Dubbed as the "feminist answer to Game of Thrones" in an article released by the Independent, 'Outlander' is proving itself to be highly successful in its first season run. The premise is simple - Claire Randall (who is portrayed by actress Caitriona Balfe), a nurse who lives in a post-World War II world, goes to Scotland for her honeymoon, but instead ends up being transported in time back to 1743 after encountering a set of mysterious stones. Interestingly enough, Claire travels back to a time which is set two years before the Jacobite rising.

In spite of its simplicity and at times, unapologetic craziness, 'Outlander' has many viewers hooked to it, whether in literary form or the small screen adaptation. One of the scenes in the book (which satisfyingly made it to the TV series) that fans seem to love is that of Claire and her husband Frank's honeymoon where the former's boldness of telling the other to "head southwards" and give her pleasure. This forthright Claire is a perfect tandem to the "less experienced" Jamie, and in some episodes we have seen Claire openly ogling Jamie. The portrayal of Claire as a strong and bold heroine has drawn the attention and interest of not just female, but male viewers as well.

This is not, however, the central focus of the story. The most incredible thing about 'Outlander' is how the show was so well-crafted into such a way that the characters, the plot and setting come together to form a world that is grand and majestic, yet believable as well.

In a nutshell, 'Outlander' is an exciting fantasy-time travel epic that showcases just how much attention and flair its producers has put into the show that it keeps its viewers wanting for more.
