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.

Featured review
First seasons were incredible but boring now
The first two seasons were amazing. I could not take my eyes of the screen.
The music, the set, the characters were perfect.
However, it took a huge nosedive after season 3 and became really boring.
Brianna and Rodger are really annoying and Brianna especially is hard to watch sometimes.
It's really disappointing because it was such an amazing show. I did watch season 4 and still me of season 5 but it just became apparent that it was never going to get its magic back. So I've quit the show.
Not sure if it is the same story as the book but I did but the books and think I'm going to read those instead.
