Ronald D. Moore brings to the small screen an adaption of
Diana Gabaldon’s book series but so cinematic it feels like you’re watching an
epic film of the large screen. It’s the
story of a WWII nurse named Claire from 1945 who gets stuck back in time in
Scotland in the mid-1700s. Separated
from her husband she must survive by accompanying a group of Highlanders on
their mission to fight the King of England.
Soon she becomes infatuated by a young Scot named Jamie who falls in
love with her. The love story is
intoxicating and more sexy than I thought possible. You can see why this romance series is so
popular. What’s especially fantastic
about this show is how well-crafted it is. The production design is some of the best
I’ve seen and the acting is on par with the best as well. Caitriona Balfe is perfectly cast as Claire;
her emotional intensity is so enduring you can’t help but be captivated by her
plight. Will she be able to get back to
her husband in the modern world or be forced to stay in the past? What does her heart want? Great entertainment. Grade: A
