Story
Claire Beauchamp Randall, a nurse in World War II, mysteriously goes back in time to Scotland in 1743. There, she meets a dashing Highland warrior and gets drawn into an epic rebellion.. Moore (the TV Series developer) , his crew decided to keep the Gaelic words instead of translating them to English.
This maintained the first person narrative by showing Claire's inability to understand Gaelic
This idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he's seen something similar in Skin Deep (1998), a foreign alternative movie starring the actor and singer Gustavo Goulart.. In a few episodes, characters say"OK." ; An American term that didn't come into use until the 19th Century.. The opening song changes from season to season to reflect what's happening in the story line.
In the first half of Season 2 (which is set in France), part of the lyrics are in French
In the second half of Season 2 (which is mostly about preparing for war), there is a militaristic drum roll added to the opening song. During Season 3, there are tribal drums added because much of the season is set in the West Indies. In Season 4, bluegrass fiddle and banjos are added, plus some of the lyrics are sung with a Southern accent because the season is set mostly in America..

The Skye Boat Song(uncredited)Traditional Scottish air with lyrics by Sir Harold BoultonNew lyrics by Robert Louis Stevenson. I never read the Outlander books so I didn't really know what to expect. I originally thought it was a show targeted just for women but I was way wrong.
I binged the entire series and loved it!
This show has something for everyone and I'm so glad I finally gave it a chance because it's become one of my favorite shows!
