This is such a good series, a fantastic blend of comedy and urban thriller. Great characters, great cast, well plotted and directed, I thoroughly recommend it. It seems the competition on other channels at the same time has side-lined it's success a bit, which is a real shame, but I think this will be a word of mouth and a slow grower. This series ended a little inconclusively, you'll want to know where the characters go from here, so it's great to know a second series was already planned and is now completed.

I really enjoyed Outlaws. An engaging story with twists and fun characters. Darren Boyd's John was spot on for a righty businessman just trying to keep his business alive. Hope to see series 2.

Can’t wait for season 3!!! What a superbly crafted show ❤

I've watched the first 2 episodes of Outlaws and I love it. Really enjoying it. Update: I'm on series 2 now and I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this series.

I remember when I was an extra in the Al Pacino feature film, Revolution, Donald Sutherland took himself round the King's Lynn town centre shopping area, during a break in filming........in full 'Redcoat' uniform!! Ok, it ain't Christopher Walken at Stonehenge, but it's still remarkable! 😲

Because the public aren't usually allowed in the stone circle at Stonehenge, the stones are undisturbed and there are several species of lichen that only grow on them. That is why they don't let folk touch them. Saying that, I did some all-night filming in the stones circle a number of years ago (before the new visitor centre, etc) and DID touch a stone. It had been a hot summer day before and the stone was still warm at 4:00 in the morning. Magical inside the circle.

I fully understand why. However, whenever I go to a place like this, any wonder I feel about being in a historical place like this, a place that belongs to all of humanity, it is immediately squashed by the lady or gentleman standing there telling you not to touch or linger too long or to keep up with the group. It divorces me from the experience and I end up feeling like everything is cheap and commercial and gaudy. I hate it. And so I have lost a lot of interest in ever going to these places. Everything goes away and falls apart eventually. The stones will not be there one day and those people will be out of a job and that's the one thing in all of that that makes me feel good.

Really enjoying The Outlaws. Unquestionably the best thing he's done for years. Him and Gervais never seemed to quite find their solo groove after the office, extras and my favourite, their work with Karl on the radio shows and podcasts (I can still listen today and howl with laughter, and ironically it's what they put the least effort into). But life's too short, derek, invention of lying, hello ladies...none of these matched the greatness of their first three ventures. However, with Afterlife, Gervais rightly received the most acclaim since the office, and similarly Merchant for the outlaws. He does straddle the line between comedy and crime thriller really well here. It's got laughs and nail-biting tension. Jolly good fun.

Also awesome in Jojo rabbit. Bad ass movie!

Well Antwerp is the cocaine capital of Europe now, so take that Stephen Merchant! 😉 I love Outlaws...perfectly cast and the right mix of comedy and heartfelt.

So, if any health issues arise for Christopher Walken, go back to that Stonehenge lady and say, “See! You should’ve let him touch the healing, blue stone!”

I thought 'The Outlaws' was wonderful. Just the right amount of gentle comedy, characters, drama and heart. For me way better than Ricky Gervais 'AfterLife' where the bitter, nasty comedy and mawkish sadness seemed forced.

Comedy thriller about a group of misfits doing community service. Why has nobody ever thought of this idea for a TV show before? The Outlaws is a good name.... I wonder if they thought of calling it Misfits.

To claim drink driving is a minor crime if no one is harmed is like saying it's safe to drive at 160mph because you didn't crash. Minor motoring offences are dealt with by FPN and the fact that drink driving is dealt with at magistrates' court means it's considered a serious offence.
