Suffice to say, if you're a fan of Kirkman's bleak and thought-provoking brand of storytelling, Outcast is worth a watch.

There is a sense of place created with the depiction of down and out rural West Virginia.

The cast and the emotional back story in Outcast are compelling, and so is the growing sense that Kirkman is using his tale of demonic possession - based on his own Outcast comic book series - as a broad allegory of domestic abuse.
June 05, 2016
Outcast takes on demonic possession in fairly riveting fashion, thanks to a no-holds-barred approach to its subject matter, and a decidedly unorthodox pair of exorcists, whose methods might be effective, but are a little controversial, to say the least.

With all this time spent checking off genre boxes, there's scant space for the narrative to breathe beyond them.

It isn't for everyone, but Outcast is likely to satisfy fans of horror done well.

As it proceeds, the series suffers from the context surrounding it: The netherworld is all over TV... As a result, Outcast feels overly familiar.

The moving pieces in Outcast always feel like there's solid ground beneath them. We get to know each character; if not overly well then paced to a satisfying slowness.
June 01, 2016
Outcast is a Cinemax drama about possession, sacrifice, cruelty and Jesus. In other words, it's not your typical summer show, but it's one you really shouldn't miss.
March 17, 2016
Judging by the enthusiastic reactions to the world premiere of Outcast's pilot episode, screened on Monday at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, Kirkman and his team have another compulsively creepy hit on their hands.
