British combat nurse Claire Randall is reunited with her husband after returning from the battlefields of World War II. While on their second honeymoon, she walks through one of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles and is suddenly transported to 1743 Scotland, torn by war and rogue Highland clans. Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into intrigue and danger when she is accused of being a spy. Forced by circumstance to marry an outlawed Highlander, she finds herself falling in love and torn by her loyalties to two men in vastly different times, all of which may threaten her life and shatter her heart. Diana Gabaldon’s best-selling book series is stunningly realized by Executive Producer Ronald D. Moore in Season One’s first eight episodes.
In Volume Two, As OUTLANDER continues, Claire and Jamie’s relationship is tested by ruthless Redcoats, volatile clan politics, and a brutal witch trial, which force Jamie and Claire to escape to a new home. Just when their life as a married couple begins to take shape, Jamie is once again drawn into Captain Randall’s darkness. Ultimately, Claire discovers there is a fate worse than death as she struggles to save Jamie’s heart, as well as his soul.
Time travel between the 1940s and the 1740s.
Starring Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan and Tobias Menzies.
Note: Not suitable for children or sensitive viewers. There is a fair bit of nudity and sex in Outlander, as well as violence, but it is ultimately a romance. Still, the last two episodes in season one are extremely dark and disturbing despite being an integral part of the plot. If you are sensitive, Willow and Thatch advises you skip these two episodes; season two and after are less disturbing, though there are also flashbacks at the start of the second season.
