It always strikes me as funny when something considered high brow clearly has roots in things once, or still, considered low brow. Take HBO’s Southern Gothic crime drama True Crime, which is now being released on DVD and Blu-ray. While critics rightfully applauded its direction, writing, acting, and cinematography, the show is firmly rooted in the kind of pulpy, noir-ish crime novels that were once dismissed as junk. Which is why True Crime will appeal to those who enjoy quality television dramas as well as dark crime stories, especially if they watch it on this collection, which presents it with the picture and sound quality it deserves.
