So I suppose right off the bat I should admit I haven’t actually watched this entire first episode of “Angel of Death.” But let’s be honest; does it really matter? I promise I’m going to; based solely on the cast. One of the biggest surprises from Quentin Tarantino’s 2007 Grindhouse film, Death Proof, was the charming and energetic presence of then unknown, Zoë Bell. Zoë (Kiwi Goddess) worked as a stunt double on many a motion picture over the past decade, including some of Tarantino’s work. Her persona on screen showcased her ability of a fiery female with her veins burning gasoline.

Zoë showed up here and there over the past 18 months, but I’m frankly a little surprised she hasn’t been tapped by Hollywood to play in some more up-scale action films. With that charming New Zealand accent, I could see her doing remarkably well in almost anything a screen writer can dish her way.

Enter “Angel of Death.” Thanks to Dale from Digital Doodles (and our own “After the Credits” podcast), I was made aware of a new web series created by Paul Etheredge (Buried Alive) and starring Ms. Bell as some sort of bad ass assassin. As I mentioned, I haven’t watched the entire episode yet (I plan to remedy that in the next 12 hours), but I’d like to hear from readers on whether or not this show is worth the watch (I believe it is about 8 minutes long). You can get more information directly from the show’s web site; otherwise, I’ve embedded episode one under the seats. Apparently a new episode will be featured every day over at Crackle.com (through 10 episodes?) and is available in full-screen HD.

The show co-stars Lucy Lawless (Xena), Doug Jones (yes, that Doug Jones) and Ted Raimi. Definitely check these out and let us know if it’s worth the watch and also how is Bell? Hopefully she’s just as daring, outlandish and strong as her Death Proof, “Ship’s Mast” role. The world needs more female action stars and I can’t think of anyone more capable of trail-blazing that desire as Zoë Bell.
