The Outlander book series is truly wonderful-- I have read and re-read the entire collection countless times since they started coming out in the early 1990's. I (and apparently many others) couldn't understand why no one was bringing the story to film, and really had given up hope that anyone would after all this time. Finally, it has happened, and amazingly enough, the series is proving to do ample justice to the books. The acting is top-notch, and with Season One just finishing its run here in the U.S., I think I can speak for many in saying that the three lead actors (Sam, Caitriona, and Tobias) deserve to win Emmys, particularly in light of the tour-de-force of the season finale. The raw and wrenching performance by Tobias Menzies was especially noteworthy-- he dared to tackle especially difficult material with surreal finesse. In all respects, this series excels. Bravo to its creators. Don't miss it!
