Excellent DVD, it's a shame it was only one season. Great action sequences. Great work done by Mark Dacascos and the rest of the crew. Enjoyed the bonus features, especially the gag reel.

5/5 Crow: The t.v. Series
  by BlackDragon (Buffalo, NY USA)
I recall watching this when it was on the air, but I had forgotten about it. After picking up this 5 pc DVD set and watching it again, it makes me hunger for more episodes. But alas! like the t.v. series "Dark Angel" we'll never know what would've happened after the cliff-hanger ending.
A fan of the "Crow" movies, I personally liked Mark Dacascos as the "Eric Draven" character. He gives the character a sensitive persona when of course he's not in his CROW form. Striving to be reuited with his dead love & soul-mate "Shelly Webster" he tries to put right what goes wrong. Mark's martial artist skills come out beautifully in this series.
The pilot opens basically re-telling the story as seen in the original "Crow" movie that starred Brandon Lee, but with a few adaptations & changes. One year after Eric and Shelly are brutally murdered, the mystical crow who has the power to bring back a soul, brings Eric back to life. Being neither dead nor alive he wanders the earth with strange powers. At first he goes after the ones responsible for the murders of him and his beloved Shelly, but then he teams up with the police Detective Albrecht in helping to solve other crimes. Yet, he never loses sight of trying to become re-united with Shelly somehow, someway or someday.
If you're a "Crow" (or Mark Dacascos) fan, then I would highly recommend this set. But don't try to compare it to the other "Crow" movies, appreciate it for what it is a series in it's own light. I will treasure this DVD set & probably re-watch it, it was worth every cent that I paid for it.

1/5 Man--I wanted to like this, really...

Man--I wanted to like this, really...

The Original movie "The Crow" is one of my favorite films and while I thought the sequels got progressively worse--I still held out hope for "Stairway to Heaven" (1999-2000) as it is, like the original movie, based on James O' Barr's classic graphic novel. Unfortunately, however, "Stairway to Heaven" is probably the lamest installment in "the Crow" franchise.

Basically, this is a watered-down version of the original story, with terrible acting, horrible scripts, cheesy lovey-dove, vomit-inducing scenes and lame story lines. All around this sucks and has none of the brooding, bitter-sweet spirit of the film. Just look at the cover--that's pretty much a red flag as to how super-lame this series is.

Only advised for teen-Goths who like to hang out at hot topic.

Please, not everyone review this DVD with the word "MYTHOS". Try some originality. My "MYTHOS" itches.
