After serving as a British Army nurse in World War II, Claire Randall is enjoying a second honeymoon in Scotland with husband Frank, an MI6 officer looking forward to a new career as an Oxford historian. Suddenly, Claire is transported to 1743 and into a mysterious world where her freedom and life are threatened. To survive, she marries Jamie Fraser, a strapping Scots warrior with a complicated past and a disarming sense of humor. A passionate relationship ensues, and Claire is caught between two vastly different men in two inharmonious lives. "Outlander" is adapted from the best-selling books by Diana Gabaldon.

Outlander: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Alison Herman The Ringer The stuff that sets Outlander apart from the rest of the pack doesn't come at the expense of Serious Television values like realism and nuance. Aug 14, 2017 Full Review Outlander: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Sonia Saraiya Salon.com The fantasy is delicious-beautifully rendered and infinitely appealing. Apr 11, 2016 Full Review Outlander: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter It will be interesting to see if season two can match (or exceed) the lofty achievements of season one. Perhaps the important thing to know is, despite these shifts, Outlander remains as sweeping and addictive as ever, which goes a long way. Apr 8, 2016 Full Review Outlander: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Angela L. Harmon The NitPic Sacrificing coherent plot for the sake of your IP is a weak attempt at adaptation. Dec 11, 2019 Full Review Outlander: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Li Lai Mediaversity Reviews Outlander is fantastically feminist but has never heard of intersectionality. Rated: C Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Outlander: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) Outlander continues to be a great and fun watch.
