TV Series - Highlander - 6 seasons - 92-98 - 5 stars out of 5 stars


Maybe the best TV show not named star trek ever made,maybe,can there be more than one??? What do you like in a series?? Romance?? Tragedy??History??Action,Sci fi,adventure??You name it,its here in 5 wonderful seasons,the 6th is mainly bunch of pilots for a future spinoff show called "Raven",so they don't count.I reviewed the movie"Highlander"on this blog,of which this show is itself a spinoff,but its far better in scope and script.Adrian Paul IS the Highlander much as Bill Shatner IS captain Kirk in Star Trek. The show stands on his interpretation of the tormented immortal who can not be killed unless you take his head !!!!We are treated to his loves,adventures and life through flashbacks as he encounters others like himself.It fantastic fantasy entertainment.The opening sequence of the show as a trailer follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.Must see bucket list TV.

Taken from the film, Highlander, Duncan MacLeod, clansman of Connor in the film also finds he is being stalked by not only other immortals trying to kill him before the time of the gathering, but also a secret society of mortals who call themselves 'The Watchers' and also seem intent on killing him. Duncan and the other immortals can only be killed by decapitation and often live for centuries. Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>
