I'm smiling as I think about #TheOutpost. Not in a ha ha kinda way. I find it to be so enjoyable & refreshing. Not the usual explicit gore & sex kinda show as some have come to expect. Thats a great thing. You need to watch 2 or 3 episodes before really getting into the nitty gritty of what's taking place. While I can guess right on a few things, there's plenty of surprises along the way to keep my interest. And I love the characters. Ok, I'm smiling again as I think about each...even the one I call Demon. I've more than one fav. The sets are great. The storyline is wonderful. Even those not heavily into fantasy should like this sci-fi fantasy series. I have fun watching this show & interacting with some of the cast & crew on Twitter. It's a great group of people. I definitely will be disappointed if CW doesn't renew this show. It's a treat to watch.

I'm pretty loyal to Dean Devlin because of the Librarians, so I thought I'd give his next project a chance. I'm glad I did. Ok, granted the first episode was weird, but it got better. I'm still not the biggest fan of Talon, but Gwynn and Janzo are a hoot and I can't wait to see the next episodes.

IDK why the ratings are so slow but I love the outpost.

As jarring as it is to be thrown head first into a new world with unfamiliar magics and species, its even more jarring to see the awful reviews given to this show. There have been some great reviews here on imdb that defend The Outpost well, so I don't want to echo chamber this, but I also definitely created my account finally, just to leave this review. Any show deserves the attention of the viewer for more than 5mins. Especially the first 5mins. Coming to an educated opinion takes more than 5mins. You can't base an entire opinion on a show based entirely on the pilot, if that were the case, tons of great shows never would have continued past the pilot. Cheese is almost required of this genre. Its campy, cheesy, a bit over the top in areas, acting where the actors find their characters and grow into them. There is magic, creatures called Grey Skins, and a main character called a Blackblood, because of her blood. Of course it's slightly cheesy. Sex/Gender roles... Well, its just nice to see two characters carousing and drinking the tavern down while getting into a fight, winning at gambling, then passing out in an awkward pile, and have them be women. Because, yes, women do that, and its nice to see it portrayed on screen. I'm tired of tropey character, tired and dried out.. The Outpost has entirely turned them on their heads, while leaving room for new and refreshed character types.I've really enjoyed this show so far, and I'm going to be angry if it gets cancelled, I want to see the world develop and the cast become their characters, beyond a season and a half, preferably. The Outpost deserves the chance to be loved and enjoyed.
