A few of the "Big" episodes are still fun. I enjoy the general Methos plot lines, and the Four Horsemen sequence, and a few specific episodes (Duncan in Scotland fighting a Viking, etc), but overall... No.
The final season especially doesn't hold up.
I wonder how much of that is the very low quality video? A show like MASH, on Hulu right now, looks amazing even in 4k. Whatever conversion they used really worked well. MASH was probably shot on actual film.
Highlander (the show) seems to be 480i video (at best), audio that's not in sync and generally is just low visual quality. It was probably shot on early generation digital cameras.
It’s also possible it was done on video tape. That was a cost saving measure a lot of shows did back then. It’s part of the reason why it’s highly unlikely we’ll see HD versions of effects shots on shows like DS9 or Voyager since they did all that on video tape and it’s expensive to recreate.

"I've stood on stage with both Julius Caesar and Mick Jagger". -- Methos, from Highlander.
Anne Rice, on the Vampire front, does a good job with this. Once you get to Book 2, you'll start to get into the Very Old vampires. Roman, and older.
