Blood Ties: Season 2

Season 2, three discs, and each one worth watching more than once.The background is simple, ex-cop now Lady investigator still has her male ex-partner inside the department as a "source".She also has a relative of Henry VIII helping out as a quasi-after dark "new associate".It's set in Toronto, a superbly metropolitan city.I enjoy horror movies and scary generes, I prefer them when there's legend, myth or lore mixed in.That's why the 5 stars, the sets were good, the acting well excecuted, the love triangle boiled and the case files intruging.Why then was it cancelled?The episodes build on each other until we discover that ultimately life's choices are our own to make, and any happy ending is our own to devise.Love triangles don't often end well, surprisingly no one dies in this particular one, but as the season ends no one is exactly left getting their hearts desire, except perhaps the office help who really had a hearts desire.The season finished in a way that left it open to continue - not because like so many of the genere it had very obviously run out of storylines and ideas. It still came accross as fresh, lively, vibrant.Perhaps someday someone will resurrect the series, or at least the theme. It should have been a bigger, longer running hit than it apparently was.Buy it, enjoy it, you'll want more in my subjective opinion.

I like the twist in this series. Vampire wants to do good to try an make up for the wrongs in his past. Private detective also wants to do good in spite of her medical condition. Then there is the cop who is willing to look the other way and help his detective friend even though he does not fully agree with her tactics. He is attracted to her and I believe they have history. The only thing I didn't like was that the series is short. Only two seasons and then it over. Too bad the good ones seem to always be short with a few exceptions.

This show reminds me of another cut short show (firefly) that I fully enjoyed cancelled too soon. If you enjoyed buffy the vampire slayer or angel or true blood, then you will enjoy this one with a more adult mind set (though unfortunately lacking in a lot of adult content partly due to this once being on regular tv, like buffy--and made as short seasons or half seasons and only 2 of them, if it had more time maybe more adult sexual them would have come in with some of the 3 main characters). I loved watching this crime drama with a usual supernatural villian getting his/her/its booty kicked by a going blind nonsuperpowered grownup buffy character with the help of a playful at times and serious at times sexy vampire, with the ex also throwing in some police help and giving some comedy of competing against vamp for the affections of the female lead. Still wish the show had went for a much longer time than it did so the characters could of been fully used and gone through more together.

I gave this 5 stars because I've really enjoyed the first season and this second season has great episodes, but you can tell they got cut off at the knees when they were canceled. So I'd like to give the Lifetime network zero stars for canceling this really well done show.The casting for this show was really great. Kyle Schmid is one of our heart throbs now. And I think the woman who played the medical examiner is my all-time favorite medical examiner on TV. Christina Cox was also well chosen. I've read all the books and I think she makes a great Vicki.The show itself was suspenseful and usually had comedic overtones that I enjoyed. This DVD set is well worth the price, even though there are only 9 episodes and no special features. That was a disappointment. But its all worth it to watch Henry, especially when he goes all vampire. They did his vampire teeth (and overall look) right. His canines and second incisors extend and his forehead does not get bumpy and his veins do not pop all out. Henry's vamp look is very sexy.

Love this series!

Love this show! Saw it on Tubi and immediately went in search of it! No digital downloads, but I got both seasons on DVD!😃

I loved this series when it was on TV. Vicki Nelson, P.I. was quite a woman! It is so very rare to see a TV series where the lead is a strong female! And she's strong and in charge even though there are also two very handsome and strong men around.Henry Fitzroy, the vampire is not just sexy or typical of the vampire genre. He's not evil, nor is he tortured by his "evil nature" like so many vampires. He's "always had a pretty good opinion of himself, and hundreds of years of positive reinforcement."Michael Celluci, the human detective, and the third person in the love triangle is strong and handsome and very human.There's a "monster of the week" in every episode, but the show is all about those three and how they deal with each other under difficult circumstances.

Got part 1...had to get part 2. Really enjoy this series. Arrived before estimated time in excellent condition. Thank you.

The tv series is excellent but the quality of one of the discs in this set was not the best. I was able to watch the episodes but it kept freezing or was jerky. The rest of the discs were in good shape.

Für eine Serie mit einem nur recht mittelmäßigem Budget ist 'Blood Ties' wirklich Spitze. Spannend, abwechslungsreich und gute Darsteller. Sie kommt nicht ganz an die Klasse von 'Vampire Diaries' oder 'True Blood' heran, deshalb einen Punkt Abzug. Trotzdem warte ich schon sehnsüchtig auf Staffel 3...

Dommage pour la fin, il aurait fallu une troisième saison.

So happy to be able to rewatch this series.
