Blade the half-human half-vampire hunter on the small screen

Warning: Spoilers
Blade the Series had so much going for it the problem was it was on Spike TV and after one season they throw it under the bus which is a shame too.

Sure the series might not has been as big as the movies themselves however it did have something for Marvel Comic fans and Blade fans too.

It lasted only 12 episodes which is again a shame because given the right network it would have been made into a interesting TV series.

The plot of the series takes place after the events of "Blade Trinity" where Blade (Played by Sticky Fingaz) along with his new partner Shen (Played by Nelson Lee) resume hunting vampires in Detroit. Later on Krista Starr (Played by Jill Wagner) who has just return home from a tour of duty discovers her twin brother has been murdered and begins to investigate.

When she crosses paths with Blade she soon discovers the world of vampires, unfortunately this leads her to Marcus Van Sciver (Played by Neil Jackson) and Chase (Played by Jessica Gower).

Learning her relations to the man Marcus killed he decides to turn Krista into a vampire. Now forced to work for Marcus, Blade and Krista agree to work together let her be his inside person within Marcus' inter cycle.

The plot of the series was pretty promising from the start having a anti hero inside Krista with Blade being the main anti hero of course.

Each episode you see Krista struggle with her human and vampire side as Blade does what he does best.

Marcus as the main antagonist his present in the series was that of the classic villain, cold cruel and evil. What he shows to the public is a rich man wanting to help the city but when the doors are close he is pure evil with Chase being his most trusted.

Overall Blade The Series had a interesting story line going for it it just that the network wouldn't give it a chance which is a shame.

If you're a fan of Blade check it out.
