I missed the boat on this one and just started watching it on DVD and am about 5 episodes into season one. I find this show delightfully entertaining and yet cringe worthy all at the same time. This is defiantly one of those shows that is so bad it circles right back around to good again. The story lines are very unique and should be ridiculous but aren't... a teddy bear that kills? Come on! Sounds stupid but isn't. They managed to find THE WORST actors to play the bit parts, I mean just terrible! It was awfully nice though of the show runners to give them a chance, I guess. The chemistry between the vampire and the PI just isn't there but it's all acted well. Throw in a few cheesy lines and some random foot massages and you've a terribly awesome show.All in all a fun way to spend a lazy Sunday. I'm going to read the books next and am fairly certain it will make more sense there although, I bet if this show was done now with a bigger budget and better special effects it'd do well... if most people weren't experiencing vampire/buddy cop fatigue that is.

I was surprised to find this show, I hadn't seen any advertising for it at all. I'm a big fan of Tanya Huff the author of the books this series is based on, so naturally I thought I'd give it a chance. The stories are entertaining and the chemistry between Henry(Kyle Schmid) and Vicki (Christina Cox) is amazing, even more amazing is that she also has a great chemistry with Mike (Dylan Neal). I'm not sure who I'm rooting for, but whoever she chooses I'd happily take whoever was left. I can only hope that the powers that be put the time, effort and of course money into keeping this show on the air. So often in the past particularly with a Canadian show they give up. Well lots of groups have been yelling for more Canadian content on Canadian television, so let's give it to them, in the form of Blood Ties.

After watching all of the episodes finding that there were no more was like having the rug pulled out from under me. Why are there no more? Blood ties has got to be one of the best, most interesting series that has been made in a long time - they can't not make anymore!! The characters seam more real than most, the plot lines are actually interesting!! And as for the Vampire, the term more please comes to mind!!! With emphasis! Yes definitely MORE.The worst thing is that Not being able to get a TV signal (the parents wont get a sky box - not fair) I end up having to wait until it comes out on DVD, the wait is way too long and to leave it where it finished is like a caffeine addict with a broken kettle. If anyone has been in that situation you know what i mean - it is not nice.

I love Blood Ties. I go over to Lifetime.com to watch the 22 episodes almost daily. What I like about the show is that it's fun, quirky, sexy, a little campy, dramatic, and did I mention sexy? I have a crush on all three of the main characters/actors--Vicki, Henry, and Mike. I love the racially-diverse cast. I love the witty dialog. I love how given a low production budget, they were still able to make the show more of a fantasy based show with pretty good special effects. Potential-wise, this show's first 22 episodes are very similar to the first 2 seasons of Buffy, and I would love to see in what direction the show evolves.
