Season 1 Review: Despite its supporting cast of international actors who bring even thinly drawn characters to life, Outlander truly shines when Balfe shares the screen with either Heughan or Menzies. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Outlander is by far the best of these Starz costume dramas I've seen. It knows the stories it wants to tell and the strongest way to tell them. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Outlander is never more engrossing than when a scene emphasizes Claire's reactions as she's forced to decide whether to say what she really thinks of a man's behavior or assertion or recitation of policy, or err on the side of silence. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Interesting? Yes. But fitfully involving. The intrigues are small, slow-moving, and fuzzy. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There is very little urgency in the storytelling--layers of voiceover bits don't help, even--and therefore Outlander can hardly be described as compelling. In many ways, this is a story well and thoroughly told but with almost none of the smart pacing of similarly dense fictions like Game of Thrones. And yet the world created in Outlander is not without interest. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The resulting series is a bit of a snooze--handsome, yes, but about as dramatically compelling as the cover of a Harlequin Romance, and too flaccid to make hearts go pitter-pat. Read full review

Excellent story telling and casting. The interpretation of the tv series from the books is really well done. Historical fiction with a romance story. What is not to love?

Most of us call it 'Droughtlander,' as we've waited so long for the gaps. Hence, during the droughts, read the books, which as the origin for the series & a companion to the series make Outlander all-the-more historically vital & addictive.

Good acting, beautiful production values, and interesting settings marred by bad writing and an overemphasis on gore and sex. Sex scenes can be interesting in porn, but they just demolish the magic in mainstream entertainment and fiction.

Sex scenes can be interesting in porn, but they just demolish the magic in mainstream entertainment and fiction. So does excessive gore, with some exceptions (The Thing, Saving Private Ryan). And then there are the episode-long torture scenes, and worse, the episode-long scenes where the villain just talks and talks and talk and tortures the viewer. Still, I'll probably check out the latest season, at least for an episode or two.… Expand

Tedious, talky, repetitive, lurid, rape fantasy filled, airport novel, girl porn.

After all the hype.. I decided to give it a watch, couldn't get through to the end... Sorry if I offend anybody but Outlander is a female rape fantasy. Been to lot of forums to see if this is the case... Every book minus one has rape in it... Lovely... No thanks...… Expand
