Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

stanstan41 It's been a while since I saw "Highlander", TV series. Lately I watched it again on YouTube, and I can't say I was too much impressed. Despite its original plot, show just doesn't get over being another "I'll kick your butt, bastard" plank. Yeah, I know it was made for teenagers, but still...The show is lame on everything - especially lighting and camera work. Lighting is always flat, sometimes even became grain (which is look disastrous), cameramen is unsure what they are filming, CGA effects either lame, either same. Episodes that were shot in Canada are a little bit more accurate, but that's it.First two seasons are stupid as far, as you can get with screen writing. Dull dialogues, provided by bad actors (everybody besides Elizabet Grasen and Jim Byrnes). Methos is awful - who was responsible on casting, anyway? Plot is almost always the same. Bad guy comes, Highlander wonders if he should to take his head off, and eventually does. Nobody ever thought of showing us Mcleod merging in modern society or trying to explain, how does he do it. No, it have to stay "You and me, right now!" No fantasy at all.OK, I can speak for a long time, but that's enough. I don't know why this show held on for so long. It should be over after two seasons tops. If you not teenager, and you over twenty, watch some episodes of season 4, and then quit watch it at all. I can give 5 stars from ten, and it's more than it deserves.

lightsleeper23 This show started out REALLY good. Just how I remembered it. Duncan and Tessa own and run an antique shop, in an American city, I think Seattle. Richie is introduced in the first couple minutes of episode one, and Duncan drives a bad ass 1950s Thunderbird that he parks in the alley outside the antique shop.So I'm watching the episodes on the season one DVD set, and they are introducing an entire supporting cast, with special guest stars that have recurring roles. I'm getting to know all these people, like the cop who knows Duncans secret, the slightly annoying, but endearing reporter who doesn't know anything but is suspicious of Duncan...etc. I'm getting to know and love these characters, then all of the sudden, out of nowhere in around the tenth episode, they just pick up and move the whole show to god awful France. It's like, Tess gets some job offer there, and even Richie is like "Wait a minute, we're not talking about picking up and leaving are we? I mean you guys have lives here, and a huge investment. Right?" But that is exactly what they do. Just like that.The actual production of the show moved there too. So now you have a cast ENTIRELY made up of horrible French actors. Richie is the ONLY American left on the show. Then you have French film crews, cameramen, directors, special effects people, etc. All VERY bad at their jobs. Not to mention the fact that now you have to deal with strong, intolerable French accents from, you guessed it, EVERY person on the show except Richie. And of course, Duncan has an accent, but at least it's supposed to be a Scottish one, even though you can TOTALLY tell he's English and not Scottish.After around the tenth episode, this show turns into a cheesy French film. And a bad one. Which reminds me, how come it doesn't seem the slightest bit odd to any of these other Highlander fans that French people, in France, would be speaking English ALL the time. Even to each other, when no Americans are around. This is one of the problems I have with ANY movie or TV show taking place in a foreign land. If you're going to watch a foreign film that's one thing. But do it right, get a GOOD one, with a foreign language and subtitles.Do not watch Highlander the series, except for the first ten or so episodes.

rawlins-girl i find it quite interesting that there only way of survival is by going round chopping other peoples heads of and never ageing its quite interesting the only bit i find a little boring is the quickening because you see how other immortals handle it like in the episode the modern phomethues the man levitate. i also like the idea of a Scotsman who has lived for over 400 years and comes face to face with other immortals and maybe even have fallen in love with some of them and if you have ever seen highlander the raven you would love highlander because the Amanda thats in it makes some appearance in highlander as an thief. there is also a new immortal by the name of Richie Ryan who Duncan must teach ho to survive in the immortal world. there is also an immortal who has been around for 5000 years and Duncan nust find him and save him from an immortal who wants him dead.

Elson321 This interesting highlander series has a lot more to it than action, fantasy and drama. The characters are well acted, and thought out by the actors and screenwriters, respectively. The plots were excellently written, especially linking Duncan Mcleod's past until now, the current time period. I probably think this because i have always been a fan of time period fantasy dramas such as Highlander (1992-1998), Angel (1999-2004) and Witchblade (2001-2002).I especially love it when events of the past are explained through such dramas like Highlander. One example of this is within one of my favourite episodes in 19th or 18th century historical England where Mary Shelly, the author of the famous novel called 'Frankenstein', sees one immortal get stabbed and then rise to life again. She goes on to comment that seeing such an event inspired her to write 'Frankenstein'Thought provoking questions about the series, as some members have already mention, arose such as what was it like for immortals to outlive their loved ones? What was it like to live forever? Adrian Paul as the lead actor, playing Duncan Mcleod, was excellent. His talents of martial arts and acting skills really shine in this series. Afterall, the series did last for 7 years.However, the series did have some faults. One of them being how does Duncan beat every immortal he fights, even ones who are much older, wiser and more experienced in combat than he is. I know there is the good old 'smart-aleky' answer of 'because there would be no one else to carry on the show' but it still remains a question unanswered satisfactorily. Other members have brought up even better questions that pick out the faults of this show you can read.But overall, it is an interesting and good quality series that is worth watching. After a few episodes the characters will grow on you.The interesting plots will also intrigue you. Give it a try! I give it a 4/5
