I read Rachael's words as a man who is largely unacquainted with the realities of sexual abuse. To be honest, I'm not sure what I would say. Rachael, who was the first to publicly do so, has chronicled her courageous struggle in her book What is a Girl Worth: My Story of Breaking the Silence and Exposing the Truth About Larry Nassar and USA Gymnastics. That, however, was only the result of many brave women who worked against the system and publicly stood to testify and accuse Nassar. He will never again know life out of prison.

The Outsider is a Stephen King novel, adapted for television by Richard Price. Sunday’s two-hour opener, directed by and starring Jason Bateman ( Ozark), is an instantly riveting exercise in emotional suspense, trapping a nice-guy small-town coach in a Hitchcockian “wrong man” nightmare.

The Outsider blends typical King with the same sort of plot as his Bill Hodges series and some of that exhibited in the book 11-23-63. I’m a sucker for a good Stephen King story, and The Outsider is one of his better recent efforts. ![]() ![]() Ask Matt: ‘Outsider,’ ‘Conners,’ Tom Bergeron and ‘Jeopardy!,’ ‘Chicago Med’ and Pandemic TV & More.The Year in Cheers & Jeers: Stick a Fork in 2020!. ![]() ![]() ![]() This book currently has a 4.22 on over 1300 ratings on Goodreads – a good signal that I’m about to read a great book.
