What is the show about?

The series is based on the best-selling Outlander novels by Diana Gabaldon. The series was developed by Ronald D. Moore, who first came to fame by writing some of the best episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and later developed the acclaimed reboot of Battlestar Galactica.

The show itself centers on Claire Randall, played by Caitriona Balfe. In the beginning of the first season, we see her just after World War II, married to her husband Frank. They travel to Inverness, Scotland, but while exploring the wilderness, Claire finds some ancient standing stones. She is then somehow taken back in time over 200 years, to 1743. She comes across a group of Scottish Highlanders, and eventually falls in love and marries one of them, Jamie Fraser, played by Sam Heughan.
