According to Ronald D

Claire Beauchamp Randall, a World War II nurse, mysteriously travels back in time to Scotland in 1743. There she meets a handsome Highland warrior and becomes embroiled in an epic rebellion. Moore (the TV series’ developer), his crew decided to keep the Gaelic words instead of translating them into English. This kept the narrative in the first person while showing Claire’s inability to understand Gaelic.

In some episodes, characters say “OK”

This idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he saw something similar in Skin Deep (1998), a foreign alternate history film starring actor and singer Gustavo Goulart. An American term that did not come into use until the 19th century. The opening theme song changes from season to season to reflect what is happening in the plot. In the first half of the second season (set in France), some of the lyrics are in French.

In the second half of season 2 (which is mostly about the buildup to war), a militaristic drum roll is added to the opening song. During season 3, tribal drums are added because so much of the season is set in the West Indies. In season 4, bluegrass fiddle and banjo are added, plus some lyrics are sung in a southern accent because the season is mostly set in America.

But oh my god the start of season 3 was a drag

I’m a latecomer to this series and managed to binge watch all the way up to season 7A in a month. The first two seasons feel like a completely different show, they keep me hooked and just wanting one more episode. I know a lot of people don’t like Richard but man, I love him as Roger, he just brings realism to the character for me. Sophie, however, comes across as a drama student trying too hard to play a spoiled brat.

Truly the wrong actress for the part

Her scenes are downright painful to watch and there is no chemistry between her and Richard, and man, who came up with that terrible accent?
