  Why is it called Highlander The Raven? Amanda is not from the Highlands, thought she was from France. Some interesting views on this show can be found on www.jumptheshark.com (not a big fan i quess)

  Does anyone know if they plan on bringing out a DVD for this season. I am on season 4 of highlander right now and want to watch this show when I am done. Has this show been aired on TV at all in the last year?

  7.5 Good

  why? hide « show »

  Why did they make this show? I mean its alredy been done. If they were going to make a spinoff of highlander they should have made one with Methos. I've only seen a couple of episodes but I didnt really like them. to top it all off it got cancelled after its first season. At least they used a character that every on was familiar with off of highlander and they didnt make up some other immortal. she probably has an interesting story but not that interesting. She's just a theif. if anyone reads this review and diagrees with me I wouldnt blame them if someone put down my favorite I be mad to. Later...

  Do you agree?

  2.5 Terrible

  This show should be used as a guidebook for how to ruin a franchise and turn off fans. hide « show »

  I LOVED Highlander. The movies and the TV series. It was a great world and concept and the TV series rarely misfired (except for the 6th season). With Adrian Paul deciding to pull a Shelley Long/David Caruso, the producers got the idea to spin it off as a female centered show.
  
  Then they started going astray. First, they thought it would be good to have a male love interest for the traditional Moonlighting will they or won't they tension. Then, they decided to make it more of a private investigator show, again, ala Moonlighting. Although they tried several good actresses for the role, they made a good decision and cast existing character Amanda (played great by Elizabeth Gracen) but since her character did not fit they concept, they just ignored the conflict. SciFi fans do not like characters who suddenly and without reason just change their history and motivations. Finally, they seemed to have looked at what made the Highlander series work well and made a concious effort to avoid any of it. Especially the great characters like Joe Dawson, Methos, etc.
  
  I think Amanda is great and beautiful. As I said, I loved Highlander. I could not watch more than the first few episodes before I became so frustrated I quit even trying to tolerate it. It died a merciful death and I hate that others may see its failure as a failure of the Highlander franchise. I see it as a good reason why Highlander and Moonlighting should not mix.

  8.3 Great

  too bad it didn't lasted longer hide « show »

  this was a good show. Amanda had been much loved in Highlander and having her own series was a good idea. they casted a good lead partner (yummy Paul Johannsson) but I'm afraid the stories just weren't there. Donald Bellisario is unfortunatly right, when you put a coulpe on a show, it better not be from the start, and they must have problems, or your show goes downhill (cf JAG, where the 2 leads didn't act on their feelings for 9 years...)
  it could have been a great show for sure... and I'm sorry it wasn't
