Plots(1)
Season 2 of Outlander is based on “Dragonfly in Amber”, the second book in Diana Gabaldon’s international best‐selling series. The story begins as Claire and Jamie arrive in France, hell bent on infiltrating the Jacobite rebellion led by Prince Charles Stuart and stopping the battle of Culloden. With the help of his cousin Jared, a local wine merchant, Jamie and Claire are thrown into the lavish world of French society, where intrigue and parties are abundant, but political gain proves far less fruitful. Altering the course of history presents challenges that begin to weigh on the very fabric of their relationship. However, armed with the knowledge of what lies ahead, Claire and Jamie must race to prevent a doomed Highland uprising, and the extinction of Scottish life as they know it.

Season 2, Dragonfly in Amber provides a very nice change of location, and Claire and Jamie move to Paris, which is played by a very photogenic Prague. Drama follows drama, and intrigue in the royal court is only for the very experienced. Of course, our lovebirds' relationship goes through numerous trials, Claire is expecting a baby and Jamie is battling his demons with the face of Randall... Unfortunately, the second half of the season is just muddy Scotland again and I found my interest waning. I had to take a break from the series at this stage. More and more I'm seeing a mix of Highlander, Angélique and Xena in Outlander, although the author does reference an old Doctor Who episode. There's really no need to add more storylines from the 1960s and develop the pop culture of the time in the style of the Avengers series - there will be time for Dark Shadows later on.
