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.

In Claire's determination to save the lives around her, Outlander viewers can find an unexpected note of solace in the time of the coronavirus, believing that our own Claire Fraser is out there, experimenting with the cure.

In its fifth season, the time travel period romance has truly found its footing... the series has now found a new level of maturity which matches its central characters.

Rated: 4/5

Hardcore fans will love it, but I felt alienated by the show's new purpose: it's a fantasy world for moms.

Most romances in period dramas end with a wedding... But if Outlander has taught us anything, it's that sometimes weddings are only the beginning.

The Frasers are back, acting like a family, and still agitating the British in this soft season premiere.

Storyline is starting to get super repetitive. Same drama different day. Growing tired and feel like they are "over-acting". They kind of have been all along, but it's starting to ket to me.
