‘Outlander’ fans who get quite pissed off whenever directors deviate from the novels and make any changes, but in season 5, fans have kept it low!!!
In season 5, we can see some deviation in character Murtagh Fitzgibbars which was quite appreciated by fans. In the novels, Murtagh doesn’t really have a lot of importance, but they really amped up the character in the series for sure.
Fans are totally looking forward to watching season 5. Fans even came out on Reddit to express their positivity over the change:
“I’m seriously loving the shows take on Murtagh… I’m not even mad; they kept him around.
“Generally, I want everyone to follow the books and not change the story… but good job!” cha_cha_rae added.
“I cried like a baby when Jamie found him and again when Claire saw him walking up to Fraser’s ridge.”
Agreeing with the points, fellow fan ml1490 offered: “Now that I’ve read the books, it makes sense to me why they kept him in the show.
“I was surprised to see how small a presence Murtagh actually had in the books.
“He was pretty underdeveloped and hardly spoke. He doesn’t have a connection with Claire as he does in the show.
