HBO's mini-series The Outsider first premiered on January 12 and has already scored a 9.1 rating on IMDB. The mini-series is based on a book written by prominent horror author Stephen King. The first two episodes that aired were titled Fish in a barrel and Roanoke. The first episode starts when the mutilated body of a young boy is found covered in what appears to be human bite marks. The suspicion directly falls on a little league baseball coach Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman) but as the authorities further investigate the matter, the story takes a supernatural twist.
The storyline and the ominous nature of the show prompted a few people to react on the mini-series based on Stephen King's book.
I was already a fan of @StephenKing’s novel but #TheOutsiderHBO is grim, gripping eats that FINALLY gives Ben Mendelsohn a great protagonist’s shoes to walk in and further proves @batemanjason is one of the best directors working in TV today. @HBO pic.twitter.com/KIHXpCxrra
