Outlander: Season 1 [DVD]

Yes, this presentation of Outlander is the "ultimate"
Beautiful presentation befitting the Outlander universe. I knew I wanted this version the moment I saw it. I'd been waiting to buy the full Season 1, but couldn't decide which ones to get. I was introduced to Outlander through the Starz TV production. Little did I know when I started watching in May that the scope of the adventure ran so deep. Over the summer I read all 8 books -- they are absolutely sublime -- and I look forward with great anticipation to Book 9. The universe Diana Gabaldon has created on the written page is a masterpiece — and its physical form through the magic of film matches it in scope and spirit. I can't say enough good things about the cast and production values. They transport ME every time to 18th century Scotland! Almost as good as actually going through the stones at Craigh na Dun.As I started to say -- the presentation of this version is beautiful. The box is well made & sturdy to last for years to come — if you like that sort of thing as I do. Totally fun to open. Inside is a hard-back thick-paged book with a marvelous embossed cover, beautifully printed with color photography from the series, with a ribbon page marker. Lots of Jamie & Claire photos and other great shots from the first season.Each open spread in the book houses 1 DVD. There are a total of 7 discs as follows:4 DVDs of the complete series. Each contains 4 episodes, plus special features.1 DVD bonus disk of too much stuff to list here! On location info, boot camp for cast, walk through the sets, casting, wardrobe, AND The Reckoning Extended Episode. Plus deleted scenes with an introduction before each scene by Ronald Moore explaining the reasoning behind each one which is very cool. This DVD also has the Yule Log scene which is very charming and accompanied by soundtrack adaptation. Oh, there are Outlander Podcasts on this DVD also.2 CDs of Bear McCreary’s exquisite soundtrack, with 3 bonus tracks on disc 2. (these housed on 1 spread)The box’s pull-out drawer holds the stand up frame with 5 accompanying photos that slide into it so you can change them out. The frame is made of the same material as the box, so very sturdy. Also in the pull-out drawer is the flask, which I love! The one I received is engraved with “Sassenach”, which immediately brought a smile.There you have it. A beautiful presentation of an outstanding series and story for the ages. Very happy with my purchase.

Ruined it for families!
Honestly people! Couldn't someone have given a warning that this had explicit sexual scenes. That NR rating should have been an X. They took a story that could have been a delightful fantasy and made it unwatchable for families.The story, acting and scenery were wonderful, but I won't buy another episode.

No digital copy
I love this series but the Blu Ray case says digital copy, there is NO digital code. Its just the disks.

Extended and deleted scenes from Season 101 are not included.
The show itself is excellent, but there are quite a few missing deleted or extended scenes from Season 101. If these scenes are available on YouTube, then why aren’t they part of the DVD set? Feel like I’ve been cheated.

Enjoyable. Just as good as the book.
This show is great! It is sci-fi/fantasy/history/romance. The first season seems to follow the first book. So maybe that means we’ll have at least 8 seasons to enjoy. The characters are believable, the actors are perfect matches for the book’s descriptions. The language accents are so good that I need to use captions to understand them. I’ve watched all 4 seasons now and I hope this show lasts at least another five years. I’m still listening to my audio-book of “Outlander”, it’s about 36 hours long. This show is just as good as the book.

A Bit Pricey, But Glad I Did!
This Ultimate Collection of Outlander: Season One is wonderful! If you're a big fan of the Outlander television series, this is a MUST. A few notes, for those who are buying this in later years. It does come with the digital code to get the full season (both parts), however, you will only be able to access it via the UltraViolet platform. As of today, the Movies Anywhere platform does support Sony Studios titles, but as this is considered a television program, it only appears in my UV account only. Also, the "expiration date" for the digital version states, "After 12/31/18, redemption, streaming and downloading of this program may not be available." Other notes: This title is not eligible for Sony Rewards Points or the Sony Pictures Store Outlander Season 1 Offer (movies on sale for $5.99 or less) as mentioned on the enclosed flyer.All that being said, the packaging for this set is a delight, and I'm so happy to have this in my collection. I'm not sure it's worth it to all fans to pay the same $90 I shelled out, but I was more than willing.

A incredible TV series!!!!
Incredible. totally believable (well, except for that one little time travel thing). I laughed, I cried, I watched in horror, I totally lost myself. And that wedding. So absolutely perfect. Love that the series is from a female point of view.

A truly beautiful time travel love story
I love, love, love Outlander, I am hopelessly hooked as is my adult granddaughter so of course I had to buy the series. Excellent quality, both video and audio are crystal clear and I would absolutely recommend buying Outlander season one for any and all Outlander fan including yourself. However, I would advise anyone who has only read the books and not actually seen Outlander on Starz, that there’s quite a bit of strong adult content both sexual and language in the TV series. When I was looking to buy this myself, some of reviewer’s said they had no idea there was such strong adult Content and that if they had, they would have never purchased it. I feel, as does my adult granddaughter, that all scenes including the adult content are very professionally filmed and performed by the actors. Outlander is truly a very beautiful time travel love story, written by Diana Gabaldon. Starz, with the help of all the amazing actors, has brought all her wonderful characters to life.

Non c'è un orologio da taschino
Purtroppo i contenuti di questo bellissimo box non corrispondono a quelli riportati nella descrizione del prodotto. Informandomi in seguito ho visto che è un errore diffuso da tempo su vari store, ma allora perché dopo varie segnalazioni non è stato corretto? Ho sbagliato io a non leggere anche le recensioni, lo bramavo da tempo e l'ho acquistato di fretta. Precisamente non c'è un orologio da taschino, bensì una fiaschetta. Come accaduto per la stagione 2, le scene in gaelico, sono sprovviste di sottotitoli in italiano e per fortuna che in questa stagione non parlano anche in francese, altrimenti un quarto dei discorsi vanno persi.

Edizione speciale
Posso solo dire : cofanetto stupendo! Arrivato esattamente il giorno di consegna, senza imperfezioni, ben imballato. Contenuto come da descrizione a parte l’orologio che è una fiaschetta, ma sicuramente il prezzo sarebbe stato ben diverso. Avevo comunque letto le recensioni prima dell’acquisto e ne ero consapevole
