Blood Ties – Season One (Region 2) DVD Review

bloodties_slipcase.jpg

 Blood Ties is a TV show based on a series of modern day books about vampires. The story follows Vicki Nelson (Christina Cox) a former cop who is now a private investigator as she investigates cases of the bizarre and unusual. Think a grown up version of Buffy with the standard monster of the week that comes with it.

While investigating the cases she joins up with former partner cop Mike Celluci (Dylan Neal) and vampire Henry Fitzroy (Kyle Schmid). The show in essence uses the same formula as Angel where a monster is encountered and then the vampire is sent in to fight it. There is more to the story though in even a full season set there is only a single bad episode. The rest are stories about vampires, exorcisms, haunted paintings and the list goes on.

Even though the show does sound rather generic on paper with the vampire sidekick and romance storyline that shows it type of book origins it is a good show. It takes a while to get used to and the DVD has no extras but the show is excellent and takes repeat viewings.

Verdict: +

  1. I was able to purchase the season and it arrived just in time. The channels I normally was watching Bloodties on decided to stop showing them.

    I truly enjoy these DVD’s it’s great, because I love the series. As a side note, I purchased the books that follow Henry, Vicki and Mike to the next level. I can’t seem to get enough of this show.
