Well, this is my first appearance on The Back Porch. Although my experiences in High School and for several years after have left me with plenty of "back porch" experience. Nothing like it.
As for Outlander, it's the only show I currently follow. I was a fan of the books, so much so that I got kicked out of English class in 9th and 10th grade for reading them instead of reading the tiny books we were supposed to be reading in class (because I'd already finished them).
I've read some of the good, fantasy/sci-fi classics over the years. Harry Potter, Space Odyssey, Lord of The Rings (including The Silmarillion, which was a challenge even for me), and Enders Game. Out of all of them, The Outlander Series is my absolute favorite. The author, Diana Gabaldon, wrote the first book, simply as an exercise in learning how to write a book. It did so well that it became it's own series. I feel like I have lived another life in having read them. The show is being done perfectly. Literally the best book to screen adaptation I have ever seen.
Mainly because Diana Gabaldon is working with the director to make it. She knows that there are things that screen can do that book cannot, and vice versa.
The only thing they are doing that I don't like, is apparently doing 1 season per book. I would prefer 2 or
three seasons per book, just because I want the series to last lol
