Witchblade - The Complete Series
Date undefinedexcellent tv show, too bad they had to take it off the air. I am extremely glad they put the show on cds.
Witchblade - The Complete Series
Date undefinedI was expecting a series more like the humorous and over-the-top (books) Dresden Files, but what I got was a lugubrious, badly acted, horribly written, cheesy series about a humorless warrior woman, a creepy "guardian angel"/trainer, and adversaries so silly and desperately serious I fell off the couch laughing while they spoke their ridiculous lines. "Come not between the dragon and his wrath"--this is the sort of scintillating dialogue you will be subject to. Beware! But hey, the sountrack's good, and that's why I gave it a star. Aaaahhh....
Witchblade - The Complete Series
Date undefinedThis is an item that I wanted before it even existed: the Witchblade TV series on DVD. I saw it on TV a few years back and loved it. I later discovered the comics that this series is based on but I prefer the TV version, as they are quite different.
The series is structured like a cop drama, but there are a lot of sci/fi and fantasy elements to it. The Witchblade is a magic item with enough of a personality to be subtly controlling events and Sara's destiny.
Yancy Butler plays a convincing tough yet sexy female cop, Sara Pezzini. She does a great job acting, and would reccomend this series on the strength of her personality alone.
I also especially like the dynamic between her and Nottingham (Eric Etebari). Nottingham is a secret favorite of mine, even though he's only a minor character. I'm not sure why he appeals to me so much, but he's the mysterious, cool, and somewhat weird (creepy?) lackey of the "bad guy" Kennith Irons. It's hard to figure out what his motives are, but sometimes totally the amoral assassin, sometimes he seems to be in hopeless unrequited love with Sara. But that's just my take on him...
This is a great series, and I was sad to learn it was cancelled after the second season. (On a side note, it was weird re-watching it and seeing the Twin Towers in the New York skyline...)
