2014 Season 1
8 episodes (2 discs)
5 Stars
I read the first Outlander books by Diana Gabaldon, as they came out years ago, and have been reading them since. I figured it had
been long enough, I could see and enjoy someone else's interpretation. I was
right. This series is delightful, and it will be difficult to wait until next
year for Season Two. Claire Randall Frazier accidentally tumbles through a
stone in the Highlands of Scotland from 1945 where she is on a second honeymoon
with her husband after WWII into the war-torn countryside of Scotland of 1743.
The costumes are magnificent, though probably not all that historically accurate,
and the kilts are a tad long. Sigh. Some nudity, some sex, some violence.
Probably not for Family Night at the movies, unless you're prepared to have
discussions with the wee bairns. Wonderful scenery.
