The TV series based on Diana Gabaldon's novel of the same name, Outlander, officially premieres this coming Saturday. I'm racing to finish the book before Saturday - I'm listening to the audiobook production as I write this post. The book is great, but the audio production is amazing! I'm a recent convert to the book series. I have had Outlander on my book shelf for probably 2 years now. I had heard over and over again from fellow bloggers about how great the book was and how I needed to read it - but I just never got around to it. When I heard the show was coming out, I now had the impetus to get the book read - because I'm one of those who can't watch a show or movie without having read the book first.
Starz has already posted the premiere episode on their website - available to all, not just subscribers. I will be waiting for Saturday (so I can finish the book). Here is the link to watch the premiere if you want to see it. I have read mixed reviews of the show thus far. I have enjoyed the historical productions that Starz has put on thus far, so I am interested in this one. You can check out the Outlander Starz website for information on the casting etc.
Have you watched the premiere already? What did you think? Are you excited to watch the series?

I have watched it and really liked it. I wish I had waited because it seems like a really long time until Episode 2 premieres!
ReplyDeleteThe audio versions of Outlander are all fabulous. I have read all the books and am now making my way through the audio versions.
I will be audio all the way with this series!
DeleteSaw it the trailer on Goodreads. That is cool. I have not touched the Outlander series. They have it at my library, so I may check it out.
ReplyDeleteIt was sort of intimidating because the series is so long and the individual books are quite long - but at least the first which I'm reading now is SO GOOD.
DeleteLooking forward to hearing your thoughts on Outlander.
ReplyDeleteI should have a review up maybe next week (or the following week).
DeleteI've been meaning to read this for a while now. Sighs. Someday. lol
ReplyDeleteI'm sucked in. Finished Outlander today and have already been looking at getting the others on Audible.
DeleteI haven't yet seen the first episode. I've read Outlander some time ago and liked it a lot! I am currently reading Voyager (book 3) and there are just great. And I agree with you that the audiobooks are so awesome. For book 2 I listened to the audio and the narrator was just so great :). She was great with Jamie's accent. Now everytime I read his lines, I hear her voice in my head! Good luck with finishing the book, Heather!
ReplyDeleteYes, she does have some great accents! Totally brings the characters to life.
