According to Ronald D
Claire Beauchamp Randall, a nurse in World War II, is mysteriously transported back in time to Scotland in 1743. There, she meets an extraordinary Highland warrior and is drawn into an epic rebellion. Moore (the TV series’ developer), his team decided to keep the Gaelic words instead of translating them into English. This kept the narrative in the first person, showing Claire’s inability to understand Gaelic.
In several episodes, characters say “OK”
This idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he saw something similar in Skin Deep (1998), an alternative foreign film starring actor and singer Gustavo Goulart. An American term that did not come into use until the 19th century. The opening song changes from season to season to reflect what is happening in the story. 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 (which is mainly about preparing for war), a militaristic drum roll is added to the opening theme song. During season 3, tribal drums are added, as much of the season takes place in the West Indies. In season 4, bluegrass fiddles and banjos are added, plus some of the lyrics are sung with a Southern accent, as the season takes place mostly in America.

The first two seasons were amazing
I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. The music, the setting, the characters were perfect. However, it took a huge dip after season 3 and they became really boring and Brianna is hard to watch at times. It’s really disappointing because it was such an amazing show.
So I gave up on the show
I watched season 4 and still am from season 5 but it became obvious that it would never get its magic back. I’m not sure if it’s the same story as the book but I bought the books and I think I’ll read them.
