I just bought PBS's Region-1 2-DVD set of this production that aired on Masterpiece a couple of years ago. I was really surprised and disappointed to see noticeable blurring/ghosting of characters when they move around (nod their heads, walk from one side of the scene to another, etc.). It's as...

I watched the original BBC broadcast and streamed in SD from Amazon Prime (since deleted) a couple of years ago. Has anyone bought this new UK Blu-ray release and can comment on picture quality? The are a mix of positive and negative reviews at Amazon UK. I assume because the video footage has...

Leave it to the BBC to continually up the ante with the overall quality of their 4k programming. I first experienced a sampling of Seven Worlds One Planet at a demo at Value Electronics. They had virtually every variant of 8k panels in production for the home market on display, and I was...

From the creators of the BBC's Sherlock, a three-part Dracula miniseries coming in 2020. https://ew.com/tv/2019/10/27/dracula-trailer-bbc/

Just finished season one. Came here to find there wasn't even a thread on season 1! How have people missed this show? It's excellent and I love the black humor. (PS, Not sure how I missed season 1 but there were several people talking about is so I thought I'd catch up on it.) Season 2 just...

Twelve years after New Line Cinema's The Golden Compass failed to kick off a new young adult franchise in the face of underwhelming domestic box office and fierce criticism from the Catholic church, the studio is back at it again with a TV series adaptation of Philip Pullman's entire trilogy for...

I just got the complete Goodies box from Amazon UK. The restorations are fantastic. I projected it on my ten foot screen and both the video segments and the film segments looked great. I've only watched disc 7 so far, but the Rolf Harris safari episode is there and the Jimmy Saville gags are...

The BBC asked 253 film critics – 118 women and 135 men – from 52 countries and six continents a simple question: “What do you think are the 10 best comedies of all time?” Films from any country, and made anytime since cinema was invented, were eligible, and there was no fixed definition of what...

I've been watching these two series on blu-rays I got from Amazon UK. These series were created by Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton who were behind The League of Gentlemen. They're among the most skillful writers and talented performers working today. The two principles are capable of...

I've now been able to view upwards of 100 4k UHD releases, both with and without HDR. Well over half, have been similar to their HD Blu-ray in quality, with the sometimes added benefit of HDR in their 4k format. More than a dozen will have you wondering why they're even released as 4k. Some...

Any Chance this will come to Blu Ray/DVD?

Has anyone watched this series streaming on Amazon? Done by the BBC. It's like a murder mystery with sci-fi overtones set in a small town in Tasmania. They're calling it in the style of Tasmanian gothic. Has a similar feel to The Killing or The Bridge. I watched the whole thing - 8 eps and it...

Anyone watching this show? It's pretty good. About a girl that was kidnapped and held for 13 years and finally escapes. Once she escapes, her captor kidnaps another girl. The cops are suspicious. What does she know?

Why hasn't this iconic series gotten the blu treatment yet? I know there are some British series that can't be converted to this format, but I would easily think that this one could though. I mean who wouldn't want to see Eddie and Patsy in glorious HD?

<b>Orphan Black: Season One Blu-ray Review</b><p><p>An engrossing, existential mystery lies at the heart of BBC America’s instantly addicting new sci-fi drama, but it’s the amazing performance by the show’s lead actress that really sells the premise. No doubt the series looks its best on the...
