Outlander 8x10 Episode Breakdown - Series Finale
It is hard to believe, but this week we are breaking down the final episode of the Outlander series, Season 8, Episode 10, titled "And the World Was All Around Us." This show has meant so much to so many, alongside the books. I feel lucky to have been along for the ride since season four premiered, to have read the novels more than once, and to see these characters I love so much on screen for eight seasons. Breaking down this finale left me with a flurry of emotions, many of which are mixed. This breakdown points out the highlights and the critiques I had, but at the heart of it, I feel grateful that we were able to witness a proper ending and finale season given to this show. Not many shows are afforded that! So one last time, let's talk Outlander and revel in Jamie and Claire's love story together as it comes to an end on screen. *Apologies for any audio inconsistencies/issues*
