Forever Knight: The Complete Series

Reviewed By: Jason Lockard

Some movies and TV shows may not be considered on the list of the greatest ever made, but they are loved by fans. So they become "cult favorites". One such television series entitled "Forever Knight" debuted in the early 90s and was apart of late-night crime-investigation shows this block of shows was titled "Crimetime after Primetime!"

This show lasted for 3 seasons and was released in season format on DVD. But this release has went out of print, and to collect these now is very expensive! Enter the good folks at Mill Creek Entertainment. They have released the entire series on DVD for the first time ever in complete collection format. Let's take a look at this series.

Long before this series would ever take the air. On August 20th 1989 movie entitled Nick Knight starring Rick Springfield. CBS initially declined to option the film for a television series. But three years later in the summer of 1992 Forever Knight the TV series would debut, with an all new cast.

“Forever Knight” follows Nick Knight an 800 year old, 13th-century vampire living in 90's Toronto. Nick works as a police detective, seeking atonement for the lives he has taken over the years. Knight's new crusade is all for hopes to reverse his vampire state, return to humanity, and redeem his soul.

The show ran for 3 season and 70 episodes! And before you think you need to see the Rick Springfield movie to know what is going on, you don't this whole series is a story all of it's own! Here is what is included in this 12 DVD set.

This is a very entertaining series. Fans of vampire films and TV will revel in this series. The stories are filled with real emotional drama. The series had a small budget and was shot in a very gritty and raw way. It really lends a sense of realism to this series.

As for the DVDs release. The episodes are presented in there original full screen format. There is 12 DVDs that comes down to between 5 and 7 episode on a disc depending on the disc. You might think that the quality of the episodes would suffer here. But this was a syndicated show and never looked HD good. So these episodes look perfectly fine to me.

As for the packaging! This entire collection comes housed in a hard cardboard case a definite upgrade from thinner cardboard cases that housed some of the complete series collections. The top of the hard cardboard case has a light cardboard flip top that could be a problem of  the discs falling out if your not careful. But if your like be your very careful with your collection so that shouldn't be a problem.

So if your a fan of Forever Knight but could never track down the entire series. Or if your a fan of Vampire TV shows I highly suggest trying Forever Knight The Complete Series on DVD! Head over to www.MillCreekEnt.com or your local DVD provider today.
