Spun from the popular movie series, Highlander transitioned to television with a syndicated series that ran for six seasons (1992-8), continuing the story of the MacLeod family.
Adrian Paul (currently appearing on Arrow) had the lead as Duncan MacLeod, whose brother, Connor (Christopher Lambert) was the hero of the movie series.
As with a lot of shows in their later years, my folks caught up with Highlander via daytime reruns on cable. Not sure if they actually followed the series in first-run episodes.
Anyway, Jim Byrnes (ex-Wiseguy) joined the show at an early point, and eventually became the narrator in his role as Joe Dawson, a Watcher who was a sort of mentor-guardian to Duncan.
Following is a sample episode. Title song is performed by Queen.
Rating: B.
