What a series, what good characters and what found memories to have; espically with such characters as Fitz! ( quote/title may not be exact) I never really watched any of the series, I only watched the movies. But that changed when I got the chance to get my hands on the dvd set of season 1. After that I tried finding the rest of it and wound up here on Hulu thankfully. Took me 3 months to finish seasons 2-6.
This is by far one of the best tv series there was in the 90s, no doubt about it. To have a hero like Duncan Macleod, with his swordplay and his teachers, is something that I think is missing today in a sense. All the main characters were great from Richie and Tessa, to Amanda, Methos and of course Fitz; lol even that frenchman whose name I forget and Charlie DeSalvo were good characters.
The stories and the way Mac would approach things made an impact on me, making me think about my own life and those around me; like Lost, Star Trek, House and Battlestar Galactica, the show has left an impression on me that helps me view life in a different perspective for the better, than if I wouldn't have seen it.
The best seasons in my opinion would have to be 3-4, with notable mentions of some episodes from seasons 1, 2, and 5. Season 6 just seemed to be out sync with a part of the show, like the engine was winding down; if things had been different, if could have gone on for longer. The ending is bittersweet, as it ends the series in a good way, but at the same time they weren't the best episodes that I've seen. Good show that ended too soon.
In the end, Highlander was a really good series that gave everyone something to reflect on and taught us a little something about life and history; man what wonders one could see if you were immortal. Thanks to the people who created the series and to Hulu for putting it up!
