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.

In some episodes, characters say “OK”

This kept the narrative in the first person while showing Claire’s inability to understand Gaelic. 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. In the second half of the second season (which is mostly about the buildup to war), a militaristic drum roll is added to the opening song. During the third season, tribal drums are added because much of the season is set in the West Indies.

Appeared in Outlander: An Epic Adaptation (2015)

In the fourth season, bluegrass fiddle and banjo are added, and some lyrics are sung in a southern accent because the season is mostly set in America.

The plot remains interesting throughout the series

It is visually stunning and the acting is fantastic, except for Sophie Skelton. Her acting is some of the worst I have ever seen.
