Boiling it down to steam - is everyone absolutely as ignorant, naive, moronic, weak & irrational in this whole damn county? Seriously pathetic.This is essentially an adaptation of a modern cult, and with the stories being told (rumors) as well as the proved crimes committed, how in the he!! is it possible for such a group of people to go unbidden for years upon years? It's not. After so many "peaceful" groups gone awry (Waco) I cannot see this as being at all possible, even in backwoods cool country.How does this Big Foster just keep doing what he does? It's as stupid as the bad dude in Walking Dead. And yes, I stopped watching that too when he was introduced. Why not just kill him? Many had many opportunities yet every one went haywire, as if he was possessed of some protective powers. Obviously a lunatic like that won't just stop his violent way. Absolute power...And as another said, where did all the luxuries come from? That's a whole lot of robbing. Yet they don't have any gardens, or livestock, even chickens running all over. Okay. Not realistic.How is that inbred big Foster is so keen, so intelligent, yet so stupid? I mean the dude figures sh*t out that is just so vague, so not obvious, but NO ONE ELSE CAN FIGURE OUT A DAMN THING! Okay. Not realistic. He's a brute, not Socrates.And what is that voodoo sh*t that is a "real" part of the show? Come on! Is this just pure fantasy or fiction? And so many pretty inbreds - yes absolutely they are inbreds, there's no way around that. It is proved science, no alternative facts here, that inbreeding creates a whole mess of physical and mental deformities & disabilities, to put it mildly.And that music, dear god hello 80's.It just got worse after about Episode 4, I saw the writing on the wall right off, but didn't realize it would go SO off the rails so quickly.I am about through with Season 1, not sure I'll waste my time on season 2, but definitely not surprised or disappointed that I will not have the opportunity to even entertain being entertained by a season 3.

This show is completely different than anything that has been on TV. Every episode is action packed and exciting. Love it's a mix of drama and can make you laugh at times, especially Wade. It's a mix of Sons of Anarchy, Mad Max & Justified on the mountain. My family & friends loves it! Highly recommend!!!

Outsiders is the best TV series out there, period. It has a story line that pulls you in from the very beginning. The characters ARE believable, as is the plot. It is fantasy. It is reality. It IS America today. Just look at the news. There is the central story, ripped from today's headlines. There is the story of the the clan, the Farrells. Then there are the stories of individual characters, both clan and townie. Love and hatred, triumph and failure, hope and despair. And Shay Mountain. The heart of it all. The magic and power of the Myr. The interaction between the townies and the Farrells fascinates me the most and is becoming the most interesting and appealing aspect of Outsiders. I am rooting for each and every one to find the answers to their questions and fulfillment in their relationships. I cannot get enough of this show. The hour flies by so quickly. And I hope and pray that we soon hear of its renewal for Season 3. So much more to tell....

Season 2 is an ongoing disappointment that somehow manages to become sillier and more outrageous each week. Not surprising; the premise is not sustainable. This series makes sense (if at all) for one or two seasons. The standoff, by its very nature, cannot go on indefinitely. Therefore, the longer it takes to reach a conclusion, the more filler needs to be added to keep it going.Is there really a place in Appalachia or anywhere in the US for that matter, where clans of mountain folk mosey down into town on a whim for a "run" for purposes of resupplying by driving ATVs through stores with impunity? Season 1 was a lot tighter and appeared to be leading to a conclusion. But season 2 is a mess, filled with inexplicable developments. Consider everything surrounding Asa. He was one of the few Farrells who had a moral compass and seemed like a potential bridge between the clan and the Town. He did G'win's bidding, only to be betrayed by her and locked up. She begged him to kill Big F and then immediately after he did so, she locked him up. Then - he dies - out of nowhere, and we learn that Big F is alive. Not only is he alive, but now he is a good guy - what?? G'win is no better than Big F. The only difference between them is that he succeeded in killing the person ahead of him in the pecking order (his mom) where she failed to kill the person ahead of her (Big F). How does G'win remain as the clan leader after Big F openly admitted to killing his mother, when she tried to do the same thing?I don't even know where to start with the Kinnah Tribe. They come out of nowhere and G'win accepts them and brings their leader into the fold immediately. I understand hospitality, but the way the Kinnah are practically leading the clan in the course of a few episodes is a bit much.More on the Kinnah - a few inked, half bald and mostly naked woman appear out of nowhere and sweep the guards off their feet (and then promptly kill them). As if the guards would not have suspected something was amiss - because inked, half bald and mostly naked woman appearing out of the woods for sex must be a regular thing in the fantasy land where this show takes place. I mean - could the creators of this show possibly portray the townsfolk as any dumber? And could they possibly be any weaker? Lil F (who admittedly is a big strong man) is portrayed as beating a half dozen or so townies at a time, while 8-fingered Hasil, who has a slight build, at best, fights like a ninja warrior.There is so so so much more. But, the biggest disappointment of season 2 thus far may actually be: what is going on with the coal company and its billion dollar plan to take the mountain? Its course of action, which is what drives the show and will ultimately lead to its occlusion, has been lost amid the goofiness. But I guess that is to be expected where, as here, an original premise that begs for a conclusion is overly delayed by goofy filler.
