Department S blu ray box set from Via Vision. Lots of discs and extras in display.
I’ve already got Department S on blu ray, but this newer version - with a 228 page book and Jason flipping King upscaled to HD - is mighty tempting. Perhaps I could sell a kidney to pay for it?
And we’re out! The first TWO episodes of The Divide are available from wherever you get your podcasts. #audiodrama #spyfiction #podcast
