I find the character of Claire, as well as Brianna, to be so irritating with the hypocrisy and selfishness. Claire is the epitome of a doctor with God complex. As a surgeon, she wouldn't have been trained so deeply in disease, and certainly not in dentistry! That obsession she has to demand everyone bow to her vow as a doctor is pathetic She thinks nothing takes priority over her demands that she must save, heal, cure, or stay with the sick and injured and everyone is to delay their own needs because hers are the only ones of importance.
Not sure who thinks women were swearing like sailors in 1945, or even in 1968, but the vulgarity of Claire's constant use of fucking this and that is annoying. She is so self-centered that after she promised Jamie she would do as he says after her first capture by the English army that led to her spanking, she immediately went to Gailis against orders and got herself tried as a witch. It was her belligerent refusal to be honest about Bonnet as the rapist that led directly to Roger's beating, yet both Claire & Brianna put 100% of the blame on Jamie and refusal to accept responsibility when they caused it.
The writers are presenting these two women as know-it-all bullies and not the strong, able women they should be.
It's a shame that Brianna and Roger didn't get a better choreographer for their intimate scenes. Those two are really hard to watch while they try to emulate the intimate scenes between Claire and Jamie. Fergus and Marcelie are the best couple in the show and we never peer into their bed. The noises that come out of Claire when she's mad, scared, upset, etc are actually so pitiful the editors should have had someone else record over them.
