Plot Summary: Rani’s story in Season 3 mostly centers around her being accused of Smiler’s murder, and she needs the gang’s help to prove her innocence. While her peers suspect that she might have something to do with it, Rani insists that Smiler was killed by a mysterious figure.
Series 3 of The Outlaws was so good.
Pros: This new series had a mixture of humour & drama. Each character had different storylines going on that do intertwine quite well. Richard E. Grant was sublet within his performance as Gabby’s father and the finale ended in a satisfying way that felt like a true conclusion to this series in my opinion.
Cons: At times I lost touch with what’s going on and Each episode were a bit strained to watch at times as well.
