Outlander offers fiction based on historical events, but the Outlander historical accuracy isn’t always right. The show gives fans romance as the main draw, but it also has action, drama, incredible acting and writing, and much more. The best part is that Outlander’s historical accuracy remains strong despite being considered fantasy/historical fiction. However, because it is a fictional show, certain things are not historically accurate. These moments are hard to miss, making viewers wonder if it was a purposeful mistake for creative purposes or if the show dropped the ball.
