    I just love it. Have seen all three seasons and yesterday started again watching. It is trilling and very high romantic. Love the fantasy of timetraveling and the history of Scotland

    I think if season 3 were season 1 there never would have been a season 2. This season is all over the place in it's time lines which is somewhat off-putting. In the earlier episodes there is just no "energy" and reminded me of Days of Our Lives from the 1970 & 80s. Another huge let down was the passage of time, 20 years passes while the 2 are separated. In America, Claire goes throughI think if season 3 were season 1 there never would have been a season 2. This season is all over the place in it's time lines which is somewhat off-putting.

In America, Claire goes through medical school and works at a hospital afterwards with a black doctor. He is made to age 40 years in that time while Claire nary a day, it just looks silly. This also works to undermine the story going forward as neither of these actors can really portray someone almost twice their real age (unsurprisingly).

    So what spoils the season is not the actors per se but the management of the time interval by the directors of the show. It is reminiscent of 1950s & 60s special affects, it just looks unreal/unbelievable.    … Expand

    Of the two parallel narratives that unfold in the first five episodes, Jamie’s is the more eventful and, because of when and where it unfolds, the one that feels more in keeping with the Outlander sensibility. ... Both of their [Balfe and Heughan's] performances feel deeper and more emotionally resonant than they have before.

    The story ages Jamie and Claire, so when they reunite after a deliciously agonizing buildup (marked by some inspired humor), the rapture is both emotional and spiritual. In season 3, Outlander, TV’s best romance, soars by making you fall in love with it all over again.
