THE VERDICT
Lovers of action-adventure and romance are bound to fall in love
with this series. The "historical" flashbacks to earlier time
periods in the Immortal's lives are awe-inspiring. The martial arts
and swashbuckling action will fix most people's action cravings and
the countless romantic "love scenes" featured in the series will
reel in the ladies too. If you've never been exposed to world of
Highlander before check this series out and see what Highlander fans
have known for years, "In The End, There Can Be Only One" -- and
this series is it!!
