Outlander

I enjoyed the first few seasons of this series--the acting is superb.

The facial expressions and the emotions. Top marks for the costumes, the scenery and the music. Later on after they arrive in America things start to slow down. Too much time on the lovemaking scenes(here we go again) too much time on pointless dialogue as if they are trying to fill in the time. What really turned me off is the main focus now seems to be on Bree. This actress (Sophia) is totally miscast in this role. She always looks like she is reading off a monitor. Her voice is horrible and she has a surly facial expression that is not part of the act. The lines that she is speaking are just very bad but could have passed with a different actress. There is absolutely no spark at all with her and Roger (who is also getting tiresome) Anyways it seems that some series just go on for too long and the writing starts to suffer.

I loved the first two seasons and the 3rd season was still fine. But all started going downhill in 4th and 5th seasons.

Not gonna lie but I feel like Sophie Skelton was not meant to play Brianna. Same with Richard rankin. They didn't feel like the characters. Instead I actually felt like they were trying to become the characters but failed miserably.

There were timeS when everyone did quite a performance in this series but I felt like in was lacking in these two. Especially Sophie Skelton (Brianna).

I love Lauren Lyle and her acting is immaculate. I feel like she's under appreciated. She needs more hype. Marsali is such a badass.

I never read the Outlander books so I didn't really know what to expect. I originally thought it was a show targeted just for women but I was way wrong. This show has something for everyone and I'm so glad I finally gave it a chance because it's become one of my favorite shows! I binged the entire series and loved it!

I'm late to discover this series, and managed to binge it all to Season 7A in a month. The first 2 seasons feel like a completely different show, it keeps me glued and craving just one more episode. But my God the beginning of Season 3 was a chore. I know many don't like Richard but man, I love him as Roger, he just brings a realism to the character for me. Sophie however comes across as an acting student trying too hard to play a spoilt child. Her scenes are downright painful to watch and there is 0 chemistry between her and Richard, and man who's idea was that terrible accent? Really the wrong actress for the part.

Came late to Outlander and binge watched it. A beloved friend who recently died of cancer, too young, told me to watch it, so I did in her honour. So glad! It has everything! The casting is perfect with stellar performances of gritty storylines. The locations, romance, STUNNING memorable music, scenery, costumes and props, and attention to historical detail, have all left quite an impression on me. In my opinion this is much more than just a Harlequin romance, and deserves more kudos.
