‘Outlander’ is TV’s sexiest show, but it’s also a great lesson in how to listen

When was the last time anyone really heard what you were saying? There are great reasons to watch Starz’s period romance drama “Outlander,” starting with the sex and sometimes ending with the sex. But for now, I’d like to praise what happens between the show’s main characters when they are clothed. Okay, that’s only a small lie.
