I was not expecting a theatrical quality TV show picked up by what we in Canada call Spike.... The show made me roll my eyes for the first half as hour.. It was feeble.. but as the show went on it took off in a very cool plot development..taking a darker tone than the 2nd and 3rd installments, literally acing the Vampire formula like none other. I'm not calling it a 'cinematic tour de force' hell no... I'm just observing that this is as good as any other show out there... sexy materially... true to the comic.
P.s. the Dude who plays Blade will bring his own to the part he didn't make you not like him... but that takes time like 3 episodes... he's just getting a feel for Blades power.... something that Mr. Snipes could have done better with.
I hope this show sticka around... I will only get better.
