Columbia TriStar surprised a lot of Forever Knight fans by releasing the second season of the cult supernatural series on DVD, despite underwhelming sales of the first-season set; what's even more exciting about this six-disc box for longtime followers are its supplemental features, which include commentary by star Geraint Wyn Davies and series co-creator James Parriott. Overall, the second season is marked by change, both in front of and behind the camera: vampire detective Nick Knight's former master and nemesis, LaCroix (Nigel Bennett), takes a more active role in the series, and offers a direct threat to Nick's desire to become mortal again, while Nick's lengthy past is explored more deeply in flashbacks. Gary Farmer's Captain Stonetree is gone, having been replaced by Natsuko Ohama as Captain Cohen-–however, she too would leave the show by season's end, as would Gary Kapelos (Nick's partner, Schanke), and Deborah Duchene (Janette Ducharme). What didn't deviate from the first season was the abundance of exciting and imaginative stories--highlights from season 2 include "Stranger Than Fiction," in which Nick falls for an Ann Rice-like writer; "Father's Day," which partners LaCroix with the Mob; the return of Jack the Ripper in "Bad Blood"; and "Baby Baby," one of two second-season episodes directed (quite well) by Wyn Davies. Extras include Wyn Davies and Parriott providing commentary for two episodes ("Blood Money" and "Killer Instinct"), while Nigel Bennett goes it alone for a pair ("A More Permanent Hell" and "Curiouser and Curiouser"). Parriott and Wyn Davies also appear in a 20-minute featurette (titled, appropriately enough, "About the Show"), and a brief segment in which they answer questions posited by series devotees. In short, season 2 has plenty for FK aficionados to (ahem) sink their teeth into. --Paul Gaita

Season Two delievers
Rating  (5)
Date: 2010-06-10
Before Twilight, Buffy or Moonlight there was Forever Knight.The cult CBS program tells the story of homicide detective and vampire Nick Knight and his struggle to become human. The new season improves on the stories and style of season one by developing the relationship between Nick and Coroner Natalie. Other characters from the first season are still around like Lacroix (Nick's vampire dad)who becomes a recurring character in season two. Nick must face him and the uneasy relationship of a Vampire trying to become humans with Vampires like Lacroix and the beautiful night club owner Jannette who have no intention of changing their ways.
Highlights of the season include where Shanke discovers the truth about Nick and the two episodes directed by Geraint Wyn Davies(Nick Knight) and the episode directed by John Kapelos (Donald Schanke).
Season two will delight and impress viewers that enjoyed the first season but dislike the added sex and violence that over saturate season three.

Good Show; Horrible Quality Of The DVD

1 out of 1 customers found this reveiw helpful
I always liked the show. My complaint is the quality of the dvd transfer. It shows as though it was taken from a vhs transfer. After watching the show for awhile, my eyes grew weary from the poor quality of the picture. For the price of these dvd's and the fan based show, the company owes this series a better quality turn out. Shame on you.

Forever knight - The Trilogy Part 2
Rating (5)
Date: 2008-07-28
Forever Knight - The Trilogy is a T.V. program that I enjoyed watching fifteen years ago. My interest was revived by my two granddaughters, both aged fourteen, when they discovered their facination for vampires. They are both currently watching the Trilogy and can't get enough of it. Shortly after ordering them, they arrived and in great condition. I'm thrilled to have added them to my collection.
