This is a good show .i never knew about the TV series. A remake shortened look at the Branden Lee Movie. The three nails and hotel joke was left out maybe to make it more kid friendly The writers had to keep it main stream to keep it on TV . I don't recall all but there is quite a history with this movie With Lee's death [before i think the first movie was finished] at the same age as that of his fathers death [Bruce Lee] Later i think two more movies[CROW II & The CROW STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN]. more accidents in the sequels? deaths? i don't recall it all But the movies were great and you learn the real premise of the CROW

The premise is silly, the writing is melodramatic, the themes are heavy handed, but I like it. if you liked the movies, you might like the show. if you liked highlander(the show), you will probably like this one. it attempts to be dark, brooding, mature it ends up being some depressed teen's angst-ridden power fantasy given form. I think that maybe why I like it, the show makes me laugh. Mark Dacascos is hands down awesome, very underrated actor in my book, he plays the role of Eric Draven to the hilt. the action in the show is well above what one would expect of a TV show, smooth and dynamic movement by people who know how to fight in front of a camera. I recommend the show on the basis of the fight scenes alone.
