    Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

    An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

    Personally, from the fact that they "borrowed" Eric Draven spells disaster in my eyes. With the pilot being a b grade copy of the movie, it left a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the series. Mark couldn't win me over with his portrayal, especially with his outfit inspired from the movie that I thought looked horrible, specifically the coat. As I have mentioned before in a review elsewhere, the only good things to come out of this that it showcased the moments for Eric and Shelly that possibly could have happened before their deaths and that Katie Stuart and Mark have had quite a few good roles since then:X2(for Katie) and Brotherhood Of The Wolf/Cradle 2 The Grave(for Mark). The only way this concept will ever work again is with a fresh new character, on HBO. One piece of Trivia:The actors who played Skull Cowboy,Top Dollar and Eric Draven were all in "Drive" before this show.

    The show takes the storyline of the first movie but has Eric remain "alive" in the interests of putting other wrongs right and helping those who cannot help themselves. Cheesy at times but Mark Dacascos' superior physical ability and charisma save the show. I suspect it would have been easy to have focused a great deal on the action part of Eric's character but Dacascos does a great job of giving Eric Draven emotional depth. The three regulars (Gomes, Stuart and Dacascos) have good chemistry and play well off each other. Eric's brief scenes with Shelley stay true to the idea of theirs being a great love, giving the show a good balance of action and romance. It's unfortunate that the show was ended so abruptly; a made-for-tv movie or straight to video release that resolved the issues brought up in the cliffhanger finale to the first season would be appreciated by many fans of the shortlived series.

    I went into to the video store to get mi2 and I saw this tape (first epp) for $4 one week hire... I had no idea they even made a series, so this was a pretty big shock for me and worst of all, the first epp pretty much followed the same story line as the first movie. The crow(bird) wasnt even real... when they're on the bridge (I only watched 10mins). I thought It'd different... you've prolly heard it before but I think they should have stoped after Brandon.

    Tired of actors who look off-balance and rigid while doing elementary fight scenes? Mark Dacascos brings a fluidity and balance to both the fight scenes and his normal motions that lend his character credence. I find it hilarious watching TV or movies where the lack of natural balance of the actor makes it difficult to suspend disbelief when he engages in activities that require controlled body motion. When the stunt double is obvious, not through build, or looks, but rather because he or she demonstrates a gracefulness that the actor doesn't possess. The show itself is fine, not something I religiously tune in to, but entertaining enough. What makes it most enjoyable is the fact that Mark Dacascos sells being The Crow through his body language and attitude.
