Outlander: Blood of My Blood

I never read the Outlander books so I didn't really know what to expect when I started watching but I ended up really enjoying it. I originally thought it was a show targeted just for women but I was way wrong. Outlander: Blood of My Blood isn't quite as good as the original but it's much better than i expected. This show has something for everyone and I hope you give it a chance and stay with it. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that we have to wait a week between episodes because I much prefer to binge watch my shows.

Many of these actors are known to me, so right out of gate I'm in a serene place, relaxed and intrigued at the least. Good to see the ever reliable Tony Curran in front of the camera again. He's probably the most underrated thespian out of Scotland. Harriet Slater always delivers and Miss Corfield is ever a worthy addition. I'm of course familiar with her work and as far as the first two episodes she shined the brightest. The pacing a little uneven but that's knit-picking compared to this incredible ensemble. I'm very much looking forward to the remaining episodes.

The costumes. The cinematography. The landscapes giving main character vibes. The accents.

I love the new cast. It's good to see the characters, some of which we could only imagine come to life on the screen.

These stories are so well developed by the creators.

The behind the scenes looks with the actors is an added bonus.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood was even better than I was hoping for. It's much more than just another love story. My brother and I just got caught up on the original series and was floored by how much I enjoyed it. It is so well written and acted that you really come to care for these characters and what happens to them. The same goes for this prequel, you can tell they put a lot of effort in putting out the best show they can. It's also beautifully shot, everything from the cinematography to the costumes are excellent. The overall production value on this as good as anything on tv. If you're a fan of the original and you haven't started watching this yet then do yourself a favor and go watch as soon as possible.

I ,like others thought the back and forth nature of the first two episodes was a bit disruptive to the flow and lacked a certain depth !However l loved the character Brian and this casting might just equal Jamie's character and redeem my respect for the makers of the outlander series overall..Hoping for more!🍀
