Sarene Leeds Wall Street Journal 05/24/2016
"To Ransom a Man's Soul" is uplifting, which makes it all the more, to use Black Jack Randall's words, a masterpiece - because it's also one of the most agonizing hours ever filmed for television. Go to Full Review Ester Bloom New York Magazine/Vulture 05/24/2016
4/5
The finale takes us even further into the darkness and then, of course, the light. But the darkness ... it is impressive, even by the standards of cable television. Go to Full Review Libby Hill New York Times 05/24/2016
As necessary as the show's unflinching look at Jamie's time in captivity might be, it's nowhere near as vital as the time and care given to the aftermath of his ordeal. Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 06/21/2018
Once again, Outlander gives us the most engrossing hour of television ... that we never plan to watch again. Go to Full Review Brooke Corso The Monitor (McAllen, TX) 08/16/2017
The last two episodes were among the most brilliant productions I have seen on television. Go to Full Review Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic 05/24/2016
3.5/5
Thank God that's over. While Jamie was saved pretty early on in Outlander Season 1 Episode 16, he was traumatized enough to spend most of the hour revisiting the treatment he received at the hands of Black Jack Randall and it was not a pleasant. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
