Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With middling reviews (50% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a small audience, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, sci-fi fans and action fans. If you loved Watchmen or Marvel's Daredevil, start here.
The mood: Tense.
The pace: 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 9 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

Blade is a half-man, half-vampire who employs his extraordinary powers in a crusade to save mankind from the demonic creatures who walk the night. Set in Detroit, Blade investigates the vampire house of Chthon. Along the way he forms an uneasy alliance with Krista Starr, a former military veteran who becomes entrenched in the world of vampires while investigating the murder of her twin brother.
