TV Review: State of Play

Energy industry, politics, murder, illicit affairs... Not groundbreaking premise for a show, but State of Play is a very well done series coming to us from Great Britain. I rented the six part mini-series on DVD and watched it over a couple of nights. I found it very engrossing. Bill Nighy is superb in supporting roll as the editor of the paper chasing the story of the murder of a legislative assistant to a Member of Parliament leading a commission studying the oil industry.

TV Review: Torchwood

I find the BBC show Torchwood, which is shown on HDNet, to be one of the most fun and interesting shows on television. As an avid X-Files watcher back in the day, I've never really found a replacement for that specific type of show, until now. Torchwood is a sort of supernatural police force that protects the world from aliens and other assorted bad-guys who occasionally fall through a rift in the space/time continuum that happens to be centered around Cardiff, Wales.
