It's time to end it, the writing of this show has begun to move in circles and the plot devices keep repeating. Every other episode a character goes missing for a while or almost dies then it is all back to normal again. Maybe for the final batch of episodes they can break out of this.
8-th and final season has started today, airing on Starz on Fridays.
Edit 15.05.2026:
The series has ended . It was mostly aimed for female audience, the genre could be described as Chivalric romance with fantasy elements.
The show has had quite a number of erotic scenes and rather brutal violence, so NSFK.
The ending is somewhat ambigous:
Spoiler:
Either Claire healed her killed in battle husband with her magic healing powers, or they are both dead and found themselves in some kind of afterlife
Either Claire healed her killed in battle husband with her magic healing powers, or they are both dead and found themselves in some kind of afterlife
It was an alright season, but the ending is kind of a non-ending since the final novel has not yet been released. What happened in the show was already cleared up in book 9:
Spoiler:
Jamie dies and his ghost or whatever travels to 1946 and we see that scene from Season 1 where he watches Claire in the window. Then Claire indeed uses her magic blue light healing powers on him and he wakes up alive. That's also why she has completely grey hair, it took away her energy. So after the final book 10 has been released sometime in 2026 or 2027 there will probably be another true "final season", that ends with whatever the book series will end. If not, the show just ends prematurely but they're both 100% alive.

I know the book has it quite clear what happened, but the show is slightly different, has been like that for a number of seasons, so there's no obligation that finale of the series ends exactly like the 9-th book.
Spoiler:
In the short previously on the show prelude in the beginning of the finale, there was no mention of what happened in episode 3 of this season when Claire had returned to life the still born black baby and gained a lock of grey hair in the process. In the same prelude there was no mention of magic blue light that master Raymond must have used on Faith in previous seasons.
If the writers of the show intended to use this magic macguffin, they would have included it the prelude section. Instead Fanny's breaking a blue stone was included from the previous episode or the one before. Yet nothing of consequence happened in the finale that can explain why the writers included the Fanny's bit with the stone.
I assume some bad editing/splicing occurred in this final episode, and the writers themselves were not quite sure whether they are sticking to the book's ending or leaving it more ambiguous for the TV show.
