Could Outlander Season 4 bore the Claire and Jamie fans?
Outlander Season 4 is going to be the darkest season yet, but it could also be the dullest for some. Will it bore some of the fans?
There’s a worry that Outlander Season 4 is going to be the dullest season of the series so far. While it’s going to be dark, it’s also going to focus more Claire and Jamie settling down. But will this type of storyline bore the fans, especially those who haven’t read the books?
Showrunner Matt B. Roberts shared that the theme for the season is “home.” After years of moving from place to place, the Frasers will finally find a place to call their own. But it’s more than just finding a place. This is the chance to explore the meaning of home–is it one place or can you find “home” depending on the people you’re around.
