Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe actors portraying the 18th century Scots did a sort of boot camp to learn Gaelic and make sure it was word perfect. Ironically the one person who knew how to speak Gaelic is Caitriona Balfe who plays Clare who does not know how to speak it.
- GoofsIn a few episodes, characters say"OK." An American term that didn't come into use until the 19th Century.
- Crazy creditsThe opening song changes from season to season to reflect what's happening in the story line. In the first half of Season 2 (which is set in France), part of the lyrics are in French. In the second half of Season 2 (which is mostly about preparing for war), there is a militaristic drum roll added to the opening song. During Season 3, there are tribal drums added because much of the season is set in the West Indies. In Season 4, bluegrass fiddle and banjos are added, plus some of the lyrics are sung with a Southern accent because the season is set mostly in America.

Better Than Expected!
Outlander was so much better than I expected it to be. It's much more than just another love story. I just got caught up through the latest season and floored by how much I enjoyed it. It is so well written and acted that you really come to care for these characters and what happens to them. It's also beautifully shot, everything from the cinematography to the costumes are excellent. The overall production value on this s as good as anything on tv. I do have to say the the last few seasons weren't quite as good as the earlier ones but they're still worth watching. If you haven't seen this yet then do yourself a favor and go watch as soon as possible!
