From the very beginning it was weird to see Sticky Fingaz instead of Wesley Snipes, but once you get used to it, "Blade" becomes quite entertaining show. It's sequel to the movie franchise and has pretty good plot that pulls you in and it's a shame it was canceled after single season. There's no bigger flaws to brag about, but it also doesn't have any outstanding qualities. Just an average Marvel that will bring joy to Blade fans and mediocre for the rest of us.6/10

The show was actually good, especially the female star of the show. But the Blade character himself was absolutely terrible. He had no acting ability at all. All he did was look serious and had a fake serious voice. Terrible actor.Show would have been perfect had it not been for the Blade actor. All other actors were also good at their job.Also, it really irritates me that TV shows keep always being canceled, even good ones, and even though they do reasonably well. Just because they don't "win" some stupid ratings war, they think the show isn't good enough to keep. Further, they do stupid things like showing two good shows in the same time slot, and then they wonder why a show that might be good, doesn't get the ratings they want, if another show is slightly better. Then what's new of course, they both get canceled.... Fools. :(

When this show was on Spike, I, like many Blade fans, did not care for it much at first. I followed it and slowly grew to enjoy it and I was very disappointed when it was canceled. However, I recently watched the series on DVD and, knowing how things were going to work out, it was like watching a whole different series. Wow, it was great! This show kept almost all of the movie Blade canon and added a few twists (such as dealers selling vampire ash like a drug). The ash dealers were a large part of the first few episodes but quickly that faded to almost non-existent so I wish they had never started that line of stories since it gave the series a bit of misdirection at the start. In truth, this series had an excellent overall arc and one episode really led to the next in developing both the characters and the stories. As stand-alone watch once a week episodes without an overall knowledge of the overall arc, it was more difficult to watch. In a sad way, the show was a victim of its own excellent writing and characters."Sticky" Jones was excellent as Blade. He was different from Wesley Snipes (who was different from the comics) but Jones's Blade was more in line with the comics and very well played. Jill Wagner is ultra-sexy and played Krista about perfect. I am amazed that she is now reduced to sideline commentary on a show like Wipeout since I believe she should really be a bigger star by now. The other players (like the characters Shen, Marcus and Chase) are much better when watched on DVD since they make a lot more sense. For example, originally I found Chase to be whiny and Marcus to be too much of a wimp to be the big vampire leader he was supposed to be. In later episodes, you learn more about Marcus (and see him kick some butt) and you see he is not a dopey wimp just trusting any ol' new vampire like Krista. He is seen in a new light and I liked his character much better.Overall, the series reminded me of a show you would more likely see on HBO, Showtime or the like where they really develop the characters and the audience expects to have to get to know the characters first. Imagine if the Sorpanos or Oz tried to be a broadcast network show. No one would have gotten to know the characters because the first couple of episodes do not exactly hook you. I really wish this series would be restarted on one of those other networks (or that Spike would give it another chance) because I could see some really great things coming from it.

I thought it was well written, tasteful, and no, I don't work for the studio. Ha. Ha. They took a good series of movies and made them into an interesting TV series. There are plot twists. We see information about the characters. Characters are developed in that one would start as one type of person and through personal experience or those of others become something else as in the case of Chase or Krista. I liked the part where we, the viewers, saw how Marcus got to where he was though we didn't actually see how he built his real estate empire we did see how he interacted with his superiors who treated him like a dog. And, then 100 years later he had developed a biological agent and killed them. I saw some scenes from a second season showed on TV a few months ago. I haven't seen too much on the web about the series. Keep up the good work.
