Flashbacks
 | 1897, New York,

is shot by a corrupt cop, Morgan intervenes, only to be shot too.
This triggers his latent Immortality and begins a century-old
vendetta against the Grady's. |

 | Morgan Kenworthy |
Trivia
 | Cedric Smith hails from Bournemouth in Dorset,
but has a long and varied career in television, including a starring
voice role as Professor Charles Xavier in the early 90s X-Men
cartoon series. See his full list of credits at the IMDB
here. |
 | This is the first of seven episodes featuring
Bert Myers. Hannes Jaenicke is German-born, American-bred and
divides his time between both countries. |
 | Carolyn Dunn has a credit from the original
Highlander series, playing Nora Fontaine in
B13, 'Bless This Child'. |
Verdict
Great idea, poor execution. Morgan Kenworthy is the latest in a long
line of Immortals where the distinction between black and white is
blurred - it's hard not to feel sympathy for his character while
deploring his obsession with revenge. But things plod along too
sedately with Amanda relegated to a largely peripheral role. C+
