The makers of this series don't seem to relise that the story of Eric Draven has been put on film and finished. They claim the Series is based on the Comic strip by James O'Barr but it appears that the have watched the film and neglected to eaven go out and buy the comic as it is full of old cleshays from the Brandon Lee film. This first episode is basicly the same story line as the first film except with bad actors who don't suite there rolls and don't fite the film or the comic. If you are a fan of the crow like I am go and buy it, it's got a new twist to the story of Eric and Shelly but it is still undoubtebly a cheep ripe of. Marc is terrible as Eric and if you see this before the film you will want to know what all the fuss is about. I suggest you get the film first then the sequell and then the comic and if you have any money left over then get this. All in all I guess it just isn't origanal enough, it would have been better with a whoule new story.
