Review of The Outsider

The Outsider (2020)
9/10
Rationality to solve the irrational
31 January 2020
A man is accused of a brutal child killing but there is irrefutable evidence for conviction and acquittal at the same time. Something unnatural is apparent from the start. While a show about investigators caught in something they can't explain logically isn't exactly new, the atmosphere is what sets this production apart. Another strong suit of this show is that it makes the supernatural fascinating due to its subtlety. Like how the police although gathers considerable amount of evidence, most of it is beyond explanation. And this is the hook of The Outsider: the world of police investigators that needs facts to function versus the supernatural that can pervert them. So far 4 episodes aired and due to their good pacing, they maintained a good plot reveal to secrets kept ratio.
