Highlander: The Series arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry Highlander: The Series through its more ambitious moments. Duncan MacLeod cannot die -- he is a 400-year-old immortal, who has seen his share of humanity's history. Still, he risks his life in battle against other immortals and tries to save people from harm. Adrian Paul and Jim Byrnes lead a cast that makes the ambitious moments land. It ran for 6 seasons (1992–1998), and the writing holds up across every one of them. Highlander: The Series resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Highlander: The Series is satisfying on multiple levels — something to watch and something to think about after. The tonal similarities to Painkiller Jane are real, though Highlander: The Series carves out its own identity quickly. 6 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. Adrian Paul grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.

Highlander: The Series wrapped up in 1998, created by Gregory Widen — and 6 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
