A 2000 live-action television series based on the comic book Witchblade. The series contains a similar premise - New York Detective Sara Pezzini is bonded to an Empathic Weapon called the Witchblade, which makes her of interest to Chessmaster Kenneth Irons, who seeks to control the Witchblade though he cannot wield it, and his Dragon, Nottingham. However, the series tells more like a re-imagining of the concept rather than a retelling.
