Outland is a fast-paced, witty situation comedy that offers outlandish and occasionally outrageous scenarios while never losing sight of what keeps an audience coming back for more: well-rounded and engaging characters with a compelling storyline. However, in many ways Outland breaks the mold of what is commonplace for a half-hour television comedy. Indeed, Outland has the potential to be quietly revolutionary. Every major character in the series is matter-offactly gay. For these people it is a given, therefore it requires no discussion. The show is not at any point about being gay. The source of ‘otherness’ or being outsiders that the characters feel is from being geeks obsessed with science fiction. They are minorities within a minority.
