'Outlander' review: 'Do No Harm' was intense but nothing is more obscure than the Frasers' search for a place to call home
'Outlander' may have shocked fans with its season 4 premiere last week but this Sunday's episode left many speechless with 'Do No Harm,' already scaling the intensity of the fantastical, time-traveling drama that is now focused on defining or perhaps shattering the term; the American Dream.
Last week's conclusion of murder and raid set to a backdrop of Ray Charles' cover of 'America the Beautiful' playing, ironically, was already a hint Claire and Jamie Fraser would not have a smooth-sailing life in colonial America. Episode 2 makes it clear as to why the Frasers will forever be in conflict with the times; because Claire is obviously not from the era. Her 20th-century ideals are constantly in friction with the people of the 1760s, even if they are the kindest and warmest of sorts.
