Discuss Outcast and why it's so awesome

About to binge episodes 3-5 (don't have Skinimax) but felt episode 2 wasn't as good as pilot.

Anyway, I really enjoyed this show and the premise. As someone who loves all things horror, it's nice seeing the genre in a televised format. I don't like TWD or Kirkman, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is a season one and done for me.

What I do like is how everyone around the protagonist is/was possessed and why he became a literal outcast (not the demon Outcast stuff). I sort of dig his backstory with his Mom but wasn't too crazy about it and I also adore the fact that he isn't just walking cliche of a 'bearded man drenched in sorrow' - there's a reason for him being sorrow.

I am curious how long this show will survive being on this channel with so low ratings. Very few people are talking about it along with very few outlets marketing it. What does /tv/ think?

It's faithful to the source material so I'm satisfied so far.

I like it and I'm not a big fan of horror. According to wikipedia the show has already been greenlit for a second season.

The show was developed before the comic even started by the author of the comic.

Would you recommend reading the source material? I'm big into comics but avoided anything Kirkman due to TWD fluctuating in quality.

Since you're not a fan of horror, I'd like to know what makes this appealing to you more than the rest of the genre? I'll probably end up answering my own question but what I personally like is how the horror isn't literal scares but more so the unknown of what is happening (who the antagonists are, why people are possessed, etc.). I guess the mysticism as I don't find the show to be scary whatsoever.

The mystery aspect, subject matter at hand (possesions) and how it handles it.

Soap drama about bitching family members pulled over demonic setting. Boy, this is shit.

Pretty good show. The pacing is a bit too slow for a show that only has 10 episodes per season and releases one episode per week.

This show would work better if you could binge watch it Netflix style.

Why is he so pathetic?

Dude, this is shit-tier comics and tv series as well.

That's not good

Is this getting good rating for a cinemax series? I don't want it to get cancelled.
