Blood Ties is a Canadian production that was filmed as a 22-episode season. In the US, Lifetime TV decided to split was was actually one season into two, with the first eleven episodes (”Blood Stamp” to “Post Partum”) as Season One and the remaining eleven (”Norman” to “Deep Dim”) as Season Two. Blood Ties fans have waited desperately for any news after Lifetime dropped the prove like a hot potato despite intensive fan campaigns including blood drives and donations to charities. Their decision to split the demonstrate into two is heart-broken from a DVD standpoint; The British Blood Ties box situation features all 22 episodes, but the US release features what is essentially half the (only) season. However, there are some righteous episodes here, such as the two-part Heart of Ice / Heart of Fire and the two-part pilot Blood Trace. However, where the British status was devoid of extras, the US version will feature behind-the-scenes materials (and there was rumor of a gag/blooper reel mentioned in an interview) . The release for Season Two is tentatively scheduled for September 2009; with the popularity of Moonlight - The Complete Series, Right Blood: The Complete First Season (HBO Series), and Twilight (Two-Disc Special Edition), sales should be high.

Blood Ties revolves around Victoria “Vicki” Nelson, an ex-cop with Toronto’s Metro police. Vicki was forced to resign due to a degenerative peruse disease, retinitis pigmentosa, and is trying to build a living as a private investigator. Her fiery romance with fellow cop Mike Celluci is an on-again, off-again affair, and her first case as a PI gives her more than she bargained for: someone is summoning demonic forces, and Henry Fitzroy, her unique partner on the case, impartial happens to be a 480-year-old vampire and is the illegitimate son of Henry VIII.
The series pilot Blood Brand is faithfully based on Tanya Huff’s Blood Stamp (BLOOD SERIES) . The remainder of the season finds Vicki exploring demons, incubi, reanimated corpses, shapeshifters, mummies, voodoo, ghosts…while caught in a crackling fancy triangle between archaic flame Mike and sensual, deadly Henry. Vicki’s recent assistant is the perky Goth Coreen, who also has her inspect on Henry.

Blood Ties consistently satisfies my cravings for an intelligently handled supernatural cop drama. Its premise sounds promising in print, but without Blood Ties’ cleverly crafted memoir arcs and meaningful character interaction, it would amount to miniature more than a tired monster-movie-of-the-week retread. This is a reveal that wisely knows not to steal itself too seriously, leading to quickly and mad one-liners, visual gags and impeccable comedic timing. The entire Canadian cast and crew does a consistently extraordinary job of bringing Blood Ties to life, and it’s tremendous to discover a Canadian production receive airtime in the States.
The show’s setting is Toronto but is filmed in Vancouver (with exterior shots of identifying Toronto landmarks), but it’s serene Canadian through-and-through, a rarity in days where tired Toronto is expected to double as Everyamericancity. This may be the first present since Forever Knight - The Trilogy, Portion 1 (1992 - 1993) and Due South: The Ultimate Collection - Three Complete Seasons that revels in its Canadianness.
Although Blood Ties is currently off-air, its fan bad continues to spread through word of mouth, Astronomical Fish’s Blood Ties hidden object game featuring characters, locations, and audio from the exhibit, and Internet groups, thereby bringing unique viewers into the fold. It has been at least a decade since I felt so strongly about a TV show; I was so moved by Blood Ties’ strong female role model and spellbinding blend of romance, police procedural, and the supernatural that I downloaded several episodes via iTunes and recruited several friends to the note.
Blood Ties remains my popular post-Forever Knight - The Trilogy, Fragment 1 (1992 - 1993) for its bewitching blend of humor, passion, action, right dilemmas, and the mortal (and immortal) ties that bind. Tanya Huff’s source material has been toned down enough to allow families to indulge in Blood Ties together. Blood Ties protagonist Vicki Nelson (Christina Cox) is a strong certain role model for women through her physicality, self-reliance despite disability, and intelligence.
It’s instantly clear (except to American/Canadian networks who were reluctant to remove up the point to for a second season, grrr…) why Blood Ties was nominated for numerous awards such as Constellation and Leo Awards. The entire cast, headed by Christina Cox (Vicki), Kyle Schmid (Henry), Dylan Neal (Mike), and Gina Holden (Coreen), has an outstanding chemistry that shines on-screen, and I can’t wait to finally bear Blood Ties on DVD!
Vampires are very hot lawful now — the bestselling “Twilight” series, the hit TV expose “Factual Blood,” and the tragically cancelled “Moonlight.”
And one of the better vampire stories to emerge from the crypt is “Blood Ties,” a too-brief prove based on Tanya Huff’s urban fantasy series. The first season has a slightly boring begin, but it’s a solid action/fantasy series with plenty of sensual romance, gritty crime, and supernatural spookery.
On her diagram serve from a date, PI Vicki Nelson (Christina Cox) sees a caped figure attack and end a young man — leaving the body drained of blood. The victim’s girlfriend hires Vicki to earn the culprit. But as Vicki starts prodding around goth clubs and alleyways, she encounters the mysterious Henry Fitzroy (Kyle Schmid) who is doing his absorb destroy investigation.
Turns out Henry is also a sexy 500-year-old vampire, and the bastard son of Henry VII. Together they have to get a creepy demon-summoner, before something far worse is unleashed. And soon she has to deal with a lot of other supernatural problems, with the abet of Henry and her customary partner Mike (Dylan Neal), who detest one another.
Among the problems: voodoo priest and his zombies, a murderous “imaginary friend,” a heart-crushing Celtic ghost, a suburban incubi, a man-eating Wendigo, Egyptian gods, a Medusa, a fertility clinic that produces creepy results, the return of creepy demon-summoning dude, and an immortal priest with an unending vendetta against Henry.
“Blood Ties Season One” fits into the same niche as “Moonlight” and “The Dresden Files” — a detective series with vampires and spooky things, and a human mired in the supernatural. But it’s not entirely the same — “Blood Ties” has a distinctly dim, grimy feel, with lots of pale light, dusky urban streets and a novel vampire (”I don’t have mojo. I have charm!”) .
It also has a nice dismal mystery in each episode, with monsters ranging from distinguished (zombies!) to obscure (svartalfar!), tightly hurt action scenes and some very sensual bloodsucking. And the writers plod up some pleasing dialogue for Vicki and Henry, usually to each other (”It’s fair a conversation, it’s nothing to danger about.” “That’s what my father said to Anne Boleyn”) .
And Cox is splendid as Vicki — tough, strong and beneficial of handling her possess life, but with the vulnerability of a degenerative peruse disease. And she’s backed by Neal as a skeptical, straight-and-narrow cop who obviously has a thing for Vicki, and Gina Holden as a perky Goth who appoints herself Vicki’s original secretary/gofer/research assistant.
And Schmid is the perfect good-guy vampire — he’s devastatingly hot, and he mingles roguish charm, sensuality, ferocity and down-to-earth quirkiness (”If this book isn’t at the printer’s by the ruin of the month, my editor’s gonna demolish me… again!”) . His most knowing work is the prolonged torture of “Heart of Fire,” especially during Henry’s heartrending struggle against his bloodthirst.
“Blood Ties Season One” starts off a limited tedious, but the solid writing and great acting create this one of the better vampire shows to hit TV screens.
