Outlander's Historical Accuracy Reviewed

The Netflix series “Outlander” takes place in the 1700s and deals with the events of an out-of-time nurse from the 20th century who finds herself caught in the drama and intrigue of the conflict between Scotland and England. It’s filled with drama, seduction, action, and betrayal, all set against the backdrop of real-world events.

But like all television, the creators of the show take liberties here and there. Not just for the sake of the storytelling, but also because it can be more expedient and less budget-busting. Despite some of the rule-bending, the showrunners of “Outlander” and the original author of the books have taken great care to make sure the show is true to the time period. This is “Outlander’s” historical accuracy reviewed.
