This is an amazing show-- creative, intelligent, complex, and stirring, with an incredibly talented cast. It was a true shame that it was canceled and I only hope that some smart network will realize its worth and huge fan base and pick it up.

Not having read the comics, I watched this TV movie without expectations. I wasn't disappointed. "Witchblade" is original and very atmospheric. The action takes place in an urban sprawl said to be New York, but a New York shrouded in an occult gloom. The director Ralph Hemecker, and Z D Zeik who has the writing credit for the movie, have blended a police action theme with the supernatural. What they've created involves and fascinates. I think "Witchblade" gains a lot from a superior cast. Based on the end result, the obviously hot casting team of Gerussi, Mariano and Miller deserved a bonus when it was in the can. For a start, Yancy Butler is a captivating and lethal Sara Pezzini. I certainly didn't see Sara Pezzini on the horizon when, years ago, I watched a waif of an actress doing her best with Natasha Binder in "Hard Target" (1993). The clue is in the eyes. Man, those eyes!Anthony Cistaro is brilliant as the morally ambivalent, super rich tycoon, Kenneth Irons. A man so unsatisfied by his power and riches in this world that he wants influence and opportunity in the dimension of the Witchblade.Ian Nottingham is a great character. His lurking about and obscure relationship with Kenneth Irons had me guessing at times. I don't recall seeing any previous appearances by Eric Etebari, but I'd be happy to see more of his work. The same can be said of Will Yun Lee, David Chokachi, Kenneth Welsh and George Jenesky; not a born spear carrier among them.This is TV film making strong enough to stand on its own. A thoroughly professional effort. I hope Marc Silvestri was equally pleased with the filming of his work. "Witchblade" entertains. Recommended.

When i first saw the movie, i was hooked. it shocked me also because i was writing (and still) a story about a situation similar to the plot of this movie and series but that's another story. but anyway, i thought the first season was okay. the show had some high points and more low points. in other words, it could have been better. but now that the second season has started...wow. lack of a better word: wow. twenty thousand times better than last season. it just keeps getting better. keep up the good work! can't wait to see how this season will end!

This is one of those low-budget miracles, and a great argument against charging tariffs for shooting in Canada. I'm sure purists are rather disappointed at how it strays from the comic book, but from what little I've been able to see of the comic book, I think that Top Cow has let Sarah Pezzini's character stray into Tomb Raider crapdom anyway. What TNT presented was a show with a badly meleagered budget, and had to pit good acting and great scripts against bad special effects. The good acting and the great scripts have more than made up for the annoying strobe lights. I'm looking forward to a second season, and sincerely hoping that the network sees fit to bring this show into long term, full season production. Just KEEP your current writers, and give them lots and lots of raises, they are really making the show.
