Highlander: The Series
TV Show • 1992 • Drama
ReportHighlander: The Series is a fantasy science fiction action-adventure television series featuring Duncan MacLeod of the Scottish Clan MacLeod, as the Highlander. It was an offshoot and another alternate sequel of the 1986 feature film with a twist: Connor MacLeod did not win the prize and Immortals still exist post-1985. In fact, original Highlander star Christopher Lambert appeared in the Pilot episode so as to pass the torch to Adrian Paul. The series was an international hit and was nominated three times for the Gemini Awards and once for a Saturn Award in 1998.

Surprisingly little blood for a show featuring swordfights and decapitations, but there wasn't much gore on tv then, if it were on now...

There is decapitation in almost every episode, although it is not depicted in a graphic, gory way.

The main character is struck by a hit-and-run. If he had not been an immortal, he would have died.

Every time an immortal takes another immortals head in a swordfight, they get their power in a "quickening" involving lots of flashing lightning like effects.

The two main characters appear the same age, but the main character is an immortal, so he is technically several hundred years older than his girlfriend. There are also a few other episodes featuring a similar dynamic with other immortal characters.

The crime being investigated in this episode is a rape. It is not shown on-screen, but the camera cuts away just before it.

In season 1 episode Free Fall, a woman makes a tight fist, running her nails into the palm of her hand until it is covered in blood.
