Snowpiercer - Complete Second Season

 

Snowpiercer - The Complete First Season

Synopsis

As Season One ended, so did the revolution, with Layton emerging as Snowpiercer's leader and another threat to the survivors fast approaching in the form of a rival train.  

In Season Two, Mr. Wilford arrives, bringing a secret from Melanie's past.  A new power struggle emerges causing a dangerous rift as people are divided between their loyalties to Layton and to Mr. Wilford, who has a new train, new technology and a game plan that keeps everyone guessing.  While Layton battles Wilford for the soul of Snowpiercer, Melanie leads the charge over a shocking new discovery that could change the fate of humanity.

My Thoughts

I enjoy watching apocalyptical movies and television series with my husband and children. It allows us to debate on what if scenarios of multiple sorts.   Whether we like it or not, I think it is good for our brain to think of how we would react and survive if something dramatic would happen on our planet.   

Let me remind you that this series is a reboot of a film,    The series follows the passengers of the Snowpiercer, a moving train that circle around the globe, after the planet became a frozen world.   The series deal with various themes like class warfare, social injustice and politics during a time of survival.  

A series like this is great to stir interesting discussions with your teenagers I find.  There is so much we could glean from the episodes and the themes explored.

This BluRay contains a digital code as well as special features that are linked to the arrival of Mr. Wilford.

The series  was renewed for a third season which will premiere in January 2022 and has already been renewed for a fourth season.  Keep your eyes on this series as I think we will see more new twists and turns in Snowpiercer.

Snowpiercer - Complete First Season

 

Snowpiercer - The Complete First Season

Synopsis

Set more than seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, Snowpiercer centers on the remnants of humanity who inhabit a perpetually moving train, with 1001 cars, that circles the globe. Class warfare, social injustice and the politics of survival play out in this riveting television adaptation based on the graphic novel series and film from Oscar® winner Bong Joon Ho (Parasite).

My Thoughts

I personally did not know about this show and reading the description of it I was curious.  What I also didn't know is that this television series is also based on a movie from a 2013 South Korean-Czech film and a French graphic novel from 1982 titled Le Transperceneige.

This post-apocalyptic dystopian thriller television drama series premiered on TNT back in May 2020. It has since been renewed for a second season which will come out on January 25th, 2021.

The idea behind the series is interesting.  With so many dystopian based movies and series out there, this one has definitively a unique idea.   The Earth has become a frozen wasteland and the remnant of the population travels endlessly around the world in a moving train which is composed of over 1000 cars.   Can you imagine living in close quarters for days on end while the outside world is an hostile environment?  I suspect there will be clashes and battles that will arise for sure particularly when you know that there are classes set up and a social hierarchy is visible.  How will the limited resources be allocated within the train?   

Interestingly enough the series is set in the year 2021.  This is close to home this time for a dystopian story.   As I write this just so my future readers understand why I say this - the year 2021 has started 16 days ago and today in Ontario, Canada we are having the first snow fall of the year.  

The series investigates class struggle since the passengers are segregated by wealth, social injustice, warfare and the politics of survival.

If you enjoy post-apocaliptic dystopian kind of television series, you will enjoy Snowpiercer.

Gotham Complete Series Blu-Ray

Today I am presenting you a new Blu-Ray set that could find numerous fans of Batman drooling this Christmas season.   Presenting Gotham the Complete Series which is now available everywhere.

What is Gotham? Well Gotham is a crime drama television series based on characters from DC Comics and appearing in the Batman franchise.  Essentially, you will follow Bruce Wayne when he was a teenager and how he slowly became the cape crusader that we all know.   Also in this series, you will see James Gordon and numerous villains like Penguin, Riddler, Carwoman, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, Hugo Strange, Solomon Grundy, Ra's al Ghul, Nyssa al Ghul, Bane and The Joker.

Keep in mind that this television series is more viewed like a prequel series based on Batman. What I mean by this is that you will visualize the process on how Bruce Wayne became the Batman, how James Gordon becomes an ally to Batman as well as how the villains became who they are in the comics.

Each Blu-Ray box contains the episodes of the season as well as special features.  Let me highlight the special features for each season of Gotham:

• First Season: 22 episodes, Gotham Invented, Gotham: Designing the Fiction, The Game of Cobblepot, Gotham: The Legend Rebord, DC Comics Night at Comic-Con 2014 - Presenting Gotham, The Flash, Constantine and Arrow, Character Profiles, Gag Reel, and Unaired Scenes plus a digital copy code.
• Second Season: 22 episodes, ALFRED: Batman's Greatest Ally, Gotham by Noir Light, Cold-Hearted: The Tale of Victor Fries, Character Profiles, Gotham: 2015 Comic-Con Panel and more plus a digital copy code.
• Third Season: 22 episodes, The Dark Within the Dark: The Court of Owls, Madness Rising: The New Villains of Gotham, Ben McKenzie Directional Debut, Gotham: 2016 Comic-Con Panel, Deleted Scenes plus a digital copy code.
• Fourth Season: 22 episodes, Solomon Grundy: Born on a Monday, The Sirens Take Gotham, The Best of DC TV's Comic-Con Panels San Diego 2017, Deleted Scenes plus a digital copy code.
• Fifth Season: 12 episodes, Villains: Modes of Persuasion - In-dept exploration of your favorite DC Super-Villains, Gotham S5:Best Moments in NY Comic Con 2018, Gotham: A Modern Mythology, Gotham's Last Stand, Unaired Scene.

Personally, I always found this television series to be darker than what I am used to.   Mind you the Batman movies/comics are always a bit more darker than other DC superheroes movies/comics so I suppose it makes sense to have a darker mood for the television series as well.   However, my husband who has been a big fan of Batman for years now has enjoyed the series while it was available online.  Unfortunately, he was not able to watch the fifth season as of yet because he could not access the series anymore.  So he was quite pleased when I received this blu-ray set because now he will be able to watch the final season of one of his favorite shows.

Gotham: The Complete Series is now available in Blu-Ray or DVD formats at your favorite store, even on amazon (Canada and US). It would make a perfect gift to any fan of Batman in your life.
