Caught up two years ago on Starz app been couple season 3. Been watching every episode never missed love it so good remains the lord of the rings movies.
I LOVE this show! Since I never read the books I have no comparison,just loving the story line. Please don’t end it. I also would like the series to go back to Netflix.
I think the show runners would do well to stick to the wonderful writing of the book’s author, Diana Gabaldon. They at times make what could be a great story into something trite like sex between Jaime and Claire. I’ve written to STARZ and Mrs. Gabaldon before warning them that they are on the same road as G.O.T on HBO bc they don’t trust the book fans! Instead they follow the formula of sex, nudity, and shun real drama like Brianna’s opposition to that cross burning or her dad, Frank, not liking her friendship with Claire’s black doctor friend’s family!… Read more »
The producers continue to put their own personal spins on the seasons and episodes, changing Diana’s brilliant books. As season 5 closes, once again, chapters have been lost and replaced. Important details for the viewer to gain deeper understanding and stay loyally connected to their beloved characters seem to be forever falling through time. I hope season 6 parallels the book more because the actors are incredible!
I hope Starz continues with the Outlander series till the end of the story.i love this show it is the only reason I subscribe to the Starz channel.
The Outlander series of books are FANTASTIC. Please keep the tv series as close to the book series as you can. And PLEASE keep the tv series ongoing to the end of the Outlander book series. I only subscribe to STARZ so that I can watch Outlander.
I hope that the writers read the story! They have made it all drama and cut out any cute funny moments. It’s missing something. Clair and Jamie are connected they have fun with in all the drama. The book is a success because it has more than one drama after another. So season five is all messed up! Stop changing the story. People like it the way it was written. They changed the gathering of the clans and kept characters alive when they should be dead! It is becoming kind of annoying. I hope that they stick to the storyline… Read more »
Please continue Outlander forever!!!!
I love this show… so different than some of the junk on tv now!
