Return of “V” – ABC trailer

nath — Tue, 26 May 2009 13:03:11 +0000

80’s hit show “V” is getting a remake, following the success of Battlestar Galactica. I, for one, can’t wait and will be eagerly anticipating its return to TV from behind my sofa, cowering like the child I am.

The cast sees the welcome return of Joel Gretsch (Tom Baldwin, “4400″) to TV, as well as a guest appearence of Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet Burke, “Lost”) who I’ve had a soft spot ever since she graced us with her presence on ABC’s hit series.

Dexter – Season 2

nath — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 13:28:50 +0000

My most recently favoured series, Dexter (based on the novel “Darkly Dreaming Dexter” – also worth a read), is back for its second season in the UK. I’d highly recommend a look if, like me, you’re a fan of dark humour, intelligent plotlines and a cast worth their weight in gold.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the series, Dexter, named after the program’s protagonist Dexter Morgan, is based around the life of a blood spatter pattern analyst who, in his spare time, doubles up as a serial killer. Of course, there’s always a twist – in this case, Dexter is a “conciencious” serial killer – only killing people who he classifies as evil – and proceeds throughout the series to silently remove murderer, after rapist, after psychopath from the streets of Miami.

As always, I won’t give too much away – other than to say that the series dives straight in and continues the pace of the first series perfectly. Be warned – the series isn’t for the faint of heart, especially those who find the sight of blood disturbing, and the humour can be incredibly dry – if you’re easily bored, you may find the effort a little much at some points.

Dexter starts on FX on the 6th July – if like me you can’t wait that long, I’m reliably informed that there are torrents of the season available across the internet.

enjoy.
