According to Ronald D
Chronology
Claire Beauchamp Randall, a World War II nurse, mysteriously travels back in time to Scotland in 1743. There she meets a handsome Highland warrior and becomes embroiled in an epic rebellion. Moore (the TV series’ developer), his crew decided to keep the Gaelic words instead of translating them into English. This kept the narrative in the first person while showing Claire’s inability to understand Gaelic.
In some episodes, characters say “OK”
This idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he saw something similar in Skin Deep (1998), a foreign alternate history film starring actor and singer Gustavo Goulart. An American term that did not come into use until the 19th century. The opening theme song changes from season to season to reflect what is happening in the plot. In the first half of the second season (set in France), some of the lyrics are in French.
Appeared in Outlander: An Epic Adaptation (2015)
In the second half of season 2 (which is mostly about the buildup to war), a militaristic drum roll is added to the opening song. During season 3, tribal drums are added because most of the season is set in the West Indies. In season 4, bluegrass fiddle and banjo are added, and some lyrics are sung in a southern accent because the season is mostly set in America.

I devoured the entire series and loved it!
I have never read the Outlander books, so I didn’t really know what to expect. I initially thought it was a show aimed only at women, but I was so wrong. This show has something for everyone and I’m so glad I finally gave it a chance because it has become one of my favorite shows! The only negative thing I have to say is that season 6 wasn’t that great, and this is coming from a fan.
