New York Police Department detective Sara Pezzini (series star YANCY BUTLER) brandishes the Witchblade, an intelligent, symbiotic weapon of incredible power that has existed since prehistoric times. She has turned back time and resurrected her murdered partners, Danny Woo (series star WILL YUN LEE) and rookie Jake McCartey (series star DAVID CHOKACHI). But her nemesis, Ian Nottingham (series star ERIC ETEBARI), continues to pursue the source of Sara's strength. Sara relies on young historian Gabriel Bowman (series star JOHN HENSLEY) for help in understanding the Witchblade.

Sara and Danny Woo are once again in pursuit of the elusive mobster Tommy Gallo (recurring guest star CONRAD DUNN). As before, Gallo's henchman lures Sara into the museum where she first encounters the Witchblade, and it claims her as its chosen wielder. This time, however, things are different.

Stalked by Irons' henchman, Nottingham, Sara suspects that Irons is responsible for the murder and confronts him. Later, Irons uses the weapon--known as the Longinus Lance--to cruelly murder associates he believes have double-crossed him.

Meanwhile, Sara visits Gabriel, who deals in exotic artifacts and objects of power and operates a Web site called Talismaniac.com, in order to research the strange murder weapon.

I loved Witchblade when it first ran with the TV movie in 2000, then seasons 1 and 2 in 2001 and 2002 respectively. The action, visual effects and characters all made this show worth watching each and every week. I always had the feleing of wanting more and was sad to see its cancellation after season 2. Definitely worth the money, as are the DVDs of the series which I also own.

The first episodes in season 1 focus to much on visual effects and not enough on actual action. I still think it was/is worth the money and I have higher hopes for season 2 which is why I gave four stars
