Good show but not enhanced for wide screen TVs - Rating: 4/5
Even though this was filmed in letterbox, the the first season DVD release has black borders around all four edges. What is this, 1996? What a disappointment.
Good show, but really!
Blood Ties: The Complete Season One - Rating: 5/5
I found it delightful. The chemistry between Kyle Schmid and Christina Cox is sizzling and complex. Having read and enjoyed the books that this series was based upon. I found the stories to similar enough to be enoyable yet sustain the variations of plots and sub-plots that are needed to keep a television show running for a long time. Unless, there is a writer strike then all bets are off. This is an excellent show that unfortunately end prematurely due to the writer strike. It is great they fans of the show such as myself have been able to get a it on DVD. It is a witty, sexy, mysterious and dark series that is well acted and written. Enjoy!The Blood Books, Vol. 1 (Blood Price / Blood Trail)
Vampire series sucks, but not in a good way - Rating: 1/5
I took a chance on this set. I love the vampire genre, so I thought I'd give it a go.
It was like a paranormal version of Moonlighting from the 80's, A torturous death march with no payoff.
I was literally fast forwarding hoping some characters would emotionally connect. What was the point of having a vampire in it, when he doesn't go for the jugular...in the romance department?
There was no chemistry between the love triangle at all.
Special effects were super cheesy. Acting was dismal to the point of embarrassment. It had that (no offense) unidentifiable Canadian feel to it that is usually charming. The 1 star goes to Fitzroy,who deserves a medal for getting through this formulaic dreck still looking fabu.
I'll put a stake in this post by stating that one gets a driven desire when a beloved series season ends...the anticipation for the new season is usually unbearable.
I have practically forgot the entire plot to Blood Ties and don't expect to ever see the next season. If it happens. Give me Sookie any day....
Best Vampire show ever!! - Rating: 5/5
I loved this series, too bad they didn't give it a shot. I thought the characters were great together. I think this one is better then "True Blood" This one reminds me more of "Forever Knight".
They should have done more episodes to "Blood Ties" to give the series some sort of better ending instead of leaving it hanging.
Maybe they will make a movie to end it better...I'm being hopeful...^_^
Blood Ties Season Two" has an unsatisfactory finale, but it's still a solid fantasy/horror series that is one of the better vampire shows that made it to TV.
I want more! - Rating: 5/5
Just finished watching this on DVD. I missed it when it was on Lifetime, which I never watch or even check their listings. My daughter and I decided to watch the whole thing again we loved it so much. The characters were so well cast and they are just great. Their chemistry together is amazing. I wasn't familiar with either of the guys, but they are both gorgeous, and I've always liked Christina Cox. She makes a perfect Vickie. I can't wait for Season 2 to come out in October. It's a real shame when a great show like this is canceled so quickly. Maybe if it had been on something other than Lifetime. I wonder if there is any chance someone else will pick it up. So well written and acted. I have no negative comments to make. I just love Kyle Schmid as Henry Fitzroy.
