Highlander Aired From October 03, 1992 – May 16, 1998 On US Syndicated.
the story:
Running for six seasons between the fall of 1992 and the spring of 1998, Highlander: The Series was an offshoot of the Highlander movies. The story centers on the life of the Immortal Duncan MacLeod, who is a clansman to the main character from the movies, Connor MacLeod.
Immortals: All Immortals are foundlings. They age normally until their first deaths (which are always violent), at which time they "resurrect" for the first time. Afterward, they do not age, and can only be killed by beheading. All Immortals are also sterile. Immortals have normal susceptibility to the things that are fatal to mortal humans, and will "die" from them, only to resurrect shortly thereafter. Immortals sense the presence of nearby Immortals in a phenomenon called the Buzz.
Quickening: When an Immortal is beheaded, there is a powerful energy release from their body called the Quickening. This energy is absorbed by the Immortal who actually took the dead Immortal's head. When no Immortal is nearby, the Quickening dissipates. It is said to contain the power, wisdom, and experience of the beheaded Immortal.
Watchers and Hunters: The Watchers are a secret society that covertly observes the lives of the Immortals without revealing themselves. Each Immortal is assigned a Watcher, whose sole job is to monitor and record their activities. The Hunters, on the other hand, are an offshoot of the Watchers, with the stated goal of killing all Immortals.
the main cast:
Spin-offs: The movie Highlander: The Source was released in 2007. The television series Highlander: The Raven lasted for one twenty-two episode season from the fall of 1998 to the spring of 1999. In 2001, The Methos Chronicles, an animated Internet Flash-series based on Methos, a character drawn from the television series, lasted for a season of eight episodes.

Unfortunately for Marina, the rich and charming "Richard Redstone" she has tied up in the cellar is none other than Richie Ryan.
