According to Ronald D

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 is swept up in an epic rebellion. Moore (the show's creator), his team decided to keep the Gaelic words rather than translate them into English. This kept the narrative in the first person, showing Claire's inability to understand Gaelic. The idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he had seen something similar in the film Skin Deep (1998), an alternative foreign film starring actor and singer Gustavo Goulart.

Season 3 adds tribal drums, as most of the season takes place in the West Indies

In several episodes, the characters say "Okay." ; An American term that only came into use in the 19th century. The opening theme song changes from season to season to reflect what is happening in the story line. 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 (mostly about preparing for war), a militaristic drum roll is added to the opening song. Season 4 adds a bluesy fiddle and banjo, and some of the songs are sung with a southern accent, as the season takes place mostly in America.

This is featured in 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. Outlander has been a part of my life for the past 23 years. I have read it countless times, in fact I started again yesterday. I am proud and humbled to be one of the original seven ladies of Lallybroch, associated with one of the first global groups dedicated to Diana Gabaldon and The Books. For decades, the cinematography of the Book version has teased and teased us, flirted with our imaginations and hopes.

Now it’s here

And here it is. Every detail is magnificent – ​​the script, the costumes, the sets and, yes, the actors. The series is a visual companion to The Books and is a blissful companion. It’s also an adaptation, not a verbatim recitation. Fidelity to the characters and story we love is ensured by Diana’s constant involvement in the creative process.

Caitriona Balfe truly IS Claire, as Sam Heughan IS Jamie

She fiercely protects her story and, with it, her fans, who are both legion and legend. Hats off to Ron Moore, Maril Davis and the entire crew (Terry for the amazing costumes) for giving us Outlander…
