Episode 1

Seven very different strangers begin their community payback sentences, renovating... More a derelict building in Bristol. But can any of these ‘outlaws’ really reform?

Episode 2

The outlaws find a bag of cash, clearly the proceeds... More of crime. But who does it belong to?

Episode 3

The outlaws find themselves in choppy waters. A campaigner is... More rejected by the very cause to which she dedicated her life, and a decision is made about the outlaw’s sudden windfall.

Episode 4

A lifelong scoundrel reflects on his past mistakes, the police... More recruit a surprising new deputy, and a young woman makes a decision which could endanger the lives of all of the outlaws. Can the outlaws launder their dirty money before the gangsters track them down?

Episode 5

The outlaws must hustle on two fronts — with a... More captain of industry, and a member of the landed gentry. An audacious break-in is planned, and an imposter is heartbreakingly exposed.

Episode 6

Even with redemption seemingly in reach, the outlaws find their... More time running out, and the net closing around them. They face a stark choice — die apart, or survive together?

Reckon we have something wrong? Let us know.

The New York Times

The show has a fun, bouncy vibe and comic pacing, but there are crime-thriller plots, too, and they’re not played for laughs.

Paste

One of the best things about The Outlaws is that it knows exactly what it is, and tells us so right off the bat.

Hollywood Reporter

A likeable cast and genial sense of humour... make for a generally pleasant time.

Entertainment Weekly

An intriguing blend of sharp comedy and genuine danger...

The Guardian

It is wry and silly (and) has a knowing fondness for a dad-joke style gag...

Independent

In general the aesthetic is classic Merchant, that sub-Edgar Wright suburban banality where everyone converses mostly in dad jokes and everything looks a bit naff.

The Telegraph

I’d happily watch a show that just concerned itself with Rani (Rhianne Barreto) and John (Darren Boyd) and jettison the rest.

The Irish Times

The criminal plot, alas, continues to feel tacked on, and sits uneasily with the wry comedy.

Daily Mail

There's the basis of a really good serial here, an ensemble drama with criss-crossing storylines... but Merchant's script suggests he feels that would be beneath him.

Financial Times

Ever watched The Usual Suspects and thought it could have benefited from more gentle humour, awkward teen romance and heavy regional English accents?
