Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ! How is there not already a thread for this wonderful show that's been running for 5 seasons and.... ummm... why am I the only one here obsessed with it?  Started watching in early 2020 and quickly fell in love despite some rough patches and I clearly can't stop talking about it. Chemistry between Balfe and Heughan is off the damn charts, the music is enchanting, the setting romantic and exciting. Best cinematic equivalent I can come up with is Last of the Mohicans but obviously more fantastical. Has the same approach to history that emphasizes romance and adventure and uses two hot people as its conduits (so my fellow Mohicans stans need to check this out already!). Personally I loved seasons 4 and 5. The American frontier setting is working way better than I thought it would, and with revolution brewing this next season is certain to be a barnburner. I know a few other ppl on here have seen at least some of it. Sharbs , forksforest , I think (?) cheesecake & stephen anyone else? General thoughts? Favorite episodes or moments? How gorgeous is that opening intro? |

I've seen s1 and parts of s2, but I really want to get back into it. Maybe after horror stuff and finish my Sopranos re-watch that I didn't finish before Newark released. Happy to here it doesn't disappoint throughout

You should come to NC and see all of the Outlander destinations while you wait for the new season, Tommen_Saperstein !  |

Joining the discussion belatedly but I'll speak for the minority in disliking what I saw of the show (sorry!). Agreed, beautifully shot, great premise, but something about Jamie's character and Claire senselessly falling for him irked me to no end. Also, i hated how Frank got shafted from the start.
That being said, I'm not sure I made it to the season 1 finale so perhaps one day I can re-watch with a fresher mind.

Keep watching! I think it might help you understand why Claire fell for Jamie. I can think of quite a few reasons !  |

after a disappointing season 6, I'm ready to get sucked in all over again.
