Show Summary

EDIT

Based on the novels by Tanya Huff, this show revolves around PI Vicki Nelson - formerly a detective with the Metropolitan Toronto Police. She was losing her sight, but quit the force rather than accept a desk job. However, her last case turns out to be a doozy, involving vampires and the supernatural. She decides to team up with a vampire named Henry and ex-lover Mike Celluci to battle the forces of evil both normal and paranormal.

Blood Ties, Moonlight, etc.

By AngelGonzalez7, Sep 29, 2012

The show was great but much like the show Moonlight. All great things come to an end. I think it was all about timing and with the Vampire genre growing more ans more, now would have been the time to come out with televisions shows such as this.

Another vamp series...

8.5

By LisaShen, Dec 15, 2011

I do love vampire series...but I do think that they could have put a little more depth into the scripts and maybe the show might have ran on longer. But hey Henry was completely hot! :P But this series does bring me back to the days of Charmed, Angel and Buffy times. I do hope that they'd revive this series and still have Kylie schmid as Henry. He played that so well!

How high can you stack clichés?

2.2

By Arlanthe, Mar 13, 2011

A vampire show will all of the clichés, and little innovative content, Blood Ties lacks what it takes to be a long-runner. From the test-tube scientist with the British accent, to the bad Latin, cheesy ritual scenes, and murder-by-map pentagram, Blood Ties breaks little new ground and borrows plot elements and scenes from the successes of other vampire productions over the last ten years, and the clichés of the last hundred.

The show attempts to present a “strong” female lead in Vicki Nelson, but the result is in fact a stupid woman. She investigates murder scenes alone and at night (even before meeting her fanged ally), and despite all evidence that there are murders occurring in a predictable manner, chooses to investigate herself, despite having vision problems and lacking self-defense skills. The shows one interesting character innovation, Vicki Nelson’s serious vision problem, is overshadowed by its inconsistent presentation and Cox’s spotty acting.

Cox is not totally to blame however, as the script itself is as clichéd as the plot, with dialogue that leaves much to be desired. None of the actors seem really at home in their role, and the bad script and chemistry of the show take away from what might be a decent performance. The ill conceived and tried but trite relationships between the shows co-stars make an already eye-rolling script and plot even more unbearable. Both interactions between characters and movement through the story are jerky and slapdash. There is no depth to the story, nothing between the lines to read, and if the first several episodes are any indication what the remainder of the production will be like, I’ll pass and wait for the third installation of Sergei Lukyanenko’s “Night Watch” trilogy to get my vampire fix.moreless

10 steps guide to your Blood Ties episodes.

6.6

By orentini, Feb 12, 2011

"Blood ties" is a new Lifetime "original".

It's about Vicki Nelson, a semi-blind private detective retired cop and her new found partnership with an aristocrat vampire (to whom she gave blood - hence "Blood Ties").

They are joined by a non believer, Vicki's ex-partner detective.

Each episodes unfolds an unoriginal tale (demons, zombies...) which it's ending is pretty much known from the get go:

1. Vicki is approached by a client, asking her to solve a problem (e.g missing person, solve a murder).

2. Said problem is supernatural.

3. Vicki goes to Henry the vampire for help.

4. Henry helps, asks Vicki to wait until evening so he could protect her.

5. Mike (police det.) wants in on the case's facts because it's linked to his.

6. Vicki tells him - he does not believe.

7, Vicki goes on her own, despite (4).

8. Henry swoops in, helps Vicki in the last moment.

9. Henry comes in too late, suspects for supernatural causes.

10. Go to (1)

Not to mention the love triangle going on between the 3...moreless
