Claire Beauchamp Randall, a nurse in World War II, is mysteriously transported back in time to Scotland in 1743. There, she meets a dashing Highland warrior and is drawn into an epic rebellion.

It’s so much more than just a love story
Outlander was so much better than I expected it to be. I just caught up on the last season and was amazed at how much I enjoyed it. It’s so well written and acted that you really start to care about these characters and what happens to them. It’s also beautifully shot, everything from the cinematography to the costumes is excellent.
The overall production value of this is as good as any on television
I have to say that the last few seasons weren’t quite as good as the previous ones, but they’re still worth watching. If you haven’t seen this yet, do yourself a favor and go watch it as soon as possible!
