Blade TV series 10pm Monday on Bravo
Watched this earlier in the week, and it looks good, the best I can figure is that its set during the break between Blade 1 and Blade 2 as it starts in Russia (where 1 ends) and then he ends up back in the USA (Detroit).
New Blade - Played by Kirk 'Sticky' Jones (rapper Stick Fingas) - has the same look and gravelly voice but unfortunately with the 'Snipes' armour he looks really short, they have strapped silver stakes accross his chest and the length of these coupled with the long coat make him look about 5 foot tall.
Sidekicks - 2 this time, 1 is a techno-geek there to build his weapons and create his medication (no whistler sorry), the other is the more righteous based character, although this time they have decided not to bother going for a police officer/detective or nurse/doctor, in this incarnation we are presented with ex-army soldier Krista Starr (yes a hot female character what a surprise).
Blood - as its a vamp film yes there is loads of blood, the opening scene sees Blade slice a vamps throught and the blood-spray is totally over the top.
TV Story - Blade is hunting a rich and very powerful Vampire who is shipping corpses into Detroit, Corpses of Vampires that it, to test new serums on in the hope of curing all of the Vampires weaknesses. Also there is a side story about vampire based drugs on the street, Vampire Ash which is taken by a human gives them all the powers of a vampire including the hunger for blood but only for a limited period of time.
SCOOP - There will be no second series though as it flopped in the US
