Re: Outlander (2014)

Good Lord 1x16 was brutal to watch. I sat through all of Spartacus, Da Vinci's Demons and Game of Thrones. The abuse this guy was subjected to disturbed me the most I think. Was actually hard to make it through the episode.  Kudos to the showmakers to make me feel truly uncomfortable.

I love that TV shows are able to explore such new ground with realism/violence, but dayum! I couldn't help but chuckle about

▼Spoiler

the massive outrage about Sansa getting raped in GoT (which was indeed terrible)

, but is ridiculous child's play compared to poor Mr. Fraser. Ramsay Bolton has a serious contender when it comes to Captain Jack Randall.

From another thread:

I am assuming, possibly very wrongly, that most forum users are men and this isn't a 'mans' show.

But I love it! Have done since the first ep. I've no idea of the source material, just basing this on the show itself.

Yes it's a romantic drama but it somehow ticks my boxes. I am a lover of history and whilst I'm sure you wouldn't find this on a list of historically accurate drama it does very well on the whole.

Can't fault the acting, the dialogue is great and the production values excellent. Recommended!

Re: Outlander (2014)

Sorry I missed the existing thread!

My main problem atm is it does not have a definitive end. I know the novels must have an end point, I've not read them, but I rather loath stuff that keeps going until it gets cancelled. I love shows that have a point where it ends. Not sure if this is gonna be one of them.

The Leftovers is a classic example for me.

I don't watch trailers. I never have and I never will.
I don't like Tom Cruise, James Cameron and there's lots more to add, give me time
I don't like Star Wars or Star Trek or any superhero *hit

Re: Outlander (2014)

I'm also not the target audience and fell in love with this show looking up the actors, main website, etc. Season 8 will be the final season of this show. It took me years to finally click the button on this show coming over from TURN:Washingtons Spies but I'm so glad I did. This show is a HUGE sleeper. People who don't get through a season and only watch an episode or 2 of show shouldnt give any opinion on what they havent seen. Give this show time and you will love it. It's not on Season 8 because its bad, that should tell you something. This show has outlived a lot of good shows which should also tell you something. Great period piece regardless of the magic/mystic and the historical somewhat inaccuracies.

I'm not sure I agree with "it's not on season 8 because it's bad" comment.  Lots of shows that are bad outstay their welcome, and some great shows get killed off after one season (or earlier!)

I've watched Outlander from the start, and I think it's... ok.  I've kept watching because I very rarely drop shows when I'm a few seasons in, but when it eventually finishes I don't think I'll miss it too much.

2020.  Meh.
