    With Birds of Prey, Kalogridis has crafted a tidy concept, crossing an idol with a villain to make a new breed --- slightly naughty, definitely conflicted but with some serious kick-ass power.

    The superficial Birds of Prey illustrates the drawbacks to splitting chores three ways. The hair, however, is magnificent.

    But as visually sleek and occasionally funny as Birds of Prey starts out, the show will have to get out from under its tangled premise if it's to divert easily wandering attentions. So far, it's difficult to tell where the series might be headed, but there are hints in the premiere. [9 Oct 2002, p.12C]

    The problem with Birds is that you have seen it all before. The show is competent enough, but everything it has to offer -- from the rain-drenched streets to the wisecracking heroine -- has been done better elsewhere. [9 Oct 2002, p.4D]

    A decent if not extraordinary action hour.

    Unexpectedly great. Well developed characters you get attached to. But alas, everything I like gets canceled after 1 season and mediocrity reins.
