  1. Since I started watching this series a year ago in November I have drowned in the fate of these characters. Amazing tension in every episode of the first season. Yes I am a sensitive woman, an artist, I have a fondness for Scotland, such atmospheres.... The second season was also surprisingly palatable. The costumes and life of the upper classes of 18th Paris shown was really interesting and, most importantly, everything had a purpose, clear and lucid. The plot developed fluid threads along the way - parental, social, etc. The return home and the main event was the finale of the whole story. I think I cried the most at "Dragonfly in Amber". - transition and those feelings 20 years later just tore me apart and ripped a void in my soul. After watching that - I was like Claire myself , in my real world kind of absent and nailed down so much it all affected me. I started watching season 3 and gave it a chance. I wanted to follow the story as it continued. At the beginning I was satisfied, but the very return of Claire disappointed me. I am not satisfied with this episode. I was missing something more, the return was too quick, making it seem so easy, as if the producers didn't want to spend more time on something so important. The conversation between the main characters alone should have lasted the whole episode - after such a return. I am aware that the emotions had died down, after all, they were more strangers to each other now than before. However, they devoted so little time to them, while already developing new threads, introducing new characters. Too soon, too much for me. Do you also have this feeling after this return episode ? I will finish this season, but I think it will be my last.... Unfortunately I don't seem to see any hope for which this series will continue to rekindle the excitement in me. I guess it's just the way it has to be that all long-running series don't have a good future. Everyone is delaying the ending of a story that has long said: 'enough is enough I'm the best I could be'. I don't like stilted stories, plots that roll the story along just to keep it going. And life seems to be one big game with many problems and events. Sometimes I've caught myself thinking, as one person wrote on the forum - I'd rather see the end of Jamie on the battlefield and Claire in a rocking chair sipping whisky at 60 and remembering the life she's lost.... I know, a sad ending, but a real one and one that leaves us with a feeling of longing eternal and unsatisfied that we will remember and return to.
