The Outsider HBO, Jan. 12 (Sundays, 9 EST/PST)
Stephen King’s 2018 novel is the basis for this horror murder mystery series starring Ben Mendelsohn as a detective investigating the horrific murder of a young boy in a small Georgia town.
All signs point to high school baseball coach Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman) as the killer, but other evidence indicates he might have been miles away during the attack.
The traditional detective/murderer narrative quickly gives way to a much creepier, more layered supernatural story.
The cast also features the great Cynthia Erivo ("Harriet"), whose character offers a more nuanced take on the case.
This is so good. Great cast. Great storyline. Stephen King thriller, which I love.

I loved the book and love that they are sticking to it in the adaptation. The casting is not quite what I pictured but it works!

Even though I've read the book and know what's going on, I can't wait to watch the rest of it! Netflix and its binge-watching has me spoiled. So far it's looking like one of the better King adaptations...

When E2 ended my hubby said " let's stay up and watch one more episode" (as we started watching E1 at 10pm). I said " we can't, this is HBO not Netflix" ....

Even though I've read the book, this show is seriously creepy.

Even though I've read the book, this show is seriously creepy. Agreed! For the longest time I thought that because movies based on King novels freak me out, I could not read most of his books. Then I realized that my mind can control how creepy I want the words to be - reading him is far more mild!
