A 2000 live-action television series based on the comic book ''{{Witchblade}}''. The series contains a similar premise - New York Detective Sara Pezzini is bonded to an EmpathicWeapon called the Witchblade, which makes her of interest to {{Chessmaster}} Kenneth Irons, who seeks to control the Witchblade though he cannot wield it, and his [[TheDragon Dragon]], Nottingham. However, the series tells more like a re-imagining of the concept rather than a retelling.

The series is something of a cult classic among viewers, and was only recently released onto DVD. General opinion has that the show was a reasonable translation of the comics and quite good in that regard, in fact the show would have likely continued for several more seasons if there weren't problems with the lead actress.

To the disapointment of some fans, the {{Stripperiffic}} nature of the Witchblade was done away with, replacing it with a more traditional knight's armor.

* JumpingTheShark: [[spoiler: After the ResetButtonEnding of Season One, Season Two just covers the same ground with less suspense. All the character development and discovery went out the window, and Sara laboriously relearned stuff that the audience had found out a year before.]]



* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Ken Irons]] crosses this irrevocably when he burns alive one man's wife and family and drowns another's wife and child just before killing them both for betraying him.



* TearJerker: In the first season, AnyoneCanDie. Many of the deaths qualify. Special mentions go to the deaths of [[spoiler: Conchobar]] and [[spoiler: Joe Cirus]].
