Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish set out on a perilous trek through New Zealand in order to explore the nation's action-packed culture and geography. The on-screen banter between Heughan and McTavish feels natural thanks to their on-screen connection throughout the entire series. Their exciting exploits, meanwhile, can occasionally be overshadowed by the constant allusions to his television series Outlander.

Outlander Season 7 lacks any meaningful stakes or adventures. Conflicts arise, but as soon as they are discovered, they are resolved or the characters do not react to them. While the season is off to a rushed and rocky start, new characters do breathe a breath of fresh air into the show that promises an interesting rest of season.
