THE OUTSIDER

Warner Bros Home Entertainment provided a complimentary Blu-ray of the HBO series THE OUTSIDERS to ageekdaddy.com

I have to admit that while I've enjoyed saving money since cutting our cable television subscription there are a bunch of shows I'm missing being able to see like HBO's THE OUTSIDER. Fortunately, I've been able to catch up on some of them on Blu-ray and DVD. The complete first season of the murder crime mystery series THE OUTSIDER that this defense attorney has been wanting to watch is now available to add to your home entertainment video library. You'd think I would want to leave work at the office, but yet this lawyer enjoys watching these type of crime shows on my time off.

Based upon 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.

In addition to all 10 episodes of season one, THE OUTSIDER: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON also includes 40 minutes of behind-the-scenes bonus content including the all-new featurette EL CUCO THE BABY YAGO THE OUTSIDER. In this never-before-seen featurette you can dive deep into the real world origins and supernatural abilities of the being at the center of THE OUTSIDER with insights from the show's cast and crew. This is a Stephen King-based show so you had to know it wasn't going to be just a normal crime drama!
