Claire Beauchamp Randall, a World War II nurse, is mysteriously transported back in time to Scotland in 1743. There, she meets a spirited Highland warrior and is drawn into an epic rebellion. Moore (the series’ creator), the crew decided to keep the Gaelic words instead of translating them into English. This preserved the first-person narrative by 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), a foreign alternative film starring actor and singer Gustavo Goulart. ; An American expression that only began to be used in the 19th century. The opening song changes from season to season to reflect what is happening in the storyline. 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 is added to the opening theme. During season 3, tribal drums are added, as much of the season is set in the West Indies. In season 4, bluegrass fiddle and banjo are added, and some of the lyrics are sung with a Southern accent, as the season is set mostly in America.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. The music, the setting, the characters were perfect. However, after season 3, it took a huge leap in my head and it started to get really boring. Brianna and Rodger are really annoying and Brianna in particular is hard to watch sometimes.
It’s really disappointing because it was such an amazing show. I watched season 4 and I’m still on season 5 but it just became clear that her magic will never come back. I’m not sure if it’s the same story as the book but I did but the books and I think I’ll read them.
