Blood Ties

I just had the chance to watch the complete series over the last few weeks and I really enjoyed the show. It's not as graphic (by miles) as True Blood or other shows, but it does have a nice little triangle, with the female lead and two male characters, who can't escape her. Since Christina Cox is playing that female character that is more than believable of course.

The actors are good, the dialog is fast and funny, the overall mood is definitely light. That's either a good or a bad thing, depending on your own views and tastes (no pun intended). Unfortunately for the show and although there are quite a few books/novels out there, the show got canceled. It did get good reviews when it ran, but the numbers (viewings) didn't match them. But that doesn't mean you won't enjoy this

I, like another that commented, ran across the movie last week by accident. It caught my attention right away. I was ecstatic when I found out it was going to be a series. In a time of not so real reality shows which I despise, it is so refreshing to find a show that is truly entertaining and actually takes you away from everyday stress to another delightful, possible world. It's like taking a mental vacation!!!! The cast is great! Kudos to the casting company! The lead female is someone you can identify with, attractive, smart, tough but not too tough and still vulnerable. Thankfully she isn't too young, unbelievably pretty or a product of silicone. The leading males are interesting both attractive but I must say I think one is more so than the other. Each with his own distinct personality. One is charming but dangerous the other is level headed and stable. The supporting cast are equally as interesting and add beautifully to the show. The writers are awesome!! The script is well written with just enough smart comebacks to give you a laugh and not be cheesy. It has wit, little twists of plot, some suspense, romance, it's just the perfect mixture. I hate when it's over but look so forward to the next episode. My thanks to all involved in this series for this wonderful bit of entertainment, may it be around for a long time to come!!!

I recently discovered this show. At first I thought it was going to be another romantic tv drama, but I was surprised. I like the chemistry between Christina Cox and Kyle Schmid. The stories are interesting as I have always liked shows like that (i.e. Supernatural), I know this series is based on "Blood Books" by Tanya Huff. I am considering getting the novels, because I am also an avid reader. So far the series is good, well written and the other cast members Gina Holden and Dylan Neal are good as well. It's too bad it only ran for 2 seasons.

Always with an open mind, I went into this show allowing it to take me wherever...........and it did. So much so I bought the books and read them too. Vicky is a cool and tough, Mike is the hard nose cop, but quickly given into whatever Vicky needs. And the vampire is so very charming, and sometimes sad, but very sensual. Together they face Henry's world that sets them in danger that takes them so over the top. Hard enough believing you know a vampire, without finding there are demons with nothing better to do than make your day even worst. So I fell for it and how Vicky manages to have two men of very different worlds by her side (what every woman could use). Looking forward to the second season..........

All right, I grudgingly watched the show and was really ready to hate it as derivative (of Witchblade) or be bored with the cliché'd vampire theme. Boy Was I Wrong! Yes...there is the tough-girl Sara Pezzini style heroine but Christine Cox holds her own creating the likable and cynical "supernatural" P.I. Vicki Nelson. I honestly expected the vampire to be broody and over done...not so. Kyle Schmid is surprisingly charming as the Lothario comic-book-writing vampire. Dylan Neal plays Mike the cop who is dead set on defending his position to be more than just friends, and Neal just sucker punches you with his bigger than life, leading man type appeal.

The writers and directors did such an excellent job of keeping the tone well-balanced between the suspense, sexual tension and comic relief that I immediately set my DVR to record all the upcoming episodes.
