Its writers and directors massage the tale’s foreboding evenly and with skill, although it takes about three episodes to get it moving. ... Fortunately King’s stories live and breathe through his characters, their interior drives and quirks, which is where Cynthia Erivo’s Holly Gibney enters and almost singlehandedly picks up the inertia holding back “The Outsider” and kicks it loose.

Given the wildness of the story, The Outsider sometimes feels ludicrously tony, but it’s undeniably gripping—a beach read rendered by real artists. The series is so clever that it might take you a while to realize that it’s essentially Dracula. ... Or, perhaps even more fitting, The Outsider suggests a merging of Kolchak with Price’s The Night Of.

HBO’s 10-episode series is still hampered by a few of the original story’s trappings, but its author knows better than to take his audience’s trust for granted. With the help of a great cast (led by Ben Mendelsohn) and eerie, stark direction from Emmy-winner Jason Bateman, “The Outsider” isn’t on the level of Price’s past work — but it’s far better than this story has any right to be.

It's fantastic! Love the eeriness, dread, acting, styling, and story! This is a on a short list of great Stephen King adaptations. Too bad its a mini-series.

Excellent adaptation,but I wonder if anyone noticed Holly's eyes turn white twice when she is driving with Ralph.
I have watched ten times, and just noticed it. It has to be relevant to her actions at the end of series.

Acting is superb and mostly stays true to the source material. Worth watching.

Enjoyed the show.. the book was better, but not by much. Not every King Adaption is done very well, but this is one I’d recommend.

Mendelssohn saves the series, but the overall plot is very boring and dragged out. Should have been a movie, but now there is way too much nothing happening a lot.

Good Show... Even though the similarity with "The Night Of" is crystal clear...
Another good show to start the new year.... And awesome Direction by JASON BATEMAN

Usual Stephen King nonsense, cliched and boring, only with better actors and a higher budget.
