- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, anyone who wants a laugh and sci-fi fans. If you loved The Flash or WandaVision, start here.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, tense.
- The pace
- 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 17 hours in all.

- Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
Sara "Pez" Pezzini searches for justice which brings her into contact with the Witchblade. An ancient, intelligent, living weapon so powerful it can battle Earth's darkest evil forces. Week in and week out, Pez employs her skills as a police detective to fight crime. Pez finds she must employ the Witchblade to combat a much greater and frighteningly organized conspiracy of evil that threatens the very soul of humanity.
