Movie Reviews of Highlander The Series - Season 6Movie Review: Highlander's Great Ending Summary: 5 Stars
The Highlander TV Show debuted well over a decade ago, and since then it has been embraced by fans across the world. The audience views the wicked world of Immortals through the eyes of Duncan MacLeod, who is played by Adrian Paul. Many of us have read stories about Mortal and Immortal in schools, but never really contemplated on the issue of life vs. death and staying vs. continuing. These are the themes depicted in Highlander and they are what caught my attention when I first started watching the show.
Season 6 once again built upon these themes and used the concepts to develop the characters even further. As the Highlander TV Series ended with Season 6, the storyline was tied with much passion, sadness, action, and emotion. This Season started with MacLeod finally defeated Ahriman, a demonic presence that confused MacLeod to the point of accidentally killing Richie Ryan at the end of Season 5. Like its regulars, MacLeod fought off others with his swords for his life. Although these fights lacked the strength of choreograph as in previous Seasons, they were still very entertaining.
The first two episodes, "Avatar" and "Armageddon" were integral to the plot as they pretty much presented the "ending" to Highlander. In "Armageddon," MacLeod's rivalry was intensified. Moreover, with the help of Father Beaufort and Joe Dawson, MacLeod begins to find a crack in Evil's armor. However, they soon learn that anyone who helps the Champion becomes fair game for the demon. This was one of my favorite episodes from the final Season because the characters had to struggle with guilt as they came to face their own demons. The highlighted scene belonged to MacLeod's wrestles with Ahriman in the final battle. For the remaining episodes, the writers presented glimpses of how MacLeod's friends and lovers would have been without him.
Although Season 6 offered fewer episodes, the bonus video interviews with various behind-the-scenes were such special treats. In addition, several episodes have audio and video commentaries that allow the viewers to get a better understand of the show's plot and production. If you are a true fan of the show, then you will really enjoy the Finale Backstage Documentary and Immortal Memories Featurettes.
