With less than a month before the fall TV season starts, most of the studios are releasing the DVD sets of last year’s seasons–just in time for people to catch up. Of all the releases this week, I’d recommend Heroes Season 1. It was one of the best new shows last year, following a disparate group of individuals who discover they have superhuman powers. Heroes may have had a plot hole or two, but it more than made up for it with its intricate storytelling and impressive ensemble cast.
This is the first week I’ve done a DVD Pick of the Week, so I’ll also point out that Ugly Betty Season 1 came out last week; Ugly Betty was my favorite new show last year, hands down. Heroes was a close second, but Ugly Betty is pure and delicious fun every second.
Other new releases this week, none of which I’ve seen, so I’m ordering them based on how much I’d like to see them:
- Friday Night Lights Season One (people I respect keep saying how good this is, but I’ve never tried it)
- Red Road
- Year of the Dog
- Blades of Glory
- Offside
- Kickin’ It Old Skool
