Blu-Ray Review: The Outsider: The Complete First Season

Warner Bros. is set to release the complete first season of the amazing, intense series “The Outsider” on home video tomorrow.

Anderson is an officer that seems detached for everything around him due to the death of his son. He’s a skeptic of the supernatural world through and through, but he’s desperate to
