Review: This DVD set introduces us to the life of Duncan MacLeod, of the Clan MacLeod! A play from the great film 'Highlander' this series is packed with action and romance, comedy and drama; not only a favorite of sci-fi fans, but a favorite of fans of good, fun drama. The romance is packed into this set with Duncan's love interest, Tessa. I just can't get enough!In addition to the wonderful 22 episodes this set also includes such fun extras as bloopers and outtakes, behind the scene commentary, and the watcher's chronicles!

Summary: HIGHLANDER THE SERIES ...THE BEGINNING
Review: This first season of Highlander was very good. The characters were developed quickly and the story lines kept improving. The action was never misplaced. This season draws the viewer into the lives of Immortals and how their way of life effects them and the people they are close to. The season starts off running and never stops. Once you begin you will want to continue to explore the life of Duncan Macleod the Highlander!

Summary: One of all-time great SF/Fantasy TV series
Review: This is a compilation of the first year of one of the all-time greatest science fiction/fantasy TV series. It involves Immortals who live here on earth with us mortals, but most of us don't know they are immortal. They are those seemingly superhuman people who brave the bad guys for us, and sometimes get "killed" to save us -- tho they come back to life when we're not looking! Adrian Paul plays the title role, as the immortal we would all like to either be, or have as a lover. (Every girl's fantasy of the protective, yet sensitive male.) If you have never seen any of this series, I suggest you watch the movie "Highlander: Engame" first, then, when you've fallen in love with the story, come back and purchase the series -- you won't be disappointed! There's something for every adult -- action, gore, sex, love, handsome heroes, sexy, beautiful women, interesting & thought-provoking plots, occasional humor, creepy bad guys, historical & modern story-lines, great music! NOT for children (estimate it is PG-13).

Summary: Finally Highlander DVDs.
Review: This is an amazing set. All 22 episodes with a short interview about the making of the episode and a blooper reel. It was released originally through the Highlander website this time last year for Christmas (Dec 01) but the package was really horrid. All the disks had their own box making the entire set an most a foot wide, just a touch smaller than the original VHS box set. Thank goodness they listened to our complaints 'cause this set looks so much better and at a much better price. This set has all the episodes at the entire release of 48 minutes which is the way they were released for TV in Canada and overseas. Those of us here in the states can finally see the entire episode the way it was released since we lost about 4 minutes for the TV formatting. Also there is a DVD with the original shooting scripts for this season. For those of us who just want to watch the Quickenings, there's a button on the menu of each episode that takes you right to the start of the scene. Little things that makes this set nice. Now if we can only get the Highlander producers to release the rest of the series. We're ready for season two!

Summary: I Love Highlander!
Review: This is one of my favorite shows ever! I am madly in love with Adrian Paul! He is definately god's gift to woman. Funny, handsome and just plain sexy! WOW. Anyways if you are purchasing this set, then you obviously know what the premise of Highlander is, how in the end, there can be only one immortal, and may it BE Duncan McCloud. This is actually a very good DVD set. I had absolutely no problems with it. The quality was very good, considering that the show was done a little back in the day before the extremely high tech photograpy we have now. It has the complete first season which is crucial to watching the rest of the series. I would recommend it wholeheartedly.

Summary: If you like sci-fi, or even not, you'll love this!!!
Review: This is the best set of dvd's I have ever seen. The stunning star,Ducan Mccoeld, will capture you as you go though some of his past, see him kick some butt, and romance his lover, Tessa. Season one is the best of the whole series and is the truest to the highlander plot. Certin epioses every one loves more than others, like Bad Day In Building A, but they are all very, very good. I am only 13, but I still can stay with the plot and enjoy it. If you like any sci-fi, or even not, you'll love this!

Summary: Watch The Birth of a Legend!
Review: Watch the birth of a legend! Highlander: The Series, Season 1 on DVD is a collection of all 22-episodes of the premiere season. See how it all started with Christopher Lambert reprising his role as Connor MacLeod, cousin to Duncan, as a guest star in the very first episode. "Same clan, different vintage." It was the perfect tie-in to the movies and a nice hand-off from Christopher to Adrian. From the very first episode the action, adventure and romance that would become hallmark to this series began. We see a friendship grow with Richie Ryan, a young mortal whom Duncan and Tessa befriend from the start. Season 1 also introduced us to many memorable and seminal characters such as Amanda, played by Elizabeth Gracen and Hugh Fitzcairn (Roger Daltrey), two of the best characters to repeatedly show up for all six seasons. And the recurring bad guys would become icons themselves with Peter Hudson playing the evil Watcher James Horton and Roland Gift as Xavier St. Cloud. Both of these actors made such an impact that they were brought back for several more episodes over the next six years. Many of the episodes in this first season established canon early on. Episodes such as "The Gathering," "Band of Brothers," and "The Hunters" all established core concepts that would be built upon in the years to come. This DVD collection also comes with a ton of bonus features beginning with Bill Panzer providing a short commentary before almost every episode. He addresses where story ideas came from, problems with filming, and even the untimely death of Werner Stocker, the actor who played Darius. Disc 8 contains a fantastic Blooper Real set to music and a behind the scenes 30-minute series promo produced to sell the show and introduce it to the public. You get to see many of the behind-the-scenes faces that, early on, were responsible for getting the show on the air. What's even more special is that this promo has interviews with Bob Anderson, the sword fight choreographer for Seasons 1 and 2. It is rare to find an interview with him. Highlander Season 1 is a must have for starting a Highlander DVD collection.

Summary: Good job, Anchor Bay
Review: Well if you're reading any of these reviews it's obvious that you are already a Highlander fan, so I shouldn't have to explain anything about the show here. I must say that I bought the set when it originally came out on the Highlander website, and even though it cost me an arm and a leg, I was satisfied. I read reports of how other people received defective sets, the packaging was poor, etc. etc. My set played perfectly however. Then came Anchor Bay, with a much cooler package design and a very affordable price. Needless to say, I was a bit miffed about buying it directly from Davis/Panzer. Still, it'll teach me a lesson to wait for AB to release the further seasons on DVD (Season 2 is scheduled for this summer). About the set itself, it's pretty high quality for a TV show transfer. There could have been better DVD extras, but we're really just buying this to get the Series on DVD anyway. The Season 1 shows are OK...but I'm really looking forward to Seasons 4 & 5.
