Let’s talk about what’s good about Outlander, the time-travelling Scottish melodrama that airs on Starz and streams on Amazon Prime.

In Claire (Caitriona Balfe), Outlander features a strong, feminist lead character and the series has a refreshing approach to her sex scenes with Jamie (Sam Heughan), always filming them through the female gaze. There’s the beautiful costumes, designed with detail and care by Nina Ayres and Terry Dresbach. And, of course, there’s the television show’s beautiful vistas of Scotland captured in all of its raw and wild beauty.

Now for the bad – Outlander isn’t always the most reliable when it comes to Scottish history.
