I haven't read the book but this is such a beautiful series, amazing atmosphere, picturesque characters and wonderful places, perfect costumes and altogether very credible as far as picturing the historical context goes.
I gave it a 7 because I just feel that something is somehow lacking!
It may be that the tempo is a bit too slow for my liking. The event development lacks something to make it more exciting and honestly a bit predictable.
Or it may just be how the main actress chooses to present her character, Claire. She simply lacks mystery. I think a certain mysterious air about her would have added more flavor to the story. She is in a sense a bit too ordinary and not exceedingly charismatic so to speak. I failed to empathize with her story that much even though she does look like a classic "English rose" and a lady.
Overall I would say good acting from all actors. I like the character of Dougal McKenzie a lot, is he not the picture perfect Scottish warrior! I also use this opportunity to testify from a foreigner's perspective that the Scottish kilt is so hot! I adore their traditional way of dressing, so singular and so flattering. I salute Scots, we love your cultural heritage. <3
All in all very aesthetically pleasing TV-series. Maybe season two will bring about more surprises, for now I do stick to my opinion that it probably missed that extra something to make it a a 10.
