Highlander (1992)
Bad Fanfiction with Good Production Value
It comes across like some cheesy fan made story with b-movie laughable plots and dialogue that drag on like some immortal knock knock joke.
The fighting scenes are sped up and done with close ups. The cinematography is typical for television of the 90s. There was nice set design and set locations. You also have some above average acting from guest stars. This does not detract from a plot that feels silly and or over-dramatic.
The only reason a show like this was successful is because of when it was made, it aired on cable tv, most likely the cast and crew got along, and most importantly the budget could be justified in average ratings and dvd sales of the time.

...stories evolve
It took a lot of effort by Asimov and Editors to turn short stories into a trilogy of cohesive books. By the same notion Screen Writers and Show Runners had to reshape the saga into something filmable. This means we end up with combinations of characters, plots, and settings that stay true to theme and overall intention of the original author.
Given all that I've been pleasantly surprised by this production.
Mr. Arkadin (1955)
which version?
Watch the "Mr Arkadin" version. That's better overall (editing, acting)
A strange story about character and the impression we leave on people. Thematically strong w/ an inconsistent plot. Strong climax.
