Love the details in this series and how historically accurate it is along with an injection of a fictional love story. The chemistry between Jamie and Claire is by far one of the best on screen. It's so easy to fall in love with the story line as well as the characters. Each season is unique which keeps you wanting more. Highly recommend this series for any historical loving romantics.

I've read all the books related to Outlander and think for the most part the show is fantastic. Love all the characters despite some little differences from the books. One exception is Bree. That casting is not very good on my opinion and dissapinting since she is going to have such a large role in the next few series. Not only does she not look the part but her acting is forced and amateur compared to the rest of the actors. Cringe! Sounds like she just read all her lines. Hope she gets better.

From wanting nothing except going home - to wanting nothing else but to stay - to the psychological degradation - to the superb scenery, and the outstanding acting, I loved this series. Like the Highlander epic movie this is in the same vein.

I initially watched this show for the historical element and because it was based in Scotland. But I was hooked from the first episode because it was so much more than I expected. It is now an event for me. I do not miss an episode and I watch it when it airs and not later.
I was introduced to our heroine Claire and her husband Frank in 1945 Scotland. Claire and the audience are then transported back in time to the highlands of Scotland in 1743! where she eventually encounters a group of highlanders including our hero Jamie. There is chaos, drama, adventure, intrigue, mystery, fighting, loving and romance, and all that in the first episode.
Kudoos to the writers, and directors for the words and journey each episode takes. It is beautiful to the eye and in spirit. If there is an emotion, felt by a character, I feel it too. They cry I cry, they celebrate I clap, they plot and do battle with the villian, I wish a pox upon his/her house.
Kudoos to the set designers and costume department . The sets are fantastic and the costumes are gorgeous. Everything looks so authentic. I cannot begin to imagine the time, care and detail that went into designing these wonderful elements of this amazing show. And Setting, , the location selection for each episode is a character itself, the mountains, the rivers, the castles, the palaces etc.
The music, to me you can ruin a scene or a show even with the wrong music! The music is wonderful, sometimes the music makes you soar, sometimes it makes you cry. It always adds and never detracts. The Outlander Yule Log is now my go to for the Christmas season. Turn it on, hum along, and start cooking or trimming.
I cannot say enough about the actors, all of them. They give life to these wonderful characters that I have grown to love. I miss them when they are gone but enjoy them all over again when I rewatch.
Jamie and Claire are played by Sam Heughan an Caitriona Balfe. There are not enough superlatives to describe the performance they give each and every episode. The words are written and they are beautiful words, but the words are in the hands of the actors to get us involved in the story. The nuanced performances they deliver are amazing, they can deliver a feeling an emotion without saying a word. they cry I cry, they feel joy so do I. They can battle, fight love and you are in their corner. These are wonderful characters played by remarkable and talented actors who bring them to life every episode. i thank them for sharing their extraordinary gift.
