Plot
Claire Beauchamp Randall, a World War II nurse, is mysteriously transported back in time to Scotland in 1743. There, she meets a dashing Highland warrior and becomes embroiled in an epic rebellion. Moore (the series’ developer), his team decided to keep the Gaelic words instead of translating them into English. This maintained the first-person narrative, showing Claire’s inability to understand Gaelic.
In some episodes, the characters say “OK” ; An American expression used only in the 19th century
The idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he had seen something similar in Skin Deep (1998), a foreign alternative film starring actor and singer Gustavo Goulart. The opening theme song changes from season to season to reflect what is happening in the story. In the first half of season 2 (which is set in France), some of the lyrics are in French. In the second half of season 2 (which is mostly about preparing for war), a militaristic drum roll is added to the opening theme.
Outlander was much better than I expected
In season 3, tribal drums are added, as most of the season is set in the West Indies. In season 4, bluegrass fiddle and banjos are added, and some of the lyrics are sung in a Southern accent, as the season is mostly set in America. It appears in the film Outlander: An Epic Adaptation (2015). The Skye Boat Song (uncredited) Traditional Scottish air with lyrics by Sir Harold Boulton New lyrics by Robert Louis Stevenson.
It’s much more than just another love story
I just caught up on the latest season and was amazed at how much I enjoyed it. It’s so well written and acted that you really start to care about these characters and what happens to them. The cinematography is also beautiful, everything from the cinematography to the costumes is excellent. The overall production value on this is as good as anything on TV.
If you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch it ASAP!
I have to say that the last few seasons haven’t been as good as the ones before, but they’re still worth watching.
