Folks,

I am watching Outlander, a historical drama television series based on the Outlander novel series by Diana Gabaldon right now. The genre is Historical fiction, Drama, Adventure, Fantasy and Romance.

Cheers,
Pieter

Season 1 (2014–2015)



In 1945, Claire Randall, who had formerly served as a nurse in the British Army during the Second World War and her husband Frank are visiting Inverness, Scotland, when she is carried back in time to 1743 by the standing stones at Craigh na Dun (in what is now Tay Forest Park). She falls in with a group of rebel Highlanders from Clan MacKenzie (a fictionalization of the real Clan MacKenzie), who are being pursued by government troops led by Captain Jonathan "Black Jack" Randall. Randall turns out to be Frank's ancestor.

Clan MacKenzie suspect her of being a spy, but retain her as a healer, which prevents her from attempting to return to her own time. Knowing that the Jacobite cause is doomed to fail, she tries to warn them against rebellion. Out of necessity Claire marries a Highlander, Jamie Fraser, but they quickly fall in love. Her husband Jamie is captured, tortured, and raped by the sadistic Randall, but Claire and his clansmen rescue him. Claire tells Jamie that she is pregnant and they set sail for the Kingdom of France.

Hello Pieter,

I watched the Outlander for some time. The first and the second season was good, but then it started repeating itself. Good that you watch it! It has a flavor.

Dear Jaga,

This is often the case with long good series. I had it with the Mr. Robot (TV Series 2015–2019) also. Which were excellent but to long.
