Interested in the latest TV on DVD reviews? DVD Talk has you covered! This week's notable entries include:
Unreal: Season 1 - thanks to insightful and smart writing, all around terrific performances, and an unflinching look at the disgusting world of reality television, this show is a true find for anyone looking for good drama; Downton Abbey - Season 6 - the quality doesn't drop in this final year of the popular show... the writing was always excellent and the production quality was remarkable throughout; and Show Me a Hero - HBO allowed David Simon and William F. Zorzi (The Wire) to craft story about a caustic battle over public housing n the result is truly phenomenal miniseries.

New Reviews: Inside Llewyn Davis, I Confess, and The Last Detail
Check out the latest reviews that have been entered into the DVD
Talk Review Database including:
Inside Llewyn Davis: Criterion Collection - Joel and Ethan Coen's film marks another fine effort from the beloved writing and directing duo: loaded with great performances, terrific dialogue, and a compelling story about a "failed" musician's life in a crowded world; I Confess - an expertly directed picture from Alfred Hitchcock that dutifully exploits its Quebec locations with some remarkably atmospheric black and white cinematography while simultaneously getting some great performances out of its cast; and The Last Detail - an essential film from the New Hollywood of the 1970s offers Jack Nicholson in one of his signature roles, ably abetted by a reluctant Otis Young and a sweetly goofy Randy Quaid.
