📺 Watched season 1 of Out There.
This was a surprise find, coming from being in the company of a person who selects shows in the traditional TV manner of turning it on and seeing what’s playing live through the aerial when episode one just happened to be starting- in many ways a far more efficient method than the whole “hope the internet is working well and scroll through Netflix for half an hour paralysed with indecision” modern way.
This one turned out to be a most fortuitous find! With popping (m)any spoilers into the mix, a farmer’s son gets mixed up with the criminal underworld, being inadvertently dragged into the life of a county lines drug runner. Things get worse, at which point his dad has to decide how far he’s prepared to go to keep him safe and free.
It does get a bit ludicrous as time goes on - at least I hope what goes down doesn’t happen too much in non-fictional life - but I anyway found it a highly compelling watch. It’s real sin is really not resolving very much at the end of the season. I hope they are absolutely sure they’re making a season 2 - and that I remember what happened in season 1 by then - otherwise it’s going to be a bit frustrating.
