Plot
World War II nurse Claire Beauchamp Randall is mysteriously transported back in time to Scotland in 1743. There she meets a Highland warrior and is drawn into an epic rebellion. Moore (the series’ creator), his staff 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
The idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he saw something similar in the foreign alternative film Skin Deep (1998), 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 storyline.
Tribal drums are added in season 3, as most of the season is set in the West Indies
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 (mostly about preparing for war), a militaristic drum roll is added to the opening theme. In season 4, bluegrass fiddle and banjo were added, and some of the lyrics are sung with a Southern accent, as the season is set mostly in America.
Featured in Outlander: An Epic Adaptation (2015)
Skye Boat Song (uncredited) Traditional Scottish air song by Sir Harold Bolton with new lyrics by Robert Louis Stevenson. I’ve never read the Outlander books, so I didn’t really know what to expect. I initially thought it was a show aimed at women, but I was wrong.
I binged the entire series and absolutely loved it!
This show has something for everyone and it has become one of my favorite shows so I’m glad I finally gave it a chance! The only negative thing I have to say about it is that season 6 really wasn’t that good and that’s coming from a fan. I almost had to force myself to watch it and even had to fast forward through some of the episodes.
