3/5
Critics talk a lot about chemistry between lovers, but chemistry between rivals is just as important... And in the case of Claire and Captain Randall, we do. Outlander is a uniformly well-acted show, yet these two have a rapport that stands out. Go to Full Review Angelica Jade Bastién New York Times 06/27/2016
More than almost any other show on television, Outlander understands how an actor's face can communicate mood and theme. Go to Full Review Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya AV Club 06/27/2016

Desperation and dread permeate "The Hail Mary." It's a tonally affecting episode, even though it hobbles along at an awkward pace and without much by way of charging things up ahead of the supersized finale. Go to Full Review Roxane Gay Wired 05/23/2018
As the second season winds down, there is a notable confidence in the way things are wrapping up-a confidence that narrative closure won't scare audiences away. Go to Full Review Brooke Corso PopWrapped 10/26/2017
Outlander's penultimate episode, is about courage and the lack thereof. Go to Full Review Brittany Volk Tampa Bay Times 06/27/2016
We feel a little like Claire. We know the outcome, but the plot points have been rearranged and added. But we're still captivated, and moved by this story and these characters. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
