| | HIGHLANDER TV SERIES - SEASON ONE DVD |
 | | A thin fantasy of empowerment conceit (junior Nietzsche) that has spawned five feature films, two television series, what look to be two animated series, and a collectible card game, it's a franchise with legs that has the distinction of crafting its own simplistic mythology from tired loam. |
 | | Like almost any television series, however, the shows do get better as the season progresses--a lot of that having to do, probably, with character introductions and premise establishment handled in the first few episodes, and Lambert only making a cameo in the first. |
 | | The series is sort of misogynistic it goes without saying, but the casting of Tess as a sub-literate victim/hysterical siren is frankly too hilarious to overly offend. |
