The Outlaws

The 1st ep might be a bit on the slow side while setting up what's in store with the following eps.

Steven unselfishly doesn't make himself the hero or even the main character. He dips in and out adding comic relief and giving all the actors a decent back story. He doesn't even give himself the best comedic scenes as there is plenty other light relief from some of the other actors from a fairly complex and dark story line and keeps you guessing till the end.

The adding of the absolute icon of Christopher Walken is class.

A defo binge worthy series.

If you don't like this then you need to take a look in the mirror and question your life choices.

Who doesn't love a group of misfits that are not really badies but a little bit naughty.

I like the Breakfast Club but for adults feel and wow, Christopher Walken rocks up. I was sold!

The Outlaws is a programme about a group of people who have been sent to take part in community service for their wrong doings. You have a typical set of different characters from varied backgrounds. We see each story unfold under the over arching message that if friends stick together, they can get through anything. No matter our differences as people.

That's always a nice thing to be reminded of isn't it?

Especially at this time in the world.

Merchants skills for making an all round great production really shine here. A great mix of comedy and thriller with the writing and performances managing to not get too cringe, when at times it could have. Though also not airing on the side of fluffy either.

Funny yet a little gritty to keep you hooked. This is a really good show and look forward to series two.

Awesome writing, well performed and a new fav actress in Jess Gunning.

Why is this so underrated? It has great humor, drama, acting and storyline. Unique. Love it. I was expecting a typical British comedy, but got so much more.

People have said this show is not very good but perhaps they are looking at it the wrong way.

It's a bit of a throwback of a show to simpler times but that doesn't mean it's any less engaging. It's easy to watch, you don't have to know a lot, the writing great with some excellent and funny banter between cast members and the cast is excellent.

The best thing is that in just a few short episodes, you get involved in the character's lives, even if they are relatively superficial glimpses of people with complex issues. They are minor criminals but in this show, they still warm your heart to some degree. It just works.

Christopher Walken adds a really great dimension to the whole thing. Excellent casting and it was great they were able to get him on board.

I wondered when he was going to start dancing. He was originally a dancer so his movies and parts always includes one or more scenes where that happens. I was not disappointed.

There has to be second series. If there isn't, I'd be surprised.

If Walken doesn't turn up again, be interesting to see David Soul back on the small screen doing a turn.

I just finished watching the end of season 2 last night and I can only hope they continue with this show.

The entire cast is brilliant and has wonderful chemistry.

I enjoy the combination of drama and comedy. The stories are interesting and I did feel like I was on the edge of my seat with several scenes, but the comic relief was unexpected and worked perfectly. They also managed (in only six episodes per season at that) to flesh out the characters and their relationships with one another.

Christopher Walken was wonderful here. I enjoyed Stephen Merchant's character as well and was surprised to find out that he actually created the show.

Wrapping this up, I enjoyed The Outlaws immensely. Witty, entertaining and just fun to watch. I hope they'll be more seasons to come.
