Outlander Season 2 [Blu-ray]
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
I loved that there is closed captioning available. There were so many parts in each episode that I missed a word or phrase because of the accent of the actor(s). The extra scenes for the one episode were also outstanding, and the interviews with the Executive Producer added even more depth of understanding.-L. Stanford
If you liked the first season, you have already willingly suspended your disbelief in several ways and should also enjoy the second season. I am not a history buff; the little I know comes from reading well-researched historical fiction. While I dearly love long books and long series, I confess to wool-gathering during lengthy descriptions of battles, whether on-page or on-screen. I have read all the primary Gabaldon books (am waiting to collect some of the ancillary stories), and appreciate that the television series presents battle-related events at a faster pace than the books.
Some deviations in plot points are necessary whenever books are made into movies, and those made so far for this series have been thoughtfully written. The producers and writers were most wise to bring in Ms. Gabaldon as a consultant (and guest actress), as the production shows great respect for the source material. I am looking forward to Season 3, as well as any future books about the main characters.-LarD’hass
The entire production crew of Outlander has created an amazing interpretation of Diana Gabaldon’s book series. Translating books to screen often leaves me uninspired but not with this one. Season 2 covers book 2, Dragonfly in Amber. The writers altered the story line a bit to present in one season, but the overall vision is true to the book. Sets and scenes immerse the viewer in time and place. Versailles is opulent and decadent revealing the excesses and depravities that eventually led to the French revolution. Costumes created by Terry Dresbach and her crew are well researched and historically accurate interpretations. See her website:[…] for more details. Direction and actors create complex and genuine characters. Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe bring Jamie and Claire alive. As a fan of Diana Gabaldon’s books for over 15 years, it was well worth the wait and I look forward to even greater success as the series progresses.- johanna San Inocencio
