A Darkness Surrounds Him

Outcast
S01E01

I haven't read the comic that this show is based on. The first few minutes were really gross, not only did Joshua eat a huge smashed-up bug,  a few minutes later he is chomping on his own finger. It was disgusting.

After that, the show stopped making sense. Joshua's mom went & got the town pastor, but she didn't restrain the kid. That was really dumb. This episode takes place over a few days but the kid is never restrained so he can't keep harming himself & he's left alone in his room. It was really stupid.

It looks like people don't remember after they are possessed & poor Kyle is falsely accused of beating his wife, but really he was trying to exorcise her. I'm not sure how because he was clueless about how to do it until the pastor asked him about his mom.

After 11 seasons of Supernatural, this show better have an idea of how things work or it will get cancelled like Constantine & Damien. Kyle's blood hurts the demons more than holy water, but they are trying to suck his soul out of him. That also doesn't make any sense.
