MY Outlander Review – Crème de Menthe
Lies, Sex and Murder. Oh yes, and Jamie proves he can also be a bit of a twat.Contains SPOILERS. After last week’s episode, this episode was always going to be a bit of an anti-climax. But after such a longed-for reunion, I didn’t expect the cracks between our two lovers to show so soon, even […]
