Oslo Jargo (Bartok Kinski) *** This review may contain spoilers *** The Outcasts was such a good TV western, I wish it had lasted a few more years.It takes two bounty hunters, who are at times against each other, and other times, with each other and puts them in difficult situations. They travel the West searching for wanted men. I think the rivalry really works in this show and it is very caustic and cynical. Something very refreshing to see for the time.Don Murray (Bus Stop (1956), The Plainsman (1966), and These Thousand Hills (1959)) was always a fabulous actor. Otis Young as Jemal was also in The Last Detail (1973) with Jack Nicholson.The music was really exciting, Hugo Montenegro did it.Some of the writing was corny, particularly the American Indian episodes. They make it seem like they are idiotic, and can't hunt two men on foot (The Apache Indian episode). By the way, the actor Robert Phillips (he played pro football for the Chicago Bears and the Washington Redskins), who played an Apache Indian in this episode, also played the same Apache Indian in "Kung Fu" The Predators (1974), and Mackenna's Gold (1969). "A Time of Darkness" episode also makes the attacking Indians so inept as to not be able to kill two men in a cave.Nonetheless, I really "The Outcasts" when it came on in 1968.
joan_572 At times the series was just an ordinary western/ ]But at other times / it became a very interesting psychological drama / could two people from very different circumstances /one confederate veteran who literally lost everything as well as the war and an ex-slave who was also a black veteran learn to deal with each other/ in a world that resented and hated both rebels and blacks/ they were indeed outcasts !/ the series also dealt with violence against women/ Indians and questioned ethics and morality of post civil war America as well as in our own time . Don Murra y and Otis Young were excellent in their roles . Are VHS tapes available ? The premise would make a great movie/series is now available on DVD!/ / fans of this series were not wrong it was excellent
msgtretired I have seen probably half of the 26 TV episodes. My comment is in the form of a question. Are the TV episodes on VHS tape/DVD; if so where may I acquire these episodes.I consider this TV series one of the better westerns TV series produced at the time. The series was ahead of its time based on the social culture at the time. I thought the series was well produced and directed. If I'm not mistaken the series lasted all of one season. I thought that the series was good enough for someone with insight could produce a full length movie with intelligent writing.Thanks much.
taylr41 The short lived story of white bounty hunter Earl Corey, who teams up with newly released slave Jemal David, to form an integrated bounty team riding the west of all criminals,both black and white, during the 1860's. Both characters are well rounded and bring the parts off quite well, making the whole thing believable. The arrangement is purely one of convenience, as there is actually no love lost between the two parties. the bickering by play between the two, sometimes simmering with racist overtones,is sometimes fascinating. this series was well written and was actually of the favorites ofthe day. It's short run could be more attributed to the ever changing racial climate of the day, as opposed to the actual quality of the series.
