Outlander

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.

The first two seasons were amazing. I could not take my eyes of the screen.

The music, the set, the characters were perfect.

However, it took a huge nosedive after season 3 and became really boring.

Brianna and Rodger are really annoying and Brianna especially is hard to watch sometimes.

It's really disappointing because it was such an amazing show. I did watch season 4 and still me of season 5 but it just became apparent that it was never going to get its magic back. So I've quit the show.

Not sure if it is the same story as the book but I did but the books and think I'm going to read those instead.

This show is a great escape from reality. The plot stays interesting throughout the series. It is visually stunning and the acting is great except for Sophie Skelton. Her acting is some of the worst I have ever seen.

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 absolutely loved it! The only negative thing I have to say about it is that Season 6 was really not that good, and that's coming from a fan. I pretty much had to force myself to watch it and even found myself fast forwarding through some episodes.
