Summary: The grimmest season of the show, but one of the best as well
Review: By its fourth season, Highlander was a worldwide phenomenon. This season picks up where season three left off and improves the show even more, going back to the season two feel where nothing is as it should be, and yet everything is fate.Yeah. Whatever. THE SERIES Highlander season four includes some of the best episodes in the entire show, including two directed by Adrian Paul, the excellent "Homeland" and the wonderfully mysterious "Methuselah's Gift". It also includes the two-part Methos episodes, "Chivalry", and what is arguably the greatest episode of the show, "Timeless" (easily my favorite). This season features more violence, sex (including some Adrian Paul rear nudity for you ladies), and is much more grim than the other seasons. All in all, though, it's one of the best and most important seasons in the show. [9/10] THE VIDEO Season four has some nice video, although in "Homeland" some grain is very apparent and the picture is quite dark. All the episodes are, once again, presented in their original full frame format. [8/10] THE AUDIO Season four has the same problems as the other seasons as far as audio goes. The remixes sound great, but at many times the music is blaring (although during the opening sequence, I can't say this is bad). It would be nice if Anchor Bay could fix this problem. [9/10] THE EXTRAS Highlander season four, like the previous two seasons, is loaded with special features. Watcher Chronicles, interviews, some neat deleted scenes and even some bloopers. There's enough here to keep any Highlander fan entertained for months. Outstanding. [10/10] Overall, Highlander season four is another great Anchor Bay DVD. They have no rival, no company can be their equal, take me to the future of their work ... OVERALL SCORE: [9/10]

Summary: A Season Not To Be Missed
Review: Highlander Season 4 contains many episodes that fans should not miss. It has a great deal of extra DVD features and that is what makes this collection special. There are a total of 22 episodes on eight discs and each one is action-packed. The audio commentaries from cast and crew are the highlight of the bonus features because they really take you behind-the-scenes of the story and its production. It is always interesting to hear what the cast and crew have to say. This season is one centered around identity formation and the ultimate facing of death. The friendship between Joe and MacLeod is very interesting too and it certainly put a great twist to the plot. As far as how the story developed, you will have to buy the DVD and find out then. All I have to say is that this season was more than I expected and it is a perfect lead up to season 5!!!

Summary: The Best Season of All
Review: I recently purchased seasons four, five, and six from the official highlander website. It was a bit more expensive to buy the seasons right away rather than waiting until they come out in stores, but it was well worth it. Season four is the best by far and the first episode is the best I've yet to see. It is Adrian Paul's directorial debut and it's my favorite episode of all next to season 5's Comes a Horseman. I highly recommend anyone who is a fan to get all the seasons because you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Don't miss out!
Review: Oh my, it's here and it's excellent! This is probably my favorite season of Highlander and all 22 of the episodes on 8 discs are entertaining and exciting. This is a definite must have for any Highlander fan or anyone who really enjoys martial arts and intriguing storylines. The bonus features alone are incredible and a definite must have. With commentary, bonus footage, and even a trivia game it just makes the series alot more behind-the-scenes and interactive with the viewer. I had to buy mine the first day it came out, so what are you waiting for? Go ahead and order or you'll be sorry.
