with power struggles (big coal against the mountain people, son against mother, son against father), crazy romances, superstition (the power of the mountain), and the struggle to preserve a way of life in the face of changing realities. Some of the acting is first class, especially Thomas Wright (the Sheriff), and the rest of the cast does a good job as well. The photography is really good and I enjoy the ways in which the various lives intertwine. This is the type of series you need to watch from the beginning, and if you want to watch Season 2 be sure you watch Season 1 first.
score 8/10
