Not only the show looks gorgeous and makes you wanna sink through the screen to visit in all these beautiful locations, but its story, events and characters are written marvelously mixing real history and fiction and planed carefully with a long term thought on its storyline. Which time to time managed to surprise viewer either with happiness, sadness or anger that I found myself experiencing many times while watching the show and it tells how invested I am towards something that I'm experiencing and caring as well as liking it a lot.
Show's emotional impact is great and it keeps interest on from the start to the end, causing impossibility for keeping breaks between episodes but binging them through on one sitting.
Lovestories can mainly be very cheesy and majority of them are written as well as executed poorly, with haste or the characters chemistry just doesn't transmit to viewer. There aren't many which managed to delivers a plausible, realistic or maybe more importantly tolerable dynamic between two lovers. First I had this feeling with Jamie and Clare, our main protagonists, but in time their love, loyalty and self-sacrifice towards eachother made me care and believing them a lot.
Events, people and problems which either tore our heros apart or unite them are nerv wrekingly frustraiting but satifying and keeps that interest high throughout the seasons. Characters are colorful and versatile and their destinies can be surprising. Many of them getting the outcomes what they deserve and you also find yourself caring many of them a lot and also picking your favorites among them.
I love how the story is constructed, who it advance and how many continent it covers. It doesn't linger, but advances building its characters and story without haste.
And finally this show wouldn't be as great without Bear McCreary's magnificent music. Which originally was the main reason for me to start watching the series and on the process finding out that Ronald D. Moore was the developer of the show. He and McCreary worked together previously on Battlestar Galactica, which happens to be one of my all time favorite shows.
Bear's tunes always manage to deliver a pleasing tracks on every situation and are, as always, chilling to hear while giving a full experience to the events on screen.
