    4 out of 5 stars Happy Darkness   June 8, 2009

    The principle actors and several of the guests all did great jobs. Using the term meta-human for a genetic super power, a la X-men, we enjoy a few movies worth of time with the backstory of the mains and some innovative plots wrapped around some more exotic talents.


    4 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed seeing this   June 6, 2009
    Robert Moore (Chicago, IL USA)
    I never saw this when it first appeared on the WB a few years ago discovered it for the first time only recently on DVD. This is certainly not a perfect show. It is marred by an intentional attempt to cater for a very young, typical WB audience. The women are all a tad too hip, a tad too well-dressed, their make up just a bit too perfect. There is nothing like what we would later see with Starbuck on BSG, a really tough female hero whose make up wasn't perfect, was attractive but didn't look like a model, and was just a bit over-the-edge. The emotions of the women here on BIRDS OF PREY are not always terribly adult but adolescent. They seem to be intending the show for a younger crowd than a comparable and nearly contemporary show like DARK ANGEL.

    Despite this youth orientation, the show still had some nice moments. It was a great role for Ashley Scott, who was free after a recurring role the previous year on DARK ANGEL. She later appear on the hideously overrated cult series JERICHO. I would love to see her get a defining role on a good series. She is beautiful, charismatic, athletic, and has enough presence to carry a series, and she very nearly was able to carry this one. The rest of the cast isn't quite up to her level. Dina Meyer doesn't bring quite enough gravitas to her role as Barbara Gordon aka Oracle, the former Batgirl, now paralyzed and relegated to a wheelchair. The team of the title is rounded out by Rachel Skarsten, who plays Dinah Lance. In the DC Universe this is a tad complicated, because that is the name usually given to Black Canary (maybe my least favorite DC hero, simply because her sonic scream is inevitably absurd when translated to film). But on this show Black Canary is supposed to be her mother. Of course, one of the things about Dinah is that her powers are still supposed to be developing. She has some mind reading abilities (upon contact) and powers of telekinesis, but perhaps she would have gained the Black Canary's cry. Also, she had not yet taken on a crime fighting name by the end of the series. Perhaps she would have morphed into a new Black Canary. It would have made the series title make a bit more sense.

    But here is the thing: most shows get better as they go along. BIRDS OF PREY has all the feel of a show that had not yet found its groove. It had no long story arcs under development apart from romances for the two older women. Although Mia Sara is listed each week as the intended villain, she is never really takes off until the finale (which was written after they learned that the series had been cancelled). She, by the way, plays Dr. Harleen Quinzel aka Harley Quinn, who is usually, of course, allied with the Joker. No doubt her role would have grown in the series.

    The world that this takes in is rather vague. Or perhaps I haven't read the right books in the DC Universe. Here we see a post-Batman universe. Even though many many familiar super villains are locked up in Arkham Asylum, no one seems to remember Batman or Catwoman. How can they remember Clayface but not Batman? Makes no sense.

    All in all, I wish that this had lasted longer. I think it would have developed some interesting story lines.

    BTW, on a small side note, according to IMDB.com Bruce Thomas played Batman in the small snippets in which he is seen. Fans of KYLE XY will know him as Stephen Trager, the father in the family that takes in and adopts Kyle.

    I really did enjoy this show; was certain - like many I've liked - that it wouldn't last; from a commercial standpoint. I've enjoyed watching these again immensely !


    ( But then I loved "Wonderfalls" and it bit the dust in under 4 shows; buy that complete series too ! There's one episode that involves going over the falls in a barrel and a rivalry between two older women that is Hilarious !!!)



    5 out of 5 stars AWESOME!   April 30, 2009

    This is an interesting take off of the Batman and the Catwoman. I really don't care for the whole "meta"human crap. Otherwise a fun tale.
