Rewatching WGN outsiders and my god. It was one of my favorite shows, back then it was a frustrating watch. But right now its torture.
I can honestly see why it was canceled despite my dissapointment. So many pointless episodes watching Big Foster and little Foster bumbling around, proving the townspeople right in assuming the Farrels are fucking idiots. Sally Anne and Hasil :the only good thing about the series (besides Krake,honestly) get a mere few seconds an episode before we're back to watching Big Stupid come up with a dim witted plan with a gaggle of young fools.
Im half way through season 1 and I just do not care.
I really wish they had paired away at the dead weight. It should have hyper focused on Hasil and Sally Anne's journey.and really fleshed them way the fuck out and discover each other's cultures. And spent alot and I mean ALOT less time switching us back and forth between the cop and the mountain folks.
1 the cops were a dead end . And 2 the mountain folks mysteriousness wiped away and replaced with tomfoolery.
Also... maybe its been stated somewhere else but I always scoff whenever these very IRISH people talk about their roots being on that mountain for a mere 200 years. And then see them be like "THE CHEWAKEEE CAHLED IT BLUD MUNTUN!!" Like oh really? What happened to them? Eh? They got little Foster wearing partial regalia occasionally, but ugh.
If this show had cut out the dragging scenes of of mountain foolishness, the dragging scenes of town foolishness. And maybe...I dunno...made at LEAST Sally Anne have a bit more self protection ( black girls in small towns have it hardest in this respect) this show could have been so so much more.
