The official press release, translated by Randy:
"MORE UNCOMPROMISING, MORE THRILLING: THE SECOND SEASON OF "DURHAM COUNTY - IN THE FRENZY OF VIOLENCE" EXCLUSIVELY ON RTL CRIME FROM 8 SEPTEMBER
RTL Crime airs six new episodes of "Durham County - In the Frenzy of Violence." In the second season of the award-winning Canadian series, more terrifying secrets will be unveiled, that must be kept in the dark under all circumstances. New enemies take stage and new conflicts break open.
From 8 September 2010 on RTL Crime viewers will require a particularly strong set of nerves! After serial killer Ray,from the first season, goes to jail, a woman who puts everything in the shade with her behavior takes the stage. Therapist Pen Verrity (Michelle Forbes, known from "True Blood", "24") is a truly seductive opponent to Detective Mike Sweeney (Hugh Dillon, known, among others, from "Flash Point") . Sexy, mysterious, and with murderous intent!
Mike is very depressed following the separation from his wife and easily becomes susceptible to his co-worker Pen's charms, who, a psychologist, acts as an advisor in their current investigation. However, the detective would never think it possible that Pen is very disturbed and poses life-threatening risk to him and his family... The depths of the human soul are opening up. An implacable war of life and death begins.
Michelle Forbes won the prize for Best Actress in the Monte Carlo TV Festival for her performance in the second season of "Durham County - In the frenzy of violence," Hugh Dillon was also nominated for Best Actor in Monte Carlo. The Directors Guild of Canada nominated the new season for Best Direction, Best Picture Editing and Best Production Design. The series' first season won the majority of TV awards for the 2008 season in Canada, including five Gemini Awards, among others for Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Best Direction. It was also named The Best Prime-Time Series in the field of drama at the "FTPA Indie Awards 2008".
@the RTL PR folks: We're glad our blog served as a prompter :D
* DC Season 2 DVD set went on sale in Canada today. From a DVD review:
"Let’s just say if you can only make room for one new dramatic series in your schedule, let it be Durham County — it’s some of Canada’s finest television work."

* I'd love to write about the third season on this blog as well, but haven't found a smart way to assimilate it, mirandazero.blogspot was meant as a site covering the work of Michelle Forbes, after all. And her characters have, as we all know too well, the unfortunate tendency to end up dead. How dead? Ultimately and perfectly dead.
We 'could' rename the blog title to:
You Are On The Global Frequency
Formerly known as: Michelle Forbes Community Blog
... and write about all the great stuff we love. What do you think?

This is probably one of the best fan sites made for an actor, and as a professional web designer I've seen many.
ReplyDeleteI'm very attached to this blog. As a fan of Michelle Forbes I appreciate the thoughtful and informative nature of the articles and the reviews. Part of its charm is the respect and love you show for her work and her person.
I'm a regular visitor enjoying it as it is now. As if there wasn't already enough magic in her work, you truly add your own magic.
Don't expand the scope. There's so much more I'd love to know about Michelle Forbes' past and current projects!
Thank you so much Derek!

I'll pass this on to Randy!!!!!!
More opinions?
Answer to your email: i think both directions are ok.
ReplyDeletecan we look forward to gadgets, linux and programming articles here :D
maybe something less drastic, keep this as a site about Michelle but write the occasional off topic post as well?
ReplyDeletewoot woot...I cant believe it. I am moving back to Germany on the 3rd of September and can then watch it two days later :))) Wont be the same with it being dubbed but hey, we cant have it all :)
ReplyDeleteabout the e-mail: I am not so sure about the change. I kind of like the way it is run now...I agree with Rebecca. An occasional off topic post would probably work better.
Like Rebecca said, keep the blog as it is, and nothing wrong with occasional off-topic posts.
ReplyDeleteLuca, you're funny :p
What's Randy saying?
Randy's has been having visions of a title: 'Global Frequency Network'. :)
ReplyDeleteHe'd very much like to see posts on DC Season 3 and other great shows from around the globe, perhaps something along the lines of 'If you loved Michelle in..., you'll like this'?
He could also write on acting (since he has this silly ambition to become an actor), his inspirations, perhaps classical film (he's very fond of film noir).
He'd love to see more people writing stuff on Michelle & things they like & that inspire them. We're a wonderful bunch with great personalities.
...That's wonderful, Nicole. Enjoy! E I was watching Forbrydelsen in German. There was some high-class dubbing done on that. From the trailer on their site (http://rtl-crime.rtl.de/), I gather there's some great dubbing work put in.
Keep 'em coming, guys
ReplyDeleteLove the green bubble beside the title. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's cold in Canada.
It appears to me that our overseas' gang members prefer to remain silent. Don't complain later when we'll be making the jump here in a few days and say bye bye to Michelle ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe reason why I like this blog, it's quality and the way that the topics focus only on her work. I think we should keep it that way. However It would be great to talk about off topic things with these people too. So what about a new blog? Some kind of sub blog? We could call it "Aleph and the green bubble"... (I looove that bubble :) )
ReplyDeleteHi! Just wanted to chime in from oversea's here in Buffalo NY. I love this blog! I really like the small changes that come up. And the fact i't not 'fan-ish'. I agree with Akima that a sub-blog about off topic thing would be cool too. I'm finding other sites not really 'adult' enough for me. There nice, but... they tend to be 'fan-ish'. I know I haven't been around much to enjoy it more, but the weather here in Buffalo has been fantastic! So i've out enjoying it, including today. I went to Canada today to pick up my copy of Durham County 2! So very excited! Talk to later!
