Outlander: The Complete First Season - DVD [4 Discs]

If you are a history buff that also enjoys fantasy this series combines the two genres in an intense journey through time. It has all aspects of a great read combining romance, revenge, intrigue and time travel. The main characters, Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe are a joy to watch.

I enjoy history, time travel and adventure and action. Also the plots and stories within stories on two time periods.

The show itself is pretty great. Both violently graphic and visually atmospheric. This set includes all the episodes from season 1. With this set you are getting volume one and volume 2, both which are available separately but at a higher cost, of season one. I would have liked this release to feature a spindle for each individual disk, but for the price, I guess I can't be too picky. There are two spindles inside the case which hold two discs each, one on top of the other. I wouldn't be too worried about scratching the discs this way because blu rays are really tough. I would recommend buying this set instead of buying it digitally or streaming it because the extras included are substantial. The deleted scenes and making of really add to the overall experience, especially if you are a fan of the books.

I wasn’t sure if I would like this series, but I was hooked after the first two episodes. Claire, a married combat nurse from World War 2 goes back in time to 1743. Forced to marry Jamie, a Scottish outlaw, she slowly falls in love with him. She is torn between going back to 1946 or staying in the 18th Century world.

Really wonderful series! Amazed by how incredible this production is, the cast is spot on. I'm blown away, never thought an actor or actress could be found that I would appreciate as Claire and Jamie. Caitriona Balfe is brilliantly expressive and delivers Claire's wise cracks with sauce, hard to believe this incredibly talented actress has not been picked up by Hollywood sooner. She's also stunningly beautiful and has a presence that's perfect for the portrayal of our fearlessly strong Claire! Sam Heughan is big muscly and very handsome! His portrayal captures Jamie's leadership qualities, his humor and his gentleness. From Jamie's nervous finger tapping to Claire's glass face book readers will be thrilled to see how closely this series follows the books. Many if not most of the dialog comes straight out of the books. I RARELY like book adaptions but Ron Moore and crew have hit the ball out of the park with this one. I think most book readers and new fans a like will fall in love with the TV version of Claire and Jamie, I know I have.
