Outlander: Le Chardon et le Tartan

The first two seasons were amazing. I could not take my eyes of the screen.

The music, the set, the characters were perfect.

However, it took a huge nosedive after season 3 and became really boring.

Brianna and Rodger are really annoying and Brianna especially is hard to watch sometimes.

It's really disappointing because it was such an amazing show. I did watch season 4 and still me of season 5 but it just became apparent that it was never going to get its magic back. So I've quit the show.

Not sure if it is the same story as the book but I did but the books and think I'm going to read those instead.

I'm late to discover this series, and managed to binge it all to Season 7A in a month. The first 2 seasons feel like a completely different show, it keeps me glued and craving just one more episode. But my God the beginning of Season 3 was a chore. I know many don't like Richard but man, I love him as Roger, he just brings a realism to the character for me. Sophie however comes across as an acting student trying too hard to play a spoilt child. Her scenes are downright painful to watch and there is 0 chemistry between her and Richard, and man who's idea was that terrible accent? Really the wrong actress for the part.

I never read the Outlander books so I didn't really know what to expect. I originally thought it was a show targeted just for women but I was way wrong. This show has something for everyone and I'm so glad I finally gave it a chance because it's become one of my favorite shows! I binged the entire series and absolutely loved it! The only negative thing I have to say about it is that Season 6 was really not that good, and that's coming from a fan. I pretty much had to force myself to watch it and even found myself fast forwarding through some episodes.

I enjoyed the first few seasons of this series--the acting is superb.

The facial expressions and the emotions. Top marks for the costumes, the scenery and the music. Later on after they arrive in America things start to slow down. Too much time on the lovemaking scenes(here we go again) too much time on pointless dialogue as if they are trying to fill in the time. What really turned me off is the main focus now seems to be on Bree. This actress (Sophia) is totally miscast in this role. She always looks like she is reading off a monitor. Her voice is horrible and she has a surly facial expression that is not part of the act. The lines that she is speaking are just very bad but could have passed with a different actress. There is absolutely no spark at all with her and Roger (who is also getting tiresome) Anyways it seems that some series just go on for too long and the writing starts to suffer.

What am I to do. Now that I know this exists. I'm not sure I will find my own way back to my life.
