This set contains every episode from season five of The Walking Dead, the long-running AMC series starring Andrew Lincoln as Rick, a small-town Georgia cop who helps lead a band of survivors on a seemingly never-ending trek to find a safe haven after a zombie epidemic has swept across the country.
In the second season of this anthology series about unusual police investigations, Vince Vaughn and Colin Farrell star as detectives trying to solve a bizarre murder case in the corrupt city of Vinci, California.
The fourth season of The Walking Dead finds Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) desperate to rediscover his own humanity and preserve what he can of his son Carl's (Chandler Riggs) childhood through reinventing himself as a farmer while a counsel including Carol (Melissa McBride) and Daryl (Norman Reedus) in addition to several Woodbury ex-pats take on leadership roles. His newfound sense of peace is quickly derailed, however, when a mysterious illness begins to decimate the community. Elsewhere, the disgraced Governor (David Morrissey) roams the apocalyptic streets on his own until happening upon a family of survivors who reignite both his will to survive and take revenge against Rick, who he blames for the loss of Woodbury. Following a massacre at the prison, the group is splintered into several factions, none of whom can be sure about the fates of the others, and forced to find shelter among a population of survivors that can pose as much and often more of a threat than the walkers themselves.
Seems Rick and the gang can't get a break, even in prison (*pun intended). The series continues to show case the bleak, disturbing truth that there is no safe place in a world consumed by the undead.
The third season of The Walking Dead finds former police officer Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his ragtag group of Zombie-apocalypse survivors hopeful that a prison will offer true protection from the masses of undead. Though the fortified walls do, indeed, provide them with a certain level of security, the group faces a very real threat from the living. Though Andrea (Laurie Holden) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) find temporary shelter within a seemingly Utopian community led by a man who refers to himself as "the Governor", time reveals he is a control-obsessed sadist hiding many secrets of his own.
No place is safe in the Zompocalypse. Iron bars and huge walls are nothing compared to the terrifying onslaught of desperate survivors following a lunatic leader and a devoted father who are locked in a duel to the death (you decide who that really is).
This release contains every episode from the first season of True Detective, the HBO series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as two police detectives investigating the ritualistic murder of a woman, and uncovering a possibly conspiracy in the process. Meanwhile, their own personal lives are a wreck, often affecting how they do their job. Series creator Nic Pizzolatto wrote ever episode, and each was directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga.
Gritty, gothic and relentless, this HBO series gets its hands dirty with a labyrinthine murder mystery based in Louisiana. Top notch acting and great story telling, this season outlines the fight between good and evil on a modern day level.
This action-adventure chronicles the escapades of a swashbuckling and brutal pirate, Captain Flint (Toby Stephens), his shipmates and his rivals in the early 18th-century Caribbean. The series is a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island," and is set 20 years before the events depicted in that literary classic.
The world of Caribbean pirates expands this season and the levels of gratuitous violence is raised up as well. For the history buff with a need for the raw reality of days past, keep this one in mind.
This action-adventure chronicles the escapades of a swashbuckling and brutal pirate, Captain Flint (Toby Stephens), his shipmates and his rivals in the early 18th-century Caribbean. The series is a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island," and is set 20 years before the events depicted in that literary classic. While bounding the Spanish Main and jolly-rogering across the seas, Flint accepts a young recruit, John Silver (Luke Arnold), to join his crew, while later quashing a mutiny, questing for treasures, broadsiding other pirate vessels and exchanging fire with the ships of the British Navy who have been charged with blowing Flint out of the water.
For any history buffs out there that thought pirate movies of the past (and not so past) were much too campy or goofy, this series finally shows a more realistic view of Caribbean pirates and the larger world around them. So good in fact, I almost forgot that Michael Bay produced this series.
A great follow up to "Band of Brother", this series continues the epic sage of WW2 with almost as much story and compelling character development as its predecessor. A must watch for fans.
