Any viewer who is a huge Outlander fan will find this series underwhelming but....it is still worth watching if you like the genre of romance/time travel. Think movies like Somewhere in Time, Winter's Tale. And at this time of year (late spring), TV choices tend to thin out. As someone who is so tired of song shows, talent shows, reality shows---it is a refreshing diversion. Having read the book, seen the movie---I am always up for a new interpretation and new actors. The only minor complaint so far was that there was way too much of naked Henry and buttocks shots. And he looks so hairless/covered in cooking oil. Of course, Theo James is total eye candy and HBO has the leeway to show nudity but it is so constant....it would be more artistically interesting if the camera angle or photo set up on his "naked returns" were less full on graphic every single time---the white, perfect body , greased up and rolling around and regular buttock focus was.....more distracting than sexy or according to the story---a primal dilemma that he must overcome (get out of danger, find clothes). I would cut the glaring nude male by 40% and aim for artistic nuance of the naked return scenes.
