Free Will Ratings & Reviews
Decider
Jennifer Still
This was one of the show's more pensive episodes, one which seemed preoccupied with asking the bigger, often unanswerable questions.
Culturess
Molly Catherine Turner
It seems like the episode mostly serves as a reminder that the 1700s aren't all the glamour they're cracked up to be and that Claire, a woman of multiple decades, is keeping this in mind.
Syfy Wire
Carly Lane
When Jamie and Claire eventually reach the Beardsley home, well ... I'm just going to come out and say it: it feels like the setting of a horror movie.
AV Club
Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
It's a rather psychologically driven episode of Outlander. There's little action, but it still crafts suspense and tension in visceral ways.
Tell-Tale TV
Alicia Gilstorf
Despite the overpowering stench of horror, this episode is very much a Jamie and Claire afternoon special. It's just packaged differently.
indieWire
Amber Dowling
What no one was bargaining for, however, was the strong elements of horror that punctuated the episode.
Variety
Andrea Reiher
It may have taken the show out of the action a bit, but it certainly helped paint a picture of how awful frontier life can be.
Den of Geek
Amanda-Rae Prescott
This side plot is a huge risk in terms of keeping non-book readers invested but the trauma of the Beardsley brothers and Fanny, in particular, improves the relevance of the plot.
TV Fanatic
Carissa Pavlica
"Free Will" was a nice distraction from the bigger picture and the hunt for Murtagh, but it set into motion a worrisome set of events that could put Brianna into danger.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Maggie Fremont
While the rest of the group continues on toward Hillsborough, Jamie and Claire head over to the Beardsley house for what can only be described as Outlander Makes a Horror Movie.
Entertainment Weekly
Maureen Lee Lenker
Oh look, it's an episode of Outlander that's actually full of emotion, drama, and pathos.
Outlander TV News
Sarah Ksiazek
"Free Will" will end up being a standout episode in the series for me. While it is not my favorite episode of the series, it changed how we view one episode, doing a 360 on the usual tone of Outlander.
