I binged the entire series and I loved it!
I’ve never read the Outlander books, so I didn’t really know what to expect. I initially thought it was a show for women only, but I was wrong. This show has something for everyone, and I’m so glad I finally gave it a chance, as it’s become one of my favorite shows! The only negative thing I have to say about it is that season 6 really wasn’t that good, and this is coming from a fan.
