New Release Tuesday

It's TV week at Harry's!

This is called the most bad ass show on TV for a reason.  It runs at full throttle and runs that way from the season opening episode to the season finale.  SOA skied very slippery slopes to open the season and incorporated a school shooting that had ripple effects for the whole season along with many deaths.  Jax is the king of the club and his relationships and are crumbling around him so the club really had to band together to overcome the odds.  We lost some really good characters this past season but some of them you really rooted for because they had it coming.  Show creator Kurt Sutter and FX decided this coming season will be the last and if you remember anything from Hamlet it is that there were not many people left at the end.  This should be a great last season which starts September 9.

This season of The Walking Dead was really good as the new show runner actually had writers write good stuff for the show and did not string plot lines along for half a season like his predecessor.  Last season losing the prison would have been spread over 4 episodes, this season it was all wrapped into one action packed episode.  The TWD characters spent half the season spread out but they have been slowly coming together again at a place called Terminus where there is hope and maybe safety.  We also get introduced to some more new characters that are joining Rick and the gang and these guys have a plan.  I really need to watch the finale again so I can get a better look at Terminus and see how they are about to screw with the wrong people.

I am really excited about this release from Warner Archive as the late, great Robert Urich stars as Spenser in this mystery/suspense series based on Robert Parker's "Spenser" novels. Spenser, a private investigator living in Boston, gets involved in a new murder mystery each episode.  Urich was great in this but I also loved Avery Brook as Spenser’s friend Hawk.  

This was a really fun show as Edward Woodward stars as a retired intelligence agent turned private detective helps various threatened clients to equalize the odds.  It is nice to finally get season 2 of this but I was expecting a whole season release the Denzel movie version of this coming out soon.
