Highlander: The Raven from Davis Panzer is a television series that ran from 1998 to 1999. The show is a spin-off of the popular movie and television franchise Highlander, but with a twist. Instead of following the adventures of the immortal Scotsman Connor MacLeod, the show focuses on the character Amanda, played by Elizabeth Gracen, who is also an immortal.

Amanda is a quick-witted thief who has been around for centuries and has seen it all. She is sassy and confident, but she also has a heart of gold. The series follows her as she travels the world, stealing valuable artifacts and fighting other immortals who seek to take her head and gain her power.

Joining Elizabeth Gracen in the cast is Paul Johansson as detective Nick Wolfe, Patricia Gage as Nick's police partner, and Torri Higginson as a doctor who helps Nick and Amanda with their immortal problems. Julian Richings also appears as another immortal who serves as a mentor to Amanda.

The show is set in modern-day Paris, and each episode follows Amanda's adventures as she tries to get rich while also trying to avoid getting her head chopped off by other immortals. Amanda is a complex character who struggles with her desire to live a peaceful life and her need for adventure.

Highlander: The Raven is full of action-packed fight scenes and suspenseful plots. Fans of the Highlander franchise will enjoy seeing a new spin on the immortal world, and newcomers to the series will find it easy to follow along with the show's standalone storylines.

One of the unique aspects of the show is its focus on Amanda as the protagonist. In the Highlander franchise, female immortals were often depicted as weaker than their male counterparts, but Amanda flips this narrative on its head. She is confident and unafraid to take on any challenge.

The show's writing is top-notch, with clever dialogue that will keep viewers entertained. The chemistry between the main cast is also outstanding, with Elizabeth Gracen and Paul Johansson turning in standout performances.

Overall, Highlander: The Raven is a fantastic spin-off of the beloved franchise. With a strong female lead and exciting storylines, the show is a must-watch for fans of action and adventure.

Highlander: The Raven is a series that ran for 1 seasons (24 episodes) between September 26, 1998 and on Davis Panzer
