SyFy should really look into bringing back this show by producing new episodes. There's already an established following and would be an opportunity for new fans...be a great fit for the network and their original programing.
shareI agree that the series should be rebooted or "reimagined". As long as the original producers and writers aren't allowed within a thousand feet of the production. After buying and watching season one, and then seeing random episodes from the following seasons, I actually am surprised the fans are as loyal as they are.
My problems with the show:
- Firstly, was this not paid for at least in part by Showtime? It looks like a poor Canadian channel made it.
- Title sequence for season one was unbearable and ridiculous. Improved only some after that.
- Thought virtually all of the cast should have been replaced.
- Most of the episodes had very promising plots but were executed badly.
- Having nearly all the cases tie in the personal life of a team member sounds like a good idea and at least they tried to make the characters important, but it mostly just failed in this case.

If SyFy brings it back, it had better be with a co-producer so the show can have good production values. Or perhaps Showtime could do it again.

prydain, I'm surprised you had so many problems with this show. Yes, I agree about the opening in the first season. VERY CHEESY. I loved the later opening. I liked the cast. I preferred Kat when she was young. As she got older she became a spoiled brat that I just wanted to smack. My only real problem with the series is there were too many "clip shows." There was, what, 1 every season? We should have only had two. The first one in the episode where Derek was on trial for betraying the Legacy, and then in the series finale.
shareI always felt it should have taken advantage of (a) the Legacy has 'houses' across the globe, and (b) it's existed for centuries. I never really watched Highlander: The TV Series, but one of the reasons it kept going so long was its ability to jump between locales, time periods and cast, creating a sensation of variety.
