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.

Peter Travers The Travers Take Mar 6, 2026
3/4
It’s finale time for this epic tale of time-traveling love, war, kinky sex and bloated storytelling as Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan leave their hearts in the highlands, and the series ends as it began—essential viewing for incurable romantics Go to Full Review

Priscilla Blossom TheWrap Mar 3, 2026
Though it’s a far cry from the sultry days of Season 1 Jamie and Claire, there’s still enough chemistry there to scratch the itch. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
'Outlander' may have been excessive, absurd, or even out of control at times, but it has also consistently shown for many years that a love story only works when we continue to believe in it until the very end. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

8/10
Despite Outlander's dramatized flubs, season 8 managed to deliver on magic in a way it hasn't done in years. Go to Full Review

Mary A @Sunflowers407 Sep 19, 2026 This is the first TV series which captured my attention in more than 15 years, and the first one to keep my attention throughout all of its seasons. From the storyline to the cast and the production crew, Outlander not only grabbed my attention, but it motivated me to watch each episode multiple times. I thoroughly appreciated the final episode and its final moments, even though many didn’t. See more Ms. Nike A @Ms.Nikky Sep 8, 2026 Claire, We Get It, You Love Jamie... Now Get Off the Battlefield! WHAT THE FUCK was Claire doing on the battlefield in Outlander Season 8?! Yes, she loves Jamie. WE ALL KNOW THAT! But Jamie is not the only man on that battlefield with a wife who loves him and wants him to come home alive! Claire is a surgeon and healer. Her skills would have been much more useful treating the wounded somewhere safe instead of running around in the middle of an active battlefield. And what made it worse? She distracted Jamie, which contributed to him getting shot! Now this man has to worry about fighting, surviving, AND keeping an eye on Claire. Woman, WHY ARE YOU HERE?! Sometimes Outlander goes too far trying to convince us that Claire and Jamie's love is so extraordinary that nobody else could possibly understand it. YES, WE KNOW YOU LOVE YOUR HUSBAND, CLAIRE! But PLEASE let the man concentrate when bullets are flying! That whole scene was stupid to me. See more Alessia R @Alessia_R Aug 25, 2026 This season was so disappointing. I have loved this show, but I couldn't even finish this season. I stopped watching when there was the most unnecessary death and an incest story. Bad ending to a good run. See more Jeanie T @Jeanie943 Aug 3, 2026 All wrapped up with a typically mysterious ending. It has been great through its run looking at the history and whilst the cloying sentimentality was not for me it was all part of it. Fine show overall. See more Britney R @BritRee Jul 23, 2026 They did a game of thrones speed run through it. Bunch of pointless plots that went nowhere, killing off beloved characters just for shock value, and a terrible ending. See more jULIA M @Julia39 Jul 22, 2026 Though the finale of Outlander had some lovely romantic moments, the season as a whole was terrible. especially given that so much superior material was left on the floor , so to speak, in the last book. The whole season was heavy with foreboding, Fergus's death was unnecessary from the point of view of the plot, also wasted was the time spent on Frances because it went nowhere, and finally, the scene with Jamie's wounding missed the opportunity to show Claire bringing him back to life with the blue light, the climax of her healing power so central to the series. It would have been much better to have followed the book and clearly shown Jamie alive with both of them happily back at the Ridge. Other objections: It is unbelievable that Claire wouldn't have known that Frank called Brianna deadeye; Claire shouldn't have looked about 20 years older than Jamie; the baby's life is never adequately explained and the idea that the lacemaker could have remembered this song is unbelievable.
