Sassenach Ratings & Reviews
Tom & Lorenzo
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez
We'd be remiss in this review if we didn't point out the gold mine that is Caitriona Balfe in the lead role. That may have been the biggest surprise of all; that this largely unknown former model could give such a nuanced, soulful, heartfelt performance.
Screen Rant
David Griffin
Whether you're a loyal fan of the books or a newcomer to Outlander, Starz latest entry in the world of television dramas looks to be a story you'll want to stick with until the end.
Paste Magazine
Keri Lumm
The first episode, "Sassenach," sets the stage for much to come in the series, but in just one hour you experience a range of emotions ranging from love to panic.
IGN Movies
Amy Ratcliffe
The series is welcoming and appealing.
Tampa Bay Times
Brittany Volk
Fellow book lovers, trust me when I say this: After years of anxiety that any TV or movie adaptation could give Gabaldon's words justice, it's a relief that this show is spectacular.
TIME Magazine
Mehera Bonner
If you have a predilection for epic romances and the super-specific sub-genre that is historical time-travel fiction, then you're likely to find Outlander to be a sensory feast.
HitFix
Donna Dickens
I went into Outlander with a healthy dose of skepticism. The whole thing seemed so overwrought and meant for the "50 Shades" crowd. Let me tell you, I have never been more delighted to be wrong.
Entertainment Weekly
Amy Wilkinson
The lush, painstaking craftsmanship shows.
Den of Geek
Rebecca Jane Stokes
It's worth noting that Starz should be applauded for embracing Claire's sexuality, and not backing away from it.
TV Fanatic
Jim Halterman
Thankfully, when Claire does move from the 1940s to 1740s (1743 to be exact), there's nary a CGI effect in sight and the show is grounded firmly in a reality we can relate to and feel familiar with.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Roxane Gay
Everything about this show is, in fact, gorgeous - the actors and acting, the scenery, the costumes, the score.
AV Club
Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
In some ways, the premiere's cautious pacing works: There's a lot to digest from a story that throws history, romance, and time-travel into the pot. But easing viewers into this complex world makes for a very slow start.
The Young Folks
Gabrielle Bondi
What a joy it was to realize that Outlander was much, much better than I could've ever expected.
