I read and loved the Diana Gabaldon books and you can tell that she has a lot of influence in making the Starz TV series. Just like her books, I had a hard time just watching one episode at a time. Each episode ends with a cliff-hanger and there just is never a dull moment. The actors chosen to play the parts are doing an excellent job of staying true to the characters. Toby Menzies is amazing as both the abandoned 1945 husband and the evil 1743 British officer who takes pleasure in other people's pain. I just finished watching the 8th episode and can't wait for the next series to come out. Anyone interested in historicals, or even time-travel will love this story.
