Got this email from a friend this morning:
Fans of Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” and “Grindhouse,” martial arts movie junkies, and anyone who fell in love with Nicola Griffith’s character “Kick” should make a point of checking out “Angel of Death.”
Ed Brubaker, comic writer and avid historian of pulp fiction created an online series starring Zoe Bell (Xena, Warrior princess stunt double and pulp movie star.)
Come and get your ass-whoopin’!
So I went to watch the first ep (there’s a 15-second commercial to get through, but, hey, it’s only 15 seconds):

You can watch the other eps here.
Thoughts?
Nicola Griffith 
Brubaker gets some quality work done now & again– I recommend his “Sleeper” & especially his work with Matt Fraction on “Iron Fist”
I don’t know but it seems like a fellow could get hooked.
I’d have thoughts if I could watch it, but apparently it’s one of those US-only things.
I watched Angel of Death when it first came out and was completely blown away by the first episode’s ending. The rest of the series held up well, good story, great action, adequate acting. It’s all good because it’s free and stuff.
I would comment, but I couldn’t get the damn thing to show me anything but adds, with short precis if episodes which would not play in between. I am a techno-idiot, so presume I was doing something wrong. The photo of Bell was nice, even with a large white arrow on her face.
Well, they certainly know how to build up a cliff-hanger, don’t they?
It seems a sufficient time-waster and the acting is really good for a bitty thing like this.
I’d say it’s more like Aud than Kick — unless I haven’t gotten far enough into the video to see the similarities…
