Outcasts was a fast-canceled BBC sci-fi series released in 2010.
Set on a futuristic exoplanet in a 'Jamestown,' the show asks the questions "what lies beyond the palisades?" and also "when can settlers leave their regimented communities and become pioneers?"
Classic questions which the writers pair with a natural rivalry between the military "expeditionary" characters and the more civic- minded scientists and politicians wishing to set the colony's policy.
The large ensemble cast is credible as a group of hardscrabble survivors on the planet Carpathia. The dialogue is keen and well paced.
When the action ventures outside of the settlement walls, a delightfully spooky 'alone in the woods' vibe burbles up, creating frissons of anticipation as we follow the lonely fellow travelers searching their unknown environment.
The show was sacked before reaching 10 episodes.
Pity.
