Afterlife
is a British supernatural horror series that follows the activities
of a psychic medium who appears to have the ability to communicate
with the spirits of the dead.
The
main characters of the series are the psychic, Alison Mundy (played
by Lesley Sharp) and the academic who becomes involved with her due
to his skeptical interest in the paranormal, Dr. Robert Bridge
(Andrew Lincoln also known as Rick Grimes from AMC's The
Walking Dead).
Set in Bristol, each of the six one-hour episodes of the first
series sees Alison become involved in the appearance of a spirit and
attempting to discover why it has come back to haunt the living.
In
Season
Two,
as Alison Mundy struggles to recover from a near fatal séance, she
becomes more determined than ever to help the living heal from
relationships torn apart by death. Shaken by a heart-stopping
encounter with his dead son, former skeptic Robert Bridge (Lincoln)
turns to Alison for help in making sense of life. But the gifted
psychic is suddenly missing in action and becomes face to face with a
ghost from her past! Can she confront the hostile spirit AND
maintain her sanity?
The
eight episode second season includes the episodes Roadside
Bouquets, The Rat Man, Lullaby, Your Hand In Mine, Mirrorball, Mind
The Bugs Don't Bite, Things Forgotten, and
A Name Written in Water.
The
show is miles better than Supernatural
and some pretty interesting characters and special effects that put
it above most shows over the same caliber. For this edition, the
presentation is in standard definition with an anamorphically
enhanced 178 X 1 aspect ratio and a lossy stereo Dolby Digital 2.0
track. English SDH are also available on the disc, which runs 370
minutes in length.
Extras
include a Behind the Scenes documentary: Bringing
The Dead To Life:
a look at what it takes to create the chill.
