Blood Of Kings HIGHLANDER Podcast EP.163: The Immortal (2000-2001) Staring Lorenzo Lamas.

Your Blood of Kings Highlander Podcast hosts Kevin Reitzel and Lee Fillingsness discuss 'The Immortal', a short lived Canadian based TV series (2000-2001), that lasted only one season (22 episodes). It starred Lorenzo Lamas as an immortal, who is over 400 years old and carries a sword. Sound familiar? Yes, some Highlander fans have shunned this series calling it a campy Highlander imitator and obvious blatant rip off of the Highlander TV series. But is it? It's is about an immortal, but instead of fighting other immortals, he fights demons as part of a revenge quest, that hide among humans, that have threaten the world for centuries. Kevin and Lee dive deep into the first 85 min television movie pilot, and discuss if this series did have an original angle worth revisiting. Kevin calls it a cross between Highlander and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, both shows that were very popular in the late 1990's.
