Witchblade had a really, really good first season. Yancy Butler is a hottie anyway, but I thought the character development was good and the otherworldly plot lines were good to follow. I thought that a couple of their episodes in the first season had as good production values as many of the movies I have seen. Unfortunately, the producers apparently didn't anticipate it gathering the huge fan following that it did and didn't have a second season ready to roll. By the time the second season rolled out (something like 12 full months later) some people had lost interest and the writing had gone lousy. I also heard rumors about Yancy Butler having some problems with alcoholism. If true, so sad.
So, my nomination would be for the first season of Witchblade. I don't even really consider the second season as part of the same show.
