Fresh and Exciting

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I just had the chance to watch the complete series over the last few weeks and I really enjoyed the show. It's not as graphic (by miles) as True Blood or other shows, but it does have a nice little triangle, with the female lead and two male characters, who can't escape her. Since Christina Cox is playing that female character that is more than believable of course.The actors are good, the dialog is fast and funny, the overall mood is definitely light. That's either a good or a bad thing, depending on your own views and tastes (no pun intended). Unfortunately for the show and although there are quite a few books/novels out there, the show got canceled. It did get good reviews when it ran, but the numbers (viewings) didn't match them. But that doesn't mean you won't enjoy this

When I first started watching this show I wasn't sure how it would go but then as I watched show after show it really pulled me in. All the characters were very different. Not your normal set of characters.Everyone gave a special something to the show. Also the love triangle always played so strong. You were always left wondering who would turn to whom.The stories behind the episodes were pretty unique I thought. I even enjoyed the music that was interlaced into the shows. The end song was very catchy. It was just music but it just worked. Very sad to see that no one picked up the show and kept it running.

I can't think of a single theme in this show that hasn't already been drained dry by Buffy, Angel, Witchblade, Forever Knight, Moonlight, or True Blood. Do we really need another show with goody-two shoes vampires, spunky PIs, and cops on the edge? Really? I didn't think so, and after watching Blood Ties, I still don't. It's beyond my comprehension why previous reviewers have bothered to provide a synopsis of this show, since it's just an amalgam of the aforementioned series.If you're really Jonesing for a hit of moody vampire action and can't be bothered breaking out the box set of any of the other shows in this genre, then Blood Ties is better than nothing, but it's not something that people will still be reminiscing about in a decade.

Simply put Blood Ties is the best show ever of it's genre ever produced...great writing,superior acting,hot chemistry,this one has it all.If you love vampires,the supernatural,romance,comedic situations,originality and quality content you can not help but be pulled in.Vicki,Henry,Mike a love triangle for the here and now.If you are looking for cheese then you will be out of luck with this one for there is none to be found here.This is a show worthy of many entertaining seasons and a prime example of what can result when all the main elements of a show are addressed in their entirety.Lifetime hit one out of the proverbial park when they chose to air BLood Ties and they need to come to that reality.
