TV on DVD is so very cool. After a recommendation from Lee (not to mention my own curiosity), I rented the first disc of Joss Whedon’s Firefly a few weeks back. Really enjoyed it, so I ended up buying it. Good stuff.
Sticking with the trend, I decided to go rent the first couple of discs for BBC’s MI-5. It had piqued my interest previously, but hadn’t gotten around to looking for it until the recent issue of Wired reminded me. (The Wired/Tired/Expired segment included it as MI-5/Alias/24.) Been enjoying it so far. A bit complicated at times, so I’m guessing I may have to go back and watch some of these episodes again. Anthony Stewart Head (from Buffy fame) even appears in one of the eps.
the mi-5 box has always intrigued me, but i’ve never heard from anyone who has actually seen it…i didn’t want to risk buying it without knowing if it was good or not. all the reviews of it online seem to be positive, but sometimes that can be misleading. perhaps i’ll have to consider it now!
