Season 2 of Witchblade reboots the series, confusing and muddling the show. With the timeline reset at the end of last season, NYPD detective Sara Pezzini rediscovers the powers of a mystical weapon known as the Witchblade (which seems to guide her and influence her) and the cult of followers that surround it. The timeline reset causes a number of continuity issues, as all the events and subplots from the first season are ignored and the Witchblade seems to have different powers than before. Some of the guest stars featured include Jeffrey Donovan, Eric Roberts, and Alexis Dziena. The stunt work is pretty good and several of the cases-of-the-week are fairly interesting. Yet while it’s entertaining, overall Season 2 of Witchblade is a mess that doesn’t seem to know what it’s doing...and thus was cancelled.
Looking forward to this final season. FYI, the braille characters on the profile picture of Murphy for this season spell "save me".
Starts off with the best episode and then is very uneven throughout the rest of the season — leaning more on the “meh” than on the good.
It took a few episodes to get into this show, although that also means I did keep watching despite not really enjoying it at first. After finishing this first season, I'm eager to see how it will continue. Alma does grow on you, and surely the casting plays a big role. I especially enjoyed the relationship between her and Sam, that felt incredibly natural.
The rotoscoping works very well in my opinion, even though it looks strange at first. It seems very fitting and obviously allows for a certain creative freedom you don't have with live action characters.
