I loved the show, I've never read the book. Seasons 1-3 were really good, but the last season was a little disappointing. the idea of a nurse/doctor from the 20th century going back in time to the 18th century was brilliant. But i found myself fast forwarding through Claire and Jaime's puppy love scenes. I'm craving more drama, scandals. There was way too much romance for my taste. I use to love their relationship, but to see Frank and Claire's relationship crumble made me feel terrible for Frank, he was such a good man to her, it made no sense for the relationship to go the way it did to me. The romance area became "unrealistic". 20 years later Claire and Jaime reunite as if they never left each others side. I was expecting a little more drama when Claire came back. Like maybe Jaime really did fall in love again like everyone else would after 20 years. But i never read the book, i want more drama/scandals and less romance.
