Little Pixie Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 According to Geektown ( sorry, can't do a clicky thing on kindle ) , Outlander has been picked up by More4 and will start showing on tv later this month. Quote
Madeleine Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Yes! thank you for that news Little Pixie! Would be great to finally be able to see it. Only about 2 years behind but better late than never Quote

Madeleine Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 I've only read the first one so far as well. Wonder if they'll show both series? Quote

According to Geektown, More 4 has the rights to show Outlander from the beginning and ... Quote ‘Outlander’ will still premiere on Amazon Prime, but More4 will air the series some months later. - I`m guessing that means all the seasons will air on More4. Quote

Athena Posted June 17, 2017 Author Posted June 17, 2017 Well I can't speak for the whole thing, but I've seen the first 8 episodes (and not read the book). I will spoiler this, in case of anyone who hasn't read the book nor seen the TV show. From what I recall, in the first 8 episodes, there was some violence, and some rape attempts (and unwanted kissing and such). I also think there was some nudity by certain people but I don't recall exactly to be honest (I prefer to forget such things). I can't compare it to the book though. I would say it was less naughty than Game of Thrones, but I haven't seen Midsomer Murders so I couldn't comment on that. There is some naughtiness but not as much as in Game of Thrones that I recall. . Quote
Madeleine Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 From what I've heard, they don't stint on the more graphic aspects of some of the violence especially the torture scene, but apparently it's dealt with quite sensitively (whatever that means) and there is some full frontal male nudity. So definitely not Midsomer Murders! Quote
Little Pixie Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Thanks Gaia and Madeleine. I did wonder because of something towards the end of the book, which was quite difficult to read. Then again, imagination adds so much to things, so actually seeing the TV adaptation might not be as scary. I'm so glad that it's been picked up by a UK channel ; I did look at the DVDs quite recently, too. Quote
Madeleine Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Yes I looked at the DVDs but they were still quite pricey at the time. Quote

As I recall, the book was quite nawtee in places. I'd say for nudity and some visceral content, it's closer to Game of Thrones than Midsomer Murders - there's a lot of sexy bits in there - Claire and Jamie go at it a fair old bit, but there's also a fair bit of her and Frank. There is also some corporal punishment in the form of whipping and some sexual assault content that could be upsetting for some viewers. It's all incredibly well done though, and filmed with the female gaze in mind. <3 Quote
Madeleine Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Yep our TV guide says it's "very sexy" so probably more GoT. Quote

Madeleine Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Yep - I notice it's on from 9.00 - 10.20 (evening) which probably means loads of ads, especially if Timeless was anything to go by which seemed to have an ad break every 10 minutes or so Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 I watched the first episode on Saturday after having recorded it in the week, and then realised it was on Amazon Prime, and I've watch the first eight episodes already! I'm enjoying it, although some of it is a bit tough to watch. Think I will definitely try reading the books at some point too. Quote

I quite liked the first ep ; it did make me think I`ll get the other books ( I read Book 1 ) once the first season is done. Probably. Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 I've not looked at the books much, so don't know how they match up with the series - do you know if it's one book per television series? I'm almost finished series 1 now, I think I've got two more episodes to go. Quote
Little Pixie Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 I had a look at the last S1 ep, and I think the story from book 1 carries on a bit into the second season, but I'm really not sure. Quote
Madeleine Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 I watched the first episode last night, and really enjoyed it - one sex scene but it was done quite tastefully! I thought it was good overall, and quite well cast, although I found Clare's voiceover a bit annoying, I think there was too much of it. But apart from that, I loved it. Quote
Madeleine Posted December 25, 2017 Posted December 25, 2017 Finally finished watching this today - the last couple of eps were a tough watch but I expected it, although I did think it was a bit drawn out in places; they did stay faithful to the book though, and I was glad to see they kept the bit with the cattle stampede, which I did remember!

Madeleine Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Yay, new series (series 3 for the UK) starts next Wednesday on More 4, Culloden here we come! Quote
