Outlander Complete Seasons 1-3 / Seasons 1,2 & 3 DVD SET [dvd]

The discs come in plastic snap cases. The final episode on the last disc of the second season didn’t play properly. There are no scratches or fingerprints on the disc so I don’t know why that episode wouldn’t play right.Outlander (2014–) starts off strong. The pilot episode is unique. I give it five stars. It didn’t remind me of any other show I’ve seen. I bought into the time travel through a rock incident because it was a one-time event at the beginning of this series. I give the first half, of the first season of this series, five stars, despite of it reminding me of Braveheart (1995) and Rob Roy (1995) at times. At the end of the first season the show turns sadistic, with torture, too much male nudity, and male on male rape. That’s why I give the first season four stars.Season two seemed like a season of Reign (2013-2017) and the third season was like a season of Black Sails (2014-2017). Long before the end of the third season I was tired of the two main protagonists and the lack of original storytelling. Basically, this series is a little bit of story, then an erotica scene with the two main protagonists, then a little more story, then another erotica scene with the two protagonists, repeat, ad nauseam. After the first couple of erotica scenes it’s like watching the same scene over and over. Very boring. And the series lost its way.The series started off as a show about a woman trying to get back to her own time and husband. Now it’s just an erotic romance novel with no purpose. The original goal has been abandoned so I’m abandoning the show. Which is why I give the second and third seasons three out of five stars.Other things that bothered me in this series include the revolving door time travel rock, which became unbelievable the more it was used. Jumping back and forth in time through a rock with pinpoint accuracy? If it was that easy to jump through time the landscape would be littered with accidental and intentional tourists. In the first two seasons the protagonists miss several opportunities to kill the bad guy, Black Jack, and the ghost of Jamie in the pilot episode is never explained or revisited. The over the top melodramatic acting and the overuse of erotica also bugged me.I found the opening sequence in each episode where the women dance around the time travel stones with original Bear McCreary music playing more entertaining than most of the episodes. McCreary has created the original theme music for more television shows I’ve watched and liked than any other composer.Three seasons with this series is more than enough. There’s so much good stuff out there to watch, so much better stuff . . .

Love the show, bu received BAD DISCS!!’ These are advertised as new, and come in sealed seasons cases, but they are definitely a cheap, substandard quality. I didn’t watch or open season one, because I bought it from another vendor, but season two has skips, places where it sticks and in one scene, it froze there- and when it resumed it it obviously skipped. But how much? I’ll never know! Any place that was done with a green screen background is very obvious, there are very obvious color gradients in many places. These are very low-quality! I was very disappointed.

2 of the discs will not play at all. Total let down when you are ready to binge watch them. I need new discs or a refund!

This craming 5 discs into one box results in damage disc. I had the same thing happen with Game of Thrones. The last disc of both wouldn't work. It's very disappointing.

I have not yet watched the whole series, but what I have watched is outstanding. This is truly entertaining and interesting to anyone with an eye for historical drama and, of course, romance. The juxtaposition of past and present lives is spellbinding, the characters finely drawn, and the scenery, while sometimes harsh, is beautiful. It encompasses the difficulty of past generations and the changing mores and attitudes. The idea of time travel is both mystifying and amazing. Outlander almost makes you believe it could be possible even though common sense tells you it's fantasy.

I should have read the reviews before buying this product. These pictures were taken right after we opened the box. I didn't think they'd play but figured I'd give it a try. The first disc played to a certain point and then kept freezing. None of the other discs would play.Clearly we're not the first to have this issue. It would seem this seller is sending the same used discs as new. Unfortunately this is a problem I've had before with other Amazon products being marked as new when they were clearly used!Honestly it's cheaper and less of a hassle to order the Starz app for 8.99 a month and just binge watch the series. The first week is free too so you could potentially see the series for free if you have a lot of time on your hands lol.

When we like a series we try get the actual DVDs so that we can play them years later and enjoy them all over again. Even if they are available on Netflix you cannot get closed captioning on streaming sites. CC is very necessary for a period piece like this.

Had reservations about purchasing these DVD' after the reviews said they are damaged. The price was right so I bought them. Season one had smudges and scratches. Since I rip all my DVD's to my server and Season 1 had two copes of each episode. I ripped the other copy, no problem. The second season had only one copy and the season Final was damaged. I copied it with a few skips in the DVD (it took 10 times longer to Rip). Don't know how this will effect people playing on a DVD player, the third season DVD's were undamaged. These DVD's are damaged, for me it was a minor problem worth the lower cost.
