After ghostbusters, it seems that rebooting a successful franchise with a female lead, doesn't guarantee its success. Yet this is exactly what happened with the 'Queen of swords'. Having grown up with the old Zorro series starring Duncan Regehr, this one seems to be aimed at a slightly older audience, he antagonists aren't true stereotypical cartoon characters as much, sometimes posing a real threat and actually killing people; but nothing overly violent. For what it is, an 80s-like show aiming for some swashbuckling entertainment, it couldn't have been executed better. It's a little more layered and fleshed out than the original Zorro series, but not so deep as to abandon its fun concept. A great job, reaching a well deserved 7/10, the maximum I'll give for the genre.

but different. not only for a female version of one of great heroes of modern literature, but for the art of Tessie Santiago to create a character on her size. justice has its special nuances and the courage to propose new form of old story is not only ambition. because not only fight scenes are remarkable but the grace of a hero - brave, smart, generous - and feminine.the dialogs, the science to not create a Manichean tale, the basic values in right package, the music and the atmosphere who reminds more than a feminist version.that is the heart of this series. its source of charm and identity sign in a long tradition of Zorro movies

How horrible this show was not well received. I've only found it recently on reruns on SiTV and I love it. I've seen two episodes and was hooked after the first. I like other syndicated series like Xena, Relic Hunter, Andromeda but the historical aspects and the stories I've seen so far are more realistic and the story of Zorro is a classic. She is dressed better than a lot of the women in similar series. The one comment Family Friendly is important to me and this one seems excellent. Boy do I wish there was more than one season I would love to have the VHS tapes If anyone knows how to find them email me at bijou2u@hotmail.comI do love Zorro and having a girl as Zorro is great!!! I like shows where the hero has a secret identity and loves someone who doesn't really care for them as normally. It may only be romantic fiction but its a great escape from the normal everyday world.

"Queen of Swords" is nothing but a ripoff of the old Zorro legends, updated with the current "Xena"--ass-kicking girls craze. I have nothing against strong female figures on TV--"Dark Angel," for instance is a great show. But show some originality, please -- the main character is nothing but Don Diego de la Vega with breasts!
