The Outsider

"L'Extérieur" followed David Ross, a rebellious private detective played by Darren McGavin. Ross operated in a unique and dangerous world, always at the heart of the action. The series, which aired for one season on NBC, paved the way for "The Rockford Files". Like its successor, it featured a lone detective with a troubled past, who had served time for a crime he didn't commit. Ross struggled to find his place in a rapidly changing society, never quite managing to fit in.
