Theres a certain level of uncertainty, and all the best TV shows have that.
Im very proud of the fact that literally anything could happen onThe Walking Dead.
I thinkOutcasthas that in a huge way.
On the flip side, how isOutcastdifferent fromThe Walking Dead?
The stories that were telling are very different.
Its not a road show likeThe Walking Dead.
Theres not a lot of traveling or things like that.
Its a scarier show.
The character of Kyle Barnes is also pretty different from Rick Grimes.
Thats the difference, but hes definitely on much more emotionally shaky ground, it seems.
