According to Ronald D
Tale
Claire Beauchamp Randall, a World War II nurse, is mysteriously transported back in time to Scotland in 1743. There, she meets a dashing Highland warrior and is swept up in an epic rebellion. Moore (the show’s creator), his team decided to keep the Gaelic words rather than translate them into English. This kept the narrative in the first person, showing Claire’s inability to understand Gaelic.
The opening theme song changes from season to season to reflect what is happening in the story line
The idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he had seen something similar in the film Skin Deep (1998), an alternative foreign film starring actor and singer Gustavo Goulart. In several episodes, the characters say “Okay.” ; An American term that only came into use in the 19th century. 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 (mostly about preparing for war), a militaristic drum roll is added to the opening theme song.

Season 3 adds tribal drums, as most of the season takes place in the West Indies. Season 4 adds a bluesy fiddle and banjo, and some of the songs are sung with a southern accent, as the season takes place mostly in America.

I was late to discovering this series and managed to get through it all in season 7A in a month.
But God, the start of season 3 was a tough one
The first 2 seasons feel like a completely different show, it has me hooked and craving another episode. I know a lot of people don’t like Richard, but man, I love him as Roger, he just gives the character realism to me. But Sophie comes across as an acting student trying too hard to play a spoiled brat. Her scenes are absolutely painful to watch, and there’s no chemistry between her and Richard, and who came up with that terrible accent?
