“Game of Thrones: The Complete Third Season”
Even if this wasn’t one of the best series on television, it would be worth picking up this box set just to watch the “Red Wedding” episode.
We won’t spoil it for those of you who haven’t seen it, but it’s safe to say that once you see it you’ll never forget it. Among the many DVD extras are new looks at that infamous episode.
“Game of Thrones” has earned high praise for being a compelling and captivating story of battling families of the Seven Kingdoms based on the books by George R. R. Martin.
Grade: A-
“Nurse Jackie: Season 5”
After “The Sopranos” ended, it was difficult to believe Edie Falco would ever find a series and a role that came close to the quality of her mob days.
The highly praised “Nurse Jackie” is a triumph of acting for the Emmy-winning Falco. From the drug-addicted medical professional to this season’s post-rehab aftermath, Falco has given pure acting life to the role. Falco masterfully navigates the character through this season as she goes from nurse to patient.
It doesn’t hurt she has a superb supporting cast including Peter Facinelli, Eve Best, Paul Schulze, Dominic Fumusa, Anna Deavere Smith, Adam Ferrera and Merritt Wever.
Grade: B+
