The continuing adventures of Duncan MacLeod
|
Fans of this franchise will recognize the second season of this internationally popular series as a pivotal one. The first season had found the series 'voice', establishing how the series was going to be different from the movie franchise. By the second season the ground rules had been established for the most part, leaving the possibilities open to really define the characters and delve into the problems of immortality. The episodes in this season were able to move beyond the "swordfight with the guest Immortal of the week" format and go to more character driven stories.
The season begins with the 'Watchers' which introduces the secret organization that watches and records the lives of the Immortals, a revelation that results in MacLeod getting a new friend and a new enemy. A few episodes later in the heartbreaking 'The Darkness' Tessa and Richie are both killed but only Richie returns as an Immortal. This season also sees Mac moving to the dojo and meeting Charlie DiSalvo who will be a recurring character.
The later part of the season returns to Paris and the barge where Mac must come to terms with the recent changes in his life: his role as Richie's teacher; the existence of the Watchers and the losses of friend, Darius (Season 1) and Tessa.
In addition to the episodes themselves each episode includes at least a brief interview giving some background of that episode and has 'Watcher Chronicles' giving character bios from that episode. Three episodes (The Return of Amanda; Revenge of the Sword and Run for Your Life) also include video and audio commentary with Adrian Paul. The final disc is a CD-ROM that includes a triva game; all the Season 2 scripts and bios on the season's actors and directors. This bonus disc, unlike some included in some other dvd sets, plays on Mac as well as PC systems - a happy bonus for Mac users like this reviewer.
This is a definite must have for Highlander fans, even the most casual. As always with this series the stories are, for the greater part, well written and the characters compelling abd the production values are consistently high making this a set that can be enjoyed through multiple viewings. |
