So glad to see Outlander back on our screens and continuing exactly where it left off.
I'm not sure what the negative reviews are expecting from this show. It is exactly what it says on the box. If you want to know what's going to happen in it you can read the books or go to the book wiki and read the bullet points. This series is going to follow the books, it won't ship the whole crew back to Scotland unless the books do it.
It's a solid story told at its own pace and with depth and colour. They're doing the US Civil war arc at the moment, cos that's what happens in the book.
We did not find out who "killed the lass and baby", her dad takes the hit for it to save Clair, pay attention, or read the book wiki bullet points.
I'm enjoying it because I've watched 6 series already and apart from the second part of series one where they got a little bit carried away of the unnecessary gore, this is exactly what I'm expecting and wanting.
Of particular note were some of the indoor sets particularly the jail, a wide and open setting beautifully constructed as were many of the town shots. Maybe I'm imagining it but the sets and costumes seemed to take a step up even though they were very high before. Everything seemed impeccably solid.
Good to see Wendigo Donner's story pop back if only for a glancing blow. I'm keen to see more from him and his angle.
As always Jamie Fraser delivers the best parts of the story and insight into his character. The final scene was a slightly darker look at him, showing he's not to be messed with.
I'll be looking forward to this every week.
