Narrative
Claire Beauchamp Randall, a nurse in World War II, is mysteriously transported back in time to Scotland in 1743. There, she meets an extraordinary Highland warrior and is drawn into an epic rebellion. Moore (the TV series’ developer), his team decided to keep the Gaelic words instead of translating them into English. This kept the narrative in the first person, showing Claire’s inability to understand Gaelic.
In several episodes, characters say “OK”
This idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he saw something similar in Skin Deep (1998), an alternative foreign film starring actor and singer Gustavo Goulart. ; An American term that did not come into use until the 19th century. The opening song changes from season to season to reflect what is happening in the story. In the first half of season 2 (which takes place in France), some of the lyrics are in French.

In the second half of season 2 (which is mainly about preparing for war), a militaristic drum roll is added to the opening theme song. During season 3, tribal drums are added, as much of the season is set in the West Indies. In season 4, bluegrass fiddles and banjos are added, plus some of the lyrics are sung with a Southern accent, as the season is mostly set in America.

It’s much more than just another love story
Outlander was much better than I expected it to be. I just got caught up on the last season and was amazed at how much I enjoyed it. It’s so well written and acted that you actually care about these characters and what happens to them. It’s also beautifully shot, everything from the cinematography to the costumes is excellent.
The overall production value is as good as anything on TV
I have to say that the last few seasons haven’t been as good as the previous ones, but they’re still worth watching. If you haven’t seen this yet, do yourself a favor and go watch it ASAP!
