What checks the female- empowerment box for many is how Clare handles it all: She is a resourceful, plucky and compassionate heroine who wields her 20th-century smarts as a sort of superpower.

I urge viewers to stick around, because Episode 6 is brilliantly tense from start to finish.

"Outlander" distills a tasty spirit all its own.

It was enormously refreshing to see an epic, gruesome fantasy series told from a female perspective, and Balfe maintained a lovely balance of bewilderment at her situation, rational assessment and defiant competence in dealing with it.

Outlander is beautifully shot throughout, which somewhat makes up for some of the early tedium. It may not ever rise to the level of enthralling. But by the second episode, the story at hand is flexing a firmer grip.

A promising period drama/time travel adventure is in serious danger of being smothered to death.
April 06, 2015
Always fascinating and often quite odd, mad, and weird, Outlander has the most peculiar mix of gothic horror, swashbuckling adventure, magical fantasy, and romance you're likely to experience on TV.

It knows the stories it wants to tell and the strongest way to tell them.
August 08, 2014
It's period drama, unfolding at a period pace. Whether you get hooked probably depends on how you like Claire [Caitriona Balfe]. It's hard not to.

Viewers drawn to star-crossed romance are most likely to get absorbed in Outlander, which benefits from beautiful production design - great location work with filming in Scotland.
