started watching Poldark because of Aiden Turner, and someone on Reddit shared the view that it was a show in which things just happen and they didn't particularly find it interesting enough to continue watching, I thought that was the stupidest thing ever because isn't that what a show is supposed to be, a story where things happened. Well, I recently started watching Outlander, and only now I realize what the Redditor was trying to say. Both the shows set in the 18th century with quite similar conflicts would make you believe that both are one and the same, but unlike Poldark Outlander keeps you hooked with a strong story pace and dramatic conflicts while the issues and plot points in Poldark got repetitive and quite honestly boring.
