Pros
- Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
- The longer description of a historical drama with beautiful scenery and acting and plenty of violence centered around one primary love story but also familial ties with time travel being a useful plot device was more accurate overall. Th...
- I loved outlander. It was addictive. The last two episodes of the first season were a little intense. They hired an intimacy director after season one and it tames down a bit.
- I think Outlander is great. The chemistry of the main love interests is seriously the best I have seen out of any media ever.
- I’m currently on season 5 of outlander and I’m OBSESSED. The yearning is like nothing I’ve felt before. In love with the characters.
Cons
- It's anachronistic light porn with a mix of romance, dubious consent, and straight-up rape set against beautiful scenery with an awful soundtrack.
- It's ok. Some seasons are better than others. Too much sex and SA which I skip over.
- Too rapey was how I heard it described perfectly but my sister absolutely loves the books and tv show. I hated it.
- I watched the first two seasons and I stopped it because there were too many graphic rape scenes and they made me feel sick.
- The SA scenes can be very hard to watch, I’m not gonna lie. Some of them are quite graphic.

The longer description of a historical drama with beautiful scenery and acting and plenty of violence centered around one primary love story but also familial ties with time travel being a useful plot device was more accurate overall. There's a lot more war than I would usually tolerate. But so much to watch it for, imo.

So it’s one of my all time favorite shows and I’ve rewatched the entire series about 8 times or so. ... The tension and romance is the toppest of top notches. It makes me heart skip every time. It’s fabulous storytelling
