Pulling – The Complete Second Season (2008/MPI DVD)

 

Picture: C+     Sound: C+     Extras: C-     Episodes: C+

 

 

Two years after its debut, the British TV series Pulling finally returned for a second season.  The show was a surprise and very impressive, as our coverage of The Complete First Season will show:

Unfortunately, the makers seemed to have waited too long and for its Complete Second Season, the show lost its edge.  Now the characters had less energy, were less distinctive, the writing for them had less depth and despite not loosing any of the original cast members, the chemistry was dulled.  The result is that the show is no longer funny and unless you really land up loving the characters, you will likely agree if you start from the beginning.  Even if you are a huge fan, you may still be disappointed.

 

The anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image is not as weak as the disc for the first season, though it has a generic look.  The Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo mixes on all the episodes are well recorded, edited and clean enough, with some Pro Logic surrounds, but nothing substantial.  Extras this tome only includes deleted scenes.
