SERIES PREMIERE: Here’s another very dark series based on an equally dark graphic novel. Robert Kirkman, whose The Walking Dead postapocalyptic vision remains powerful and influential many years into its run (or, I guess, its walk), is the co-creator of this new series also. Based on his Outcast comic book co-created with Paul Azaceta, Outcast is a sort of weekly version of The Exorcist, starring Patrick Fugit as Kyle, a West Virginia man with a tragic past, and the residual skill of recognizing and battling demons. He teams with a minister, played by Philip Glenister, and the two team up – initially to help an eight-year-old boy whose possession is brutal and gruesome. The opening scene alone may be enough to turn you off, or get you to turn the TV off, and there are others. On balance, I can’t recommend this series as an enjoyable viewing experience, or as especially groundbreaking or compelling – but if you’re a fan of the genre, you might want to give it a try. You’ll know, very quickly, whether it’s for you.
