The Outsider: The Complete First Season – Now out on Blu-ray & DVD

I have to tell you that when I read Stephen King’s The Outsiders I was a tad bit disappointed. I thought the villain in the book just wasn’t scary enough. That being said when I heard that HBO had a show based on the novel I had to take look at it.

I was definitely intrigued, to say the least, and after the first 3 episodes, I was hooked! While the show keeps the basic storyline, they have made it different (for the better) in atmosphere and tone. This show takes the novel and makes it in my opinion a heck of a lot better! Don’t get me wrong Stephen King is still one of my favorite authors.

Both the show and the book begin with the discovery of the body of an 11-year-old boy, horrifically murdered, and move directly to the arrest of a solid local citizen, while he’s coaching a youth baseball game. Now I won’t tell you much because I don’t want to ruin it for you. What I will tell you is that as quickly as it came together, the case begins to fall apart. You’ll just have to watch the show to see what happens. It’s easy for you to get all caught up since The Outsider: The Complete First Season is now out on Blu-ray & DVD!

Based on Stephen King’s bestselling novel of the same name, The Outsider is a new drama series that follows a seemingly straightforward investigation into the gruesome murder of a local boy. When 11-year-old Frankie Peterson’s body is found mutilated in the Georgia woods, police detective Ralph Anderson (Ben Mendelsohn) sets out to investigate – with eyewitnesses and physical evidence pointing to Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman), a popular high school teacher, Little League coach, doting husband and father. While the case appears ironclad, Ralph is baffled by the emergence of contradictory evidence that places his suspect in a neighboring city at the time of the murder. The mysterious set of circumstances surrounding this horrifying crime leads Ralph, a seasoned cop still grieving the recent death of his own son, to bring in unorthodox private investigator Holly Gibney (Cynthia Erivo), whose uncanny abilities he hopes will help explain the unexplainable.

The Outsider is not just for Stephen King fans, as there is something for everyone in this captivating series,” said Rosemary Markson, WBHE Senior Vice President, Television Marketing. “HBO’s most-watched new series in the last three years has mesmerized audiences through its incredibly talented actors, thrilling plot twists, and true to life themes of grief and trauma, which will keep you glued to the screen until its electrifying climax.”
