Though The Fades has only consisted of six episodes thus far (a second series is yet to be announced, but highly possible), it emerges as entertaining supernatural horror with a twist of hip humor, and it’s absolutely perfect for those of you who have had it up to your necks with zombies (as it really isn’t a “zombie” title, per se) and fancy something a little crazier. Though it centers around a high school student, it isn’t directly aimed at said youth group (it’s a pretty R-rated series), so there’s your warning, parents.
BBC Video brings us all six hour-long episodes of The Fades on two discs in stellar 1080p presentations, with accompanying DTS-HD 2.0 Stereo sound (yup, that’s right: just stereo, kids) and English (SDH) subtitles for those of you who have trouble with British accents. Several special features are included with this set: six behind-the-scenes featurettes, a brief interview with co-stars Johnny Harris and Natalie Dormer (who play an adult Angelic and Fade, respectively), some deleted/extra scenes, outtakes, and additional introductions by Daniel Kaluuya’s character).
