‘THE OUTLAWS’ Prime Video Gangly, gawky Stephen Merchant puts his physicality and hangdog persona to fine use in this British crime comedy.

“Please, don’t make me talk so much,” he said recently, in a low register, his hangdog eyes pleading with the universe.

Finn Russell looked hangdog - and that takes some doing.
