Outlander season 1 review

The “Outlander” finale on Starz Saturday night was almost a year in the making, but was it worth it? That’s something that may be a debate for much of the next several days. For the time being, though, we can at least say that this was an intense, possibly-traumatizing episode to some viewers given that […]

The penultimate episode of “Outlander” season 1 aired on Saturday, and if there is a specific word that can be used to describe it, is is “brutal.” This is one of the hardest episodes of the entire series to watch. It is violet, shocking, and takes no prisoners virtually from start to finish. If you […]

“Outlander” is always a show stuffed full of surprises, isn’t it? We are not a book reader and have little knowledge of the events there, so if you were to tell us that at some point this season we would be seeing Claire Fraser sing a Scottish version of “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” in an […]

Sure, what better story than an “Outlander” review to make a “Game of Thrones” puns? It is one of the many ways that we try to entertain ourselves, since mostly this show has struggled do that as well the past couple of weeks. As lovely as it has been to see more of Lallybroch, the […]

Before we got to the surprise ending at the close of the episode, there was not too […]

“Outlander” to us has been so far one of those series that you can tell has the potential be great, but just is lacking a tool or two in order to get it there. Sometimes, we’ve felt like it was too reliant on either the shock value or the sex to bring in eyeballs. This […]

“Outlander” can at times be a very entertaining show, and then at others be somewhat bizarre. Tonight, we bore witness to poisonings, drunken swordplay, and a woman doing some sort of spell ritual in the middle of the night while taking her top off. This woman was Geillis Duncan, who may be to Claire the […]

In many ways, the midseason premiere of “Outlander” on Starz Saturday night was an outlier, especially when you relate its story to that of the installments that came before it. There was no narration from Caitriona Balfe through the minutes of the episode, just as there was no sighting of Frank Randall or the time […]
