I hoped for a strong sci-fi drama with character depth and good actors. Of course a trailer doesn\u2019t guarantee anything, but what I saw was promising. And the BBC has a lot of extremely good TV \u2013series, so the potential was here. Here\u2019s the trailer:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OM_-eFLJkSE\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1591\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/outcasts.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/outcasts-300x183.png\" alt=\"Outcasts\" title=\"outcasts\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1591\" width=\"300\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/outcasts-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/outcasts.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1591\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Outcasts<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Then I started watching it and unfortunately Outcasts is a huge disappointment. The story doesn\u2019t go anywhere, the characters are cold, uninteresting and you don\u2019t understand their motivation; the dialogs feel artificial and so on and so forth. You want some examples (<strong>spoilers<\/strong>)? The story is all over the place: First I thought it was about the new people arriving on the planet. Then the story seemed to be about the outcast of genetic engineered humans. Suddenly ghosts appeared. Later on I had a creepy feeling that theirs a secret on the planet which involves time traveling. Shortly after the tune changed and it was about people possessing aliens (or still ghosts?). There was never a consistent flow and they changed the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mcguffin\">MacGuffin<\/a> at random. I think that alone is enough kill any notion of an exciting story. Mixed with the other aspects, Outcasts is energy draining and dead boring to watch.<\/p>\n<p>The only positive is the production value, especially the nice landscapes. They did a great job to film everything in wonderful landscapes. I also think that the acting was ok, but it cannot over shine the bad script. That\u2019s about it with the good parts =(<\/p>\n<p>So stay away from Outcasts and wait for the next season of Doctor Who =).<\/p>\n<p>Star-O-Meter: <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ratingImg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/emptystar.png\" alt=\"empty-star\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ratingImg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/emptystar.png\" alt=\"empty-star\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ratingImg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/emptystar.png\" alt=\"empty-star\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ratingImg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/emptystar.png\" alt=\"empty-star\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ratingImg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/emptystar.png\" alt=\"empty-star\"\/> (0\/5) (Yes, a zero.
