flashback to Jamie and Claire’s (Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe, respectively)
wedding. But the peace won’t last, and not just because the American
Revolutionary War is around the corner and Jamie and Claire are both battling
with divided loyalties. Claire’s medical practice, including her desperate
struggle to find a reliable way of manufacturing penicillin, will set her up
for a horrific confrontation in the season finale when someone believes that

grief-stricken widowed Texas Ranger Cordell Walker. Look out for Jared’s
real-life wife, Genevieve, as Cordell’s murdered wife Emily, who is a ghostly
presence as Walker becomes obsessed with working out how and why she really
died. Walker isn’t a “spinning kick to the face first, ask questions later”

A tasty British crime thriller! In this

The bus driver’s lawyer has his own axe to grind, having been falsely accused
of a crime himself. The series digs into what happens when people have had
their trial, but feel that justice has not been served.
