pascale L @RT14673760 12/08/2023 I really enjoyed that show after getting back from my shift at midnight, cutting heads, going to another place & time, sword fighting, etc. After studying Philsophy & Religious Studies, I just have some issues about the inferred world view of the Source of all things (the creator of life & the universe) as not being real or the hypocrite christian, the norm to base that belief on. Arguments, both on the scientist atheistic, materialistic or naturalistic frameword vs scientific believers or agnostic views have evolved a lot since then, and I think that the latest was understimated and put down more than it should have by a not so honest character. See more 02/24/2022 Great acting by Adrian Paul as Duncan Mccleud who has lived over 400 years seen many of his friends die and yet always tries to help and fights against evil from immortals to everyday humans .his allies include Richie Ryan and Joe Dawson great acting great stories that expand the Highlander storyline . See more 01/29/2021 This show is one of the few gems from the 1990's that shows that the writing on this really stuck to being pretty good, and the actors playing the part well. It's a show not afraid of the bombastic and at times absurd, living up to its 1986 Heritage and the original theme song by Queen. See more 01/16/2020 Stellar show on an epic scale. Binge it!!
