Apr 05, 2010
Cette série met en scène les enquêtes de l'inspecteur William Frost, plus connu sous le nom de Jack, dans la ville imaginaire de Denton. Ce veuf quinquagénaire, brillant policier de l'ancienne école, n'a pas son pareil pour résoudre les affaires les plus complexes. Il a reçu la plus haute distinction civile, la croix de Georges, pour avoir été imprudemment blessé par un homme armé alors qu'il sortait d'un bar et était ivre, le jour où il a appris que sa femme, qu'il comptait quitter, était atteinte d'un cancer en phase terminale. Souvent en conflit avec ses supérieurs, désordonné et allergique à la paperasse, il est réputé pour son fichu caractère. Bourru et prenant parfois quelque liberté avec les règlements ou les procédures, il fait toutefois preuve d'empathie avec les victimes et a bon cœur. Il est assisté dans ses enquêtes par différents sergents détectives qui apportent leur point de vue particulier à la résolution de l'affaire. L'humour anglais et le ressort comique de la série sont inscrits dans les relations entre Frost et le bureaucratique Superintendant Mullett.

May 16, 1998
Duncan MacLeod est un immortel issu du même clan que Connor MacLeod, le héros des films. Il a plus de quatre cents ans et travaille comme antiquaire avec sa compagne Tessa Noël entre la ville fictive de Seacouver (contraction de Vancouver, ville de Colombie-Britannique, où a été partiellement tournée la série, et Seattle, ville au Nord-Ouest des États-Unis), et Paris. Il protège également un jeune voyou prénommé Richie. La vie quotidienne de Duncan est ponctuée de duels à l'épée avec d'autres immortels qui veulent l'éliminer. En effet, chaque immortel qui en décapite un autre libère son « quickening », et s'approprie ainsi ses connaissances et ses pouvoirs. MacLeod va donc devoir affronter des ennemis de plus en plus puissants, qu'il connaît souvent depuis plusieurs siècles (la série, comme les films, a souvent recours aux flashbacks).
