Krista Starr returns from Iraq to learn that her twin brother, Zack, has died under mysterious circumstances. Krista soon meets Blade, as well as the killer himself, Marcus Van Sciver, a powerful vampire who becomes smitten with her, turning her into a vampire by injecting her with his blood. Blade then injects her with the same serum he uses to control his own vampire instincts. Blade offers Krista a chance to help avenge her brother's death and bring down Marcus. The series is based on the comic-book character Blade and the series of movies featuring him.

Terrible acting, horrendous special effects, a misdirected reliance on corny techno music, and a thorough sprinkling of campy melodrama resulted in this mess. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

David S @David429 Jun 13 This is a really good show too bad it did not last but only one season. The way they left it off was kind of crappy I’m not a big fan of cliff hangers. They could of at least did one more season and warped it up, but all in all it was very good. Sticky Fingaz did a good job as Blade I thought that Krista Starr played by Jill Wagner was a cool character Jill did a good job with her. Shen played by Nelson Lee was another awesome character and Marcus Played by Neil Jackson and Chase played by Jessica Gower were awesome main villains. They did a really good job at their characters. The special effects were really good, the action was good and the story was good for each episode. I wish it did not get canceled as soon as it did. Here are the best episodes of this show. 1. Pilot Part 1 2. Pilot Part 2 3. Death Goes On 4. Descent 5. Bloodlines 6. The Evil Within 7. Delivery 8. Sacrifice 9. Turn Of The Screw 10. Angels And Demons 11. Hunters 12. Monsters 13. Conclave See more andrius y 03/27/2023 una supuesta continuación de blade pero con un recast donde el actor no concuerda mucho con el personaje ademas del poco presupuesto que se nota en la producción aun asi llega a ser entretenida , dramática y gore.
