Highlander (1992)

In the shadowy folds of our world, beyond the boundaries of ordinary life, exists a realm of immortality, a concept as alluring as it is terrifying. "Highlander," a riveting TV series inspired by the successful film of the same name, invites us into this world through the life of Duncan MacLeod, a clansman of film protagonist Connor MacLeod. Duncan, an immortal who has traversed the turbulent seas of time for four centuries, is constantly stalked by the specter of death—though not from old age or disease, but from other immortals, hungry for the power that can only be obtained by beheading their peers. His journey through this eternal life is peppered with attempts at normalcy—most notably, a relationship with his French girlfriend, Tessa, and taking in a street-wise youngster named Richie. The latter becomes a confidant, and ultimately an ally, when he too discovers his own immortality. However, their existence is further complicated by the revelation of a secret society known as 'The Watchers,' a group of mortals who, unbeknownst to Duncan, have been observing and recording the actions of immortals for centuries. While most Watchers remain passive, a rogue faction views the immortals as abominations, intent on their destruction. Joe Dawson, the Watcher assigned to Duncan, becomes a pivotal character, adding another layer of intrigue to the narrative. As if the constant threat from other immortals and the Watchers isn't enough, Duncan's life is further complicated by Amanda, a fellow immortal and thief. Duncan's attempts at reforming her provide sporadic success and endless entertainment. Adding to the richness of the plot, Duncan encounters Methos, said to be the oldest living immortal, hinting at stories stretching back into the very dawn of civilization. "Highlander" delivers an intriguing blend of modern and ancient settings, with its narrative splitting between North America and Europe, mainly France. Throughout the series, the audience is swept up in the tumultuous currents of immortality, a life filled with exhilarating encounters, heart-wrenching losses, and the relentless pursuit of survival. Watch as Duncan MacLeod navigates this eternal existence, fighting to uphold his values in a world where life and death are as fluid as the centuries he has endured.
