It’s replete with the kind of manly, kilted warriors and political intrigue that might seem lifted straight from a paperback romance novel (because it is), but don’t let that fool you: The story is actually very good. Crafted with a respectable amount of historical accuracy, this top-shelf production is fun for anyone who enjoys good period romance or has ever thought lustfully about what lies under a kilt. It’s difficult to say who is more beautiful, the ravishing Caitriona Balfe (pictured) or her strapping Scotsman Sam Heughan, who head up an excellent cast. THE WORD: Outlander’s quality is less surprising when you consider its source, creator Ronald D. Moore (of the critically acclaimed Battlestar Galactica) who will follow up this 16-episode season with another 13 episodes later this year. COMING TO: Home Video
