Outlander – America The Beautiful
The moral of this week’s episode would seem to be: no good deed goes unpunished, though saying that, unusually for Outlander, the opening episode of Season 4 is rather a slow burner that’s if you discount the first 10 minutes or so and the last 5, neither of which proves fortunate for either of Jamie’s […]

A Finale of Two Halves, Some Far-Fetched Heroics, Geillis in Nutty Scottish Nationalist Mode and Some Sexy Foreplay. Contains SPOILERS. From my perspective, this season’s finale was a bit of an anti-climax. Perhaps this was because the last two seasons finished with such strong episodes; or maybe because Season 3 was so enthralling at the […]

Bloodbaths, Old Acquaintances and Smouldering Looks Contains SPOILERS. This episode proves what a small world it was in the 18th century with Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) bumping into not one but four old faces from home despite being on the other side of the world.

Lies, Sex and Murder. Oh yes, and Jamie proves he can also be a bit of a twat.Contains SPOILERS. After last week’s episode, this episode was always going to be a bit of an anti-climax. But after such a longed-for reunion, I didn’t expect the cracks between our two lovers to show so soon, even […]

In Episode 2 Claire and Jamie get on with their lives but can’t let go of their past and so far, I can’t get enough of Season 3. Not surprisingly in an episode entitled Surrender this episode is about exactly that. We first see Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), a shell of the man he was, […]

My favourite TV series is back (well on Amazon at least) and we’re talking grief, honour, everyday sexism and perhaps most importantly of all: is Murtagh alive? Contains SPOILERS. Droughtlander is finally over and season 3 of Outlander is back. Our intrepid lovers Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) are separated through time and […]

If you’re an Outlander geek like me (and chances are if you’re reading this you are) you can have hours of fun clocking up the differences between the novel and the TV series, trying to figure out why they did what they did and what the hell you think about it. As a rule, screen […]
