The Andromeda Strain: Season 1 [DVD] [Standard] [2 Discs]

The long night has come. The Systems Commonwealth, the greatest civilization in history, has fallen. Now, one ship, one crew, have vowed to drive back the night and rekindle the light of civilization. In season one of GENE RODDENBERRY'S ANDROMEDA, Captain Dylan Hunt finds himself 300 years in the future after being rescued from a black hole by a salvage ship. He recruits the ship's eclectic crew to aid him in restoring the Commonwealth, but finds their motives often at odds with his own.

The bucolic town of Brokenwood is picturesque on the surface, but it's idyllic façade harbors simmering passions that often erupt into grisly crimes. A transplant from the big city, Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea) employs unconventional methods to solve the small town's most gruesome murders with his partner, Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland), and eager young DC Sam Breen (Nic Sampson). In these four feature-length mysteries, Shepherd and his team contend with the death of a skydiver whose parachute was tampered with, the killing of the eccentric owner of a Victorian reenactment village, farmers feuding over the rights to honey bees, and a nursing home full of suspects with dementia. Set against the gorgeous backdrop of the New Zealand countryside, The Brokenwood Mysteries is a perfect pairingof lead detectives.

Nothing is out of bounds in the first season of this SPIKE original comedy. At the center of the action are the Blue Mountain State Goats, the team with the nastiest sacks in all of college football.
