Witchblade

In addition to the wonderfully detailed plots and excellent characters, Witchblade was a triumph in technical performance. The sets were consistently excellent. The crew took chances (and succeeded) with different styles of lighting and camera angles. Time lapse photography and stop action were used to good effect, and yet they did not jar the viewer. The soundtrack was recognized with award nominations, and rightly so. The dialog was extraordinarily well written, and stayed fresh throughout the series. Editing was tight and crisp; there were very few lags in tempo and yet was not too fast either. One of the best production teams in years! Witchblade is a real treat to watch!

The actors and actresses were fantastic. Hemmecker and Oakie wrote some fascinating episodes... Comic book lover since the series and can't wait for the Movies!!!

Sara Pezzini wields the Witchblade and is the balancer just like the picture of Justice with her scales. The series symbolism was ahead of its time. It does have a matrix kinda feel...but more realistic.

Some of my favorite episodes dealt with Ian Nottingham and his dilemma. Love and protect Sara or break his loyalty to his master Kenneth Irons

Kenneth Irons the intriguing puppet master who also loves Sara but he loves the Witchblade more...

The series was ahead of its time...

One of the worst half-hearted attempts at fantasy, Witchblade was a clunker all the way.

The real question is why doesn't anyone bother to read the scripts before getting into production. It's especially sad for Yancy Butler whose career was eradicated by Witchblade. Did they switch the scripts on her before shooting? Did anyone warn her of what she was getting into? In a world where a number of truly bad actresses get film after film it was truly disheartening to see Ms. Butler fight against a mountain of clichés and bad lines and try to swim upstream against nonsensical plots, all rolled up in ugly, ugly, ugly cinematography.

She may never be seen again except in supporting parts on cable movies, and it's really a shame because she is talented.

At least the awful Ralph Hemecker, the man behind the bad scripts and the ridiculous look of Witchblade, seems to have completely disappeared too. Maybe there is some justice.

From the ridiculous Matrix rip-off effects, to the bad music, to the muddled incoherent story, this series is a complete embarrassment for Yancy Butler, who's the only one delivering a good performance in that truly awful show. I felt very sorry for her to be in that bad show.

I liked Witchblade as a TV series and I was disappointed when it was canceled. If this were released on DVD, I'd gladly shell out a few bucks to acquire it for my collection. There are far too few strong female characters on TV. Plus, Yancy Butler was freaking hot.

Now I do know that it departed from the story line from the comics but I also understand that sometimes that's necessary to make the show accessible to non-comicbook nerds. It was a little frustrating how they reset the entire story line after the end of season 1 but I've been asked to believe far more ridiculous plot points on other more well respected shows.
