| Paramount Home Entertainment has released a TV series-based hi-def home video disc package once before, with last November's Star Trek - Season 1: Remastered HD DVD and DVD Combo, which (as the title tells) was for the now-defunct HD DVD hi-def format. But since the studio has moved back into the Blu-ray Disc camp, they haven't announced any "TV-on-BD" titles for the winning hi-def disc format...until today. And it's a killer title, too! This morning they've revealed that January 6th will see Dexter - The 1st Season on Blu-ray Disc. Dexter is a crime drama about Dexter Morgan, a man who leads a double life as an incredibly likeable forensics expert for the Miami Police Department and as an emotionless vigilante serial killer. Taught by his foster father to harness his lust for blood and killing, Dexter lives by his own strict moral code - he only kills murderers who can't otherwise be brought to justice. Dexter is a killer who grapples with fitting into society while, at the same time, he struggles with his inability to feel emotion. The irony of Dexter's life is that he works closely as a blood splatter analyst with the very people who hunt his kind - the homicide departments. All 12 episodes, running 576 minutes, will be presented in 1080p high definition widescreen. Audio soundtrack will be in English - 5.1 Dolby TrueHD, with a Spanish - 2.0 Dolby Digital option. English subtitles are also going to be available. Package art, bonus material and other details haven't been provided yet, but stay tuned and we'll update you just as soon as we can! |
