10 Reasons You Need To Start Watching Outlander
7. The Chemistry Between The Principal Characters Is Off The Charts
A lot of times shows keep their love interests apart, for fear of the story losing its heat. This is the opposite in Outlander. The show puts them together fairly early on and they never waver. Jamie and Claire are a power couple, who you never doubt are in love with one another. Their steamy love scenes are one of the most common selling points for the show, as they are brought up in almost every promotional interview.
Their performance is so believable that hardcore fans of the show spend hours on social media, speculating about if the actors are in a secret relationship in real life, despite the many assurances by Catriona Balfe and Sam Hueghan that they are only acting.
Don't misunderstand, they bicker, they get mad at one another, but this is used to increase their passion. Even when they fight, they have a relationship based in mutual respect and are always willing to set aside their differences when it matters most.
