New This Week


Battlestar Galactica: The Remastered Collection ($62.44) offers the original 1978-79 “Battlestar Galactica” and “Galactica 1980” in HD, resized (with some top and bottom imagery excised) for modern widescreen sets.


Battlestar Galactica: The Definitive Collection ($84.37) gives you the option of watching the original 1978-79 “Battlestar Galactica” and “Galactica 1980” in their boxey (pardon the pun) original aspect ratio or resized (with some top and bottom imagery excised) for modern widescreen sets. All in HD. This edition also contains three hours of deleted scenes and featurettes on “Galactica” mastermind Glen Larson, series composer Stu Phillips, and more.


“Murder In The First” means the same thing as “Murder One,” which was the name of Steven Bochco’s 1995 ABC series that also followed a single case over the course of a season. “Murder One,” inspired by the O.J. Simpson murder trial, put the emphasis on defense attorneys, while Bochco’s new 10-episode TNT series “Murder in the First” gives the investigating cops more screen time.

As with “Murder One,” the main murder suspect is a wealthy man, this time a tech genius who may have some dark secrets.

“First” stars Kathleen Robertson (“Boss”), Taye Diggs (“Private Practice”), James Cromwell (“Boardwalk Empire”), Steven Weber and Tom Felton (the unpleasant Draco Malfoy from the “Harry Potter” pictures).

Bochco is actually an “executive producer” on the series, which could mean anything. The series’ actual creator is a fellow named Eric Lodal, an opera singer/political staffer who does not seem to have a background writing for the screen.

“Murder One” is one of my favorite series of all time. The critics weigh in on the new series thusly:

Hitfix says:

... pretty good … The character beats with the heroes are as familiar as the show's ensemble, but the leads do some interesting things with them. Robertson in particular comes across as more genuinely damaged than the archetype requires, so the various scenes of her going on bad dates don't feel like filler, but like the build-up for an explosion.

The New York Times says:

... while this new show is not as innovative as its predecessor, it is, in its own way, similarly well paced and compelling. …

The Los Angeles Times says:

... a masterfully paced balance of tricky whodunit and character development…

The San Francisco Chronicle says:

... The show is generally well written, expertly directed (Thomas Schlamme of "West Wing" directs the pilot) and most of the performances are solid. …

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says:

... The premiere episode of “Murder in the First” is somewhat dull, particularly anytime the plot strays from the case to the home lives of the detectives. Viewers just haven’t spent enough time with either one this early in the show’s run to care about these characters. Their predicaments, while sometime sad, seem like the same trials and tribulations viewers have seen TV characters endure before. …

The Boston Herald says:

... has low ambitions and satisfies them easily. … There’s nothing wrong with whipping up some comfort food, of course, but “Murder” might leave you hungry for something more challenging an hour later.

The Boston Globe says:

... The characters may be shallow, but that doesn’t keep the show from giving the easy pleasures of reading a quickie mystery novel. And a few of the actors are entertaining despite the limitations of the script, notably Felton, who steals his scenes with the anarchic brattiness of King Joffrey from “Game of Thrones.” …

Variety says:

... Stripped of those contextual concerns, the previewed hours establish the series as crisp and watchable, while perhaps shrewdly shifting and expanding the earlier show’s lens from defense attorneys to the detectives assigned the case. …
