Last year, Outlander was a big success for Starz (compared to the ratings of their other series). Will this TV show continue to do well or, will viewer interest subside? Cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.
On Outlander, Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), a married combat nurse from 1945, finds herself mysteriously thrown back in time to 1743 Scotland. She’s forced to marry another man (Sam Heughan) to save her life and a passionate affair is ignited. The rest of the cast includes Tobias Menzies, Graham McTavish, Gary Lewis, Duncan Lacroix, Stephen Walters, Grant O’Rourke, Claire Sermonne, Rosie Day, Stanley Weber, Andrew Gower, and Lionel Lingelser.

What do you think? Do you like the Outlander TV show? Should the show be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I Was loving this show until I saw the last episode of season 1. You completely ruined the beautiful Jamie character. Especially when you went as far as suggesting that he was actually enjoying getting raped. I cannot believe that the producers had to stoop to such levels just for ratings. I would have watched this show forever had it not been for that sickening scene. Cancel cancel cancel.
I found that scene where he seemed to enjoy what was happening to him also sickening. The horrible way he always treated Jamie ever since they met Black Jack almost killing him and then to end it like that I was a little shocked.
I think you should continue Outlander. there is plenty of material for the continuation of this series and who doesn’t love Claire and Jamie???? I am currently reading all the books and excited to see them carried out in the series. We know they love each other so I think you should cut back slightly on the sex scenes between them. They have many other things to continue with throughout coming seasons. So many adventures they will endure together.
If you cancel Outlander and The White Princess, I’m cancelling my subscription to STARZ. These are my FAVORITE shows (I’m pretty much bedridden from a serious disease, and these shows keep me alive and happy by looking forward to them every week!).
Just a suggestion, but I think you would do well by creating more period pieces from say the 1200’s (or earlier) to the 1700-1800’s, instead of all the murder, blood and guts, current politics, etc., etc., types of series. Just my opinion! They are my favorites though!
I think that since Jamie has been raped and all, it has taken away from his masculine character and has changed the whole concept. This is wrong to do this to such an attractive masculine character who all the ladies love. Now he has been scared and has been made to look effeminate with red hair. Starting out has hair was dark. You have weakened Jamie’s character. I have not watched since the first showing of episode 3. Too bad, I really did like this show. Jamie is dead.
Love,love,love the show! Best thing on TV. I am not a regular reader but because of this show I am reading regularly. I can’t get enough oh Jamie and Claire!
