theinvisibles dvd The Invisibles: Series 1 DVD Review

  • Release Date: May 26, 2009
  • Publisher: Acorn Media
  • Price: $34.99 on Amazon.com amazonbuynow The Invisibles: Series 1 DVD Review
  • Rating: Not Rated
  • Run Time: 347 minutes
  • Special Features: Filmographies
  • Starring: Anthony Head, Warren Clarke, Jenny Agutter, Dean Lennox Kelly
  • Genre: Drama, Comedy

This British show had a few positive qualities that made me start watching it pretty much as soon as I received a review copy. First, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” is my favorite show of all-time and thus I’ll watch just about anything with a “Buffy” alumni in it (Anthony Head played Giles, one of my favorite characters, in that series). Also, I really enjoy “Leverage,” a similar comedic drama about thieves. While I didn’t enjoy “The Invisibles” as much as I do “Leverage,” I do think it is worth watching. The only problem is the fairly high price tag for a show with only six episodes (for a total of 347 minutes).
