Thandie
Newton returns to TV with the second season of her cop drama show
Rogue.
All ten episodes are presented here spanning four discs! For those
unfamiliar with the show Detective Grace Travis (played by Newton)
has been working undercover for some time. It has changed her
completely from the person she once was before she led the double
life. At the end of the First
Season
(reviewed elsewhere on this site), her undercover work cost her son
his life. Grace has brought herself to leave the undercover work and
spend time with her daughter Eve. Grace wanted to build on her
marriage but will later separate from her husband Tom.
Grace
will become a handler for the FBI but will be drawn back into the
game of the double life of the undercover agent. One of her
operatives goes missing and Grace feels compelled to search and find
them. Grace and crime boss Alec Lazlo will combine forces to search
for answers. Lazlo and Grace are very familiar to each other. Grace
had an affair with Lazlo to help save her life while undercover.
Grace is torn as she is trying to get over the loss of her son. She
wants to live a regular life or what she thinks it will be.
Unfortunately,
she is good at what she does and the crazy life of the undercover
agent keeps drawing her back. Her son's death was considered
mysterious but was never connected to her job but Grace believes it
was. Not to give too much of the drama away, be sure to check out
this show if you are into cop dramas... or Thandie Newton.
Episodes
for this season are Sex,
Drugs, and Rock n Roll, Saints of the Dead, You Just Get Used To It,
Hooker, Cruising, Killing an Arab, The Last Supper, Better Red Than
Dead, Oh Sarah, and the finale episode: Coup de Grace.
The
presentation on the disc is fine for DVD but could benefit to a
Blu-ray upgrade. Presented in standard definition with an anamorphic
widescreen transfer and lossy Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo track, the
transfer is pretty run of the mill.
The
bonus includes casting,
set tours with Nick Hamm
and Grace's
Apartment, Meet the Actors, developing characters story, Inside the
FBI Task Force, Who's Spying on Who?
