Great show about strong women struggling with the bullshit of men and white people. Plot holes galore and songs blasting over the acting and action sequences are annoying, but the stories being told are incredibly important and the actors (now that redacted is finally gone) are amazing!. (Already the 2nd season is off to a better start than the disappointing 2nd S of Outsiders.)

Ridiculous to start a tv show 2 seasons only then later it ends, leaving thousands of viewers never knowing the ending,so why bother creating the series at all,waste money for 2 seasons in google play $17.99 twice to wonder if Noah ever finds his love,does his new son ever sees his mother again so boo boo!!! to the Creator's.

Love the show. But it would be even better if the recent episodes were uploaded at a reasonable time. I'm still waiting on episode 8 and I paid for the whole season.
