Suddenly, Claire is transported to 1743 and into a mysterious world where her freedom and life are threatened.

      Cady Lang TIME Magazine The result is two period dramas contained in one thrilling show. May 20, 2024 Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail The TV version stunned viewers and some critics, including me, and also brought a male audience to the drama. Apr 6, 2015 Full Review Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer Always fascinating and often quite odd, mad, and weird, Outlander has the most peculiar mix of gothic horror, swashbuckling adventure, magical fantasy, and romance you're likely to experience on TV. Apr 6, 2015 Full Review Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) The series engages (more as the chapters go by), manages to maintain interest and entertains. And, above, it has substance. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 26, 2018 Full Review Terence Johnson AwardsCircuit.com The actors are what really sell this show. The trio of Caitriona Balfe, Tobias Menzies and Sam Heughan are so good in each of their roles that it carries you through each episode. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 26, 2018 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) The charm of Outlander is its wired to the moon daftness. It is surprisingly raunchy, too.

      Melissa C Outstanding show and have watched it so many times! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/24 Full Review Tanisha G I'm sorry but there was no reason this show had so many repeated scenes of physical violence and sexual assault. It wasn't needed to show the story. Literally EVERY episode it was an insane amount. It took away from the quality of the show. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Vitezslav K It seems to be simple, but I was completely drawn into the story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review HJ M YES, YES and YES! This show is superb! Every time a new season comes out I binge watch it that weekend! One of my all time favs! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/23 Full Review Judith E Certainly the best of any of the seasons (or books.) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/23 Full Review Jeff S What a beautiful and well delivered screenplay! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
