Die Maske der Königin

The show is very well scripted with phenomenal acting by the star and the co-stars. Queen of Swords is an obvious female Zorro but with some differences which make the series relevant to Y2K and more interesting than the old Zorro series. The scripts are able to cover a great amount of information in 43 minutes so the viewer feels satisfied but not confused about how the story got from point A to point B. The show reminds one of Batgirl and Xena mixed together, but better. Definitely a memorable piece of television to start off this millennium.

I love the new ZORRO babe, she will definitely run Xena out of town. Original story lines, really adds allure this soon to be made classic. If only the original writers of ZORRO could come up with such outrageous materiel, maybe then it would not have been cancelled. Despite the wonderful script, and character development, at least there is a babe!!!

I, too, thought, "A female Zorro," when I saw the description. I loved the Zorro movie and figured I'd watch. As the show has progressed it has been made clear that though that is an inspiration this is not "just a rip-off in drag." There is a great deal of style and humour in the scripts. The action is excellent, but there is character development as well. Poetic justice is common; moral values are there, but not shoved down a viewer's throat. This series will last--and deserves to. This is one I won't miss--it's programmed into the VCR for weekly so I can never manage to forget it.

but different. not only for a female version of one of great heroes of modern literature, but for the art of Tessie Santiago to create a character on her size. justice has its special nuances and the courage to propose new form of old story is not only ambition. because not only fight scenes are remarkable but the grace of a hero - brave, smart, generous - and feminine.the dialogs, the science to not create a Manichean tale, the basic values in right package, the music and the atmosphere who reminds more than a feminist version.that is the heart of this series. its source of charm and identity sign in a long tradition of Zorro movies

I must say I find a series Refreshingly good. The stories and the plot seem interesting. The main hero or heroine is not only beautiful, but likable. Many of the other characters are pretty interesting. Especially the American captain. If the series was made for Portugal as I've read, it makes me wonder what their views on Americans are the way this captain behaves.

A couple of negatives. When Tessa is sword fighting, I find that believable. When she's engaged in hand-in-hand combat with men, it's rather ridiculous. I was watching an episode last night with my wife, and I said to her you could handle three of those guys, the guards that wear the long tall hats, Yourself at the same time for real with how bad of fighters they are. If they were really that bad in real life. And my wife is only 5 foot tall. She laughingly agreed and thought she Would pull off all their testicles pretty quickly. Plus, I've seen Tessa pull guys off horses. Does anyone really realize how hard it is to pull a man off a horse when you're on the ground?

Anyway, other than these couple of somewhat unrealistic things, it's decent show. I would advise it.
