Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

David del Real Note: Most of my reviews contain some spoilers, but I always try that none of these "spoilers actually spoil" any important surprises of the narrative arc. These series present us a new "Highlander", it's a spin off of the "Highlander family" of films and gives us a story where the immortals can ,seemingly, actually be born on our planet.One of the most important things about "Highlander, the series" is that its length helps to understand the relationships between the characters very deeply. Many characters are hundreds or even thousands of years old and show us how the same person performs in different places and times. Many of the most interesting dialogues in these series (like the ones between Duncan (Adrian Paul) and Methos (Peter Wingfield) occur between characters that were born with hundreds of years of difference or in opposite cultural environments. As many long series, it presents us dozens of characters during its seasons and most of them only appear in one episode or two, but it has also many of them that appear very regularly and can be observed during very different aspects of their personalities. It is also very rich in characters that fall in the categories of anti-heroes or anti-villains which makes the plots very interesting.One of my favorite aspects in "Highlander, the series" is its bravery to base some of its plots on biblical references, which emphasizes the idea that if the heroes can't win, the onslaught to come could literally reach "biblical proportions."Last but not least, it is very rich in its martial arts scenes and styles, it even had the participation of Master Swordsman Bob Anderson, the same man who did the "Darth Vader" sword fights for the 4-6 Star Wars trilogy.How does this title compare to another similar series? Its clearly above the average action series and shows a bigger variety of scenarios that many historical series.How does "Highlander the series" compare to "Highlander, the Raven" and "Highlander, the animated series" ? I think it is the best of the three, but "Highlander the Raven" has some good episodes too.Thanks for reading

Rislanderinks Highlander:The Series is a very intriguing series. The characters are well drawn out, and the actors do a beautiful job bringing them to life. The characters change a little through the seasons as the actors become comfortable and give them shape and color.The series does not depend totally on martial arts or sword fighting and special effects--although they are important. The stories are character studies, good versus evil, and some not so precisely defined evil. While most of the shows are dramatic, there are some lighthearted episodes--which I think are the best--some sequences even border on slapstick.Many of the stories contain an historical fiction. Our immortal heroes have lived 400+ years and have helped shape the world. The flashbacks into past lives can be dramatic or comical.If you're looking for a good escape, this will do it for you. It also doesn't hurt that the actors are very talented (and good looking)and you can tell their on-screen chemistry works. They enjoy working with one another.--Laurakkc

gkillgore In the last episode of season five, Archangel, there is a montage after --The Event--the one that kind of killed the series. When Duncan is lying there sobbing, the music comes on and replays Richie's life through the series.I think Joe, aka, Jim Byrnes was singing it. Maybe it was too short to be an actual song, only a minute or so, but what was the title? Was it Lonesome town? Lonely Town? It was really beautiful. I'd like to find it, even in mp3 or wav. I've tried to find it on the net, but the sorting through a few thousand sites- and there are a lot of fake sites that are fairly, gross.If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.

wheelsstarr I'll admit the first season wasn't all that great, but it got better. And personally, I wasn't aware the movies were good. The first was alright, but they got worse after that. Christopher Lambert isn't a very good actor either, but he did alright in the first movie, but then did horribly in the premiere to the series. Adrian Paul might have worn bad clothes (especially in the first season) and the ponytail was ridiculous, but in my opinion, his performance as Duncan Macleod seemed genuine and well done. A lot of the actors who played other immortals, at least in the first, and the actress who played Tessa weren't so good. But as I said, things got much better starting with the second season.
