Blu-Ray Review: ‘V: The Complete First Season’ Exploits Modern Paranoia
Submitted by mattmovieman on November 5, 2010 - 7:47amCHICAGO – Why do so many modern TV dramas fail? I suspect that part of the reason lies in the fact that a lot of these shows bend over backwards to be a major television event before they’ve earned that right. They cloak themselves in faux commentary merely so they can become mechanical fodder for water cooler discussion the morning after. That’s why the vast majority of new TV dramas might as well be called, “The Event.”
