A+ for effort, even if some of the CGI is a bit wonky, this trailer from ITV shows off some of the best of its current as well as older dramas. See how many you can recognise.
You may notice, incidentally, that ITV can apparently only do crime and period drama well.
So I’m wanting to rewatch season one of The Almighty Johnsons, just to see if there were things flagged up way back when that I missed at the time. I check iTunes and it only has season 3, and only those episodes that have already aired on SyFy in the UK.
Curses.
So I stump up the cash and buy it from Amazon instead. Yay. I now have The Almighty Johnsons to watch.
Except… I’m flicking through Netflix a few days later and (shock!) they only have both seasons 1 and 2 to view for free (if you’re a subscriber, obviously). Yes, it had to happen one day: Netflix actually had something I wanted to watch, when I wanted to watch it and I didn’t bother to check, because it was so unprecedented.
Rats. Still, at least I have a DVD now…. and if you haven’t seen the show and you have Netflix, now’s your chance to watch it. It’s very good, even if it takes a little time to warm up.
They even have English subtitles, you lucky people (you’ll need to press the caption button at the bottom of the first one to get the subtitles). The Independent reckons November for a UK broadcast, BTW.
I do love Hannibal. Clearly the best new series this year, it’s clever, disturbing, beautiful to look at and filled with wonderful dialogue. I’d recommend getting it on Blu-Ray in the US, at least (extra features: Commentary from the Cast and Crew, Gag Reel, Deleted Scenes, Unrated Episodes, Symphony of a Slaughter), although it’s not such an obvious buy in the UK (extra features: First Look Featurette, Forensics 101 Featurette).
Thankfully, despite getting some really crappy ratings in the US on NBC, it’s been renewed for a second season and filming is just about to begin. So everybody in the cast and crew is celebrating… by wearing floral crowns.
More pictures after the jump.
