Outlander (2014) - Full Season 01 - Set

Picked this up as a gift for my wife, who loves the show, adored the books, and just enjoys collecting anything in a big box set. The packaging is beautiful, the discs are well-organized, and the bonus content adds nice value for fans. She's already watched it again and again—high drama, stunning Scottish landscapes, and all the Claire-and-Jamie magic intact.

I love, love, love Outlander, I am hopelessly hooked as is my adult granddaughter so of course I had to buy the series. Excellent quality, both video and audio are crystal clear and I would absolutely recommend buying Outlander season one for any and all Outlander fan including yourself. However, I would advise anyone who has only read the books and not actually seen Outlander on Starz, that there’s quite a bit of strong adult content both sexual and language in the TV series. When I was looking to buy this myself, some of reviewer’s said they had no idea there was such strong adult Content and that if they had, they would have never purchased it. I feel, as does my adult granddaughter, that all scenes including the adult content are very professionally filmed and performed by the actors. Outlander is truly a very beautiful time travel love story, written by Diana Gabaldon. Starz, with the help of all the amazing actors, has brought all her wonderful characters to life.

Let's face it, Starz Outlander is simply the best show on television. I know Game of Thrones gets all the press, but that series has absolutely nothing on Outlander and pales by comparison in terms of compelling story telling. The incredibly real and human character portrayals of Claire and Jaime by Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan leave you by turns enthralled, elated, emotionally drained and amazed as the story unfolds. What's not to like? But back to this package, as I said -- if you get Outlander you need to get this very special BluRay package of it's first season. It is magnificent in it's presentation, packaging, internal photography displays and overflowing extras that come with it. The deleted scenes alone will give you deeper insights into how the executive producer Ronald Moore thought through every detail of bringing these books by Diana Gabaldon to life. If you aren't a fan of this series or think it is just OK, then maybe I'd pass in favor of a cheaper set somewhere perhaps, but to those of us who "get" Outlander this is to my knowledge the best it gets in terms of a Season 1 package that captures the magic appropriately.

Outlander is one of the best series on television today. The source material, Diana Gabaldon's series of novels, is phenomenal. The production values are exceptional. Setting, scenery, writing, costuming, languages- they're all done with an incredible authenticity and tremendous amount of research. The acting is phenomenal. The last two episodes, in particular, are Emmy worthy, even though they weren't nominated. Tobias Menzies and Sam Heughan give performances of a lifetime and should have been recognized and honored for those performances. Caitriona Balfe, as Claire, is a vision of a feminist- the woman who can have it all. She is strong, and tender; intelligent, and headstrong; competent in her life's vocation, yet able to acknowledge the beauty of strength in her male counterparts (even if the "Bloody Scots" irritate her!). This box set provides a great memento of 20 years of waiting for Outlander to come to film. Every piece of it is beautiful and breathtaking. Having the Bear McCreary's soundtrack is such a bonus! I was able to get this on massive discount around Christmas, so if you can wait for a sale, do so. But if you can't wait, it's definitely worth it.

I read all of the Outlander series years ago. My mom had the first three books and gave them to me to read. I was HOOKED. I impatiently awaited the next book as they were released and ran to the bookstore to purchase them immediately. The characters and plot are so engaging that I couldn't put the books down. I read for hours and hours every day. When Starz released the series, I was ecstatic ! I didn't get to see any of the episodes but the first few because I couldn't afford satellite service. What I LOVE LOVE LOVE about this series is that every little detail in the book is present in the episodes. The production is flawless and the characters in the books are portrayed just as I'd imagined them. If You're a fan of Historical Drama,Action on the Battlefield, and Romance...then I suggest you explore this fantastic series. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful presentation befitting the Outlander universe. I knew I wanted this version the moment I saw it. I'd been waiting to buy the full Season 1, but couldn't decide which ones to get. I was introduced to Outlander through the Starz TV production. Little did I know when I started watching in May that the scope of the adventure ran so deep. Over the summer I read all 8 books -- they are absolutely sublime -- and I look forward with great anticipation to Book 9. The universe Diana Gabaldon has created on the written page is a masterpiece — and its physical form through the magic of film matches it in scope and spirit. I can't say enough good things about the cast and production values. They transport ME every time to 18th century Scotland! Almost as good as actually going through the stones at Craigh na Dun. As I started to say -- the presentation of this version is beautiful. The box is well made & sturdy to last for years to come — if you like that sort of thing as I do. Totally fun to open. Inside is a hard-back thick-paged book with a marvelous embossed cover, beautifully printed with color photography from the series, with a ribbon page marker. Lots of Jamie & Claire photos and other great shots from the first season. Each open spread in the book houses 1 DVD. There are a total of 7 discs as follows: 4 DVDs of the complete series. Each contains 4 episodes, plus special features. 1 DVD bonus disk of too much stuff to list here! On location info, boot camp for cast, walk through the sets, casting, wardrobe, AND The Reckoning Extended Episode. Plus deleted scenes with an introduction before each scene by Ronald Moore explaining the reasoning behind each one which is very cool. This DVD also has the Yule Log scene which is very charming and accompanied by soundtrack adaptation. Oh, there are Outlander Podcasts on this DVD also. 2 CDs of Bear McCreary’s exquisite soundtrack, with 3 bonus tracks on disc 2. (these housed on 1 spread) The box’s pull-out drawer holds the stand up frame with 5 accompanying photos that slide into it so you can change them out. The frame is made of the same material as the box, so very sturdy. Also in the pull-out drawer is the flask, which I love! The one I received is engraved with “Sassenach”, which immediately brought a smile. There you have it. A beautiful presentation of an outstanding series and story for the ages. Very happy with my purchase.

Great show! But if you play on vlc media player, or any other media player it only plays the first episode of each disc with no menu, very annoying and I spent a good chunk of time trying to figure out what was wrong. I use an external disc drive because like many people my computer doesn't have one built in. I sure didn't want Microsoft to bleed me of more money (15 bucks!) for a DVD player app of their very own🙄 Why isn't this compatible with other players?? I'm not sure if this is antipiracy crap from the DVD itself or Microsoft

This was a wonderful addition to my Blu Ray collections.
