Tessie Santiago star's as the aforementioned 'Queen Of Swords', the world's greatest warrior. Charged with protecting the innocent and revealing the corrupt the sexy business woman goes about her days as a kind of western Bruce Wayne.

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.

Great show with adventure and swashbuckling stories in the style of Zorro."Queen of Swords" is a show for all ages and I think it captures the old swashbuckler style of the great old adventure movies and TV series such as Walt Disney's "Zorro".

This series was wonderfully scripted and my favourite lines come from the episode Kidnapped when Vera is saved by The Queen of Swords and returns to town on Grishams horse and Colonel Montoys says to Grisham "There is your girl, there is your horse, keep off one and get on the other and get me my gold" This episode summed up the series even though Dr Helm was not in it but mentioned in one scene. Other notable episodes are The Serpent with David Carradine, The Uncle and all the episodes that featured Peter Wingfield.

Tess Santiago plays the Masked heroine of the title.

After searching this title for several years, I finally obtained a French-language copy in 2013 with an optional original soundtrack, Which has the little drawback that everything on-screen (title & credits) are in French, but that is just a minor, minor complaint in comparison to not having it at all and wishfully dreaming If Only... Being RavenGlamDVDCollector, I am backlogged with my viewing and seasonal in my habits, and labeled this as ideal winter viewing and only started tonight, just more than fourteen years later after having seen this show on (dismal) local TV.

Congratulations you have found this show, and let me tell you it is a dang good show. Despite the premise being basically Zorro except only a girl this time, the Queen of swords is still very original in her own special ways.

First off, I just want to make it known that I adored this show! I don't even remember my first time watching it.

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'.
