Outlander initially offered a mix of drama, history, and romance beyond just Jamie and Claire's relationship.The show's historical and political context, like the Jacobite rebellion, took a backseat to romance in later seasons.Claire Fraser’s professional growth from nurse to surgeon was overshadowed by her role as Jamie’s physician.The nuances of time travel and the sci-fi element were often sidelined for more reunion scenes.The harsh reality of surviving in the 1700s lost its edge as the show progressed, with dangers becoming convenient plot points.Supporting characters like Lord John Grey and Murtagh lacked development compared to Jamie and Claire.Exploration of social issues and human rights often took a surface-level treatment before returning to romance.The concept of 'home' was oversimplified to romantic relationships, missing opportunities to delve into community and identity.
