February 24, 2009 TV on DVD Releases: Drama
Here is this week’s edition for TV on DVD Releases in the drama category.
Breaking Bad The Complete First Season - I had never heard of this series before reading about it being released on DVD, but it sounds pretty interesting. It is about a man that finds out he has cancer and his family, which includes a teenager with cerebral palsy. The man turns to a life of crime to support his family before dying.
Canterbury’s Law: The Complete Series - This is a two disc set that contains the whole series. It was a mid season legal drama show in 2008 that was canceled soon after it finished.
Enemy at the Door Set 1 - This is a British series about the Nazi German invasion of the British Channel Islands in 1940.
The Lair : Season 2 - This is a vampire show of some sort, I think.
The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice - This is the DVD release of the TNT made for television movie. It sounds like the movie is kind of Indiana Jones- like with the coveted item being Judas’ Chalice.
Oliver Twist - This is a BBC version of the classic Dickens story. From the Amazon reviews it appears this is not a very good interpretation of the book. I believe it is the 2007 version and the 2005 version was supposedly off, but not as off as this version. It seems the 1985 version is the most recommended.
Painted Lady - This was originally shown as a Masterpiece Theater movie. The special features include a biography of Helen Mirren.
