Now out on Blu-ray and DVD today, Fortitude (PBS Distribution, 10 hours) is an Arctic set series about a seemingly idyllic town that gradually crumbles after a man’s murder at the hands of a polar bear. Things are usually never what they seem, especially in Fortitude, as a polar bear may be the least of these denizens’ problems.
A second season of Botched has begun, as doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif utilize their skills to help patients who are in dire need of surgery.

Joey Cook’s inimitable flair and unmistakable talent will be missed, as she was voted off American Idol on Wednesday night as Rayvon Owen moved on to the top six. Cook, who brought a refreshing country spin to her rendition of “Somebody to Love,” handled her exit with her trademark verve and class.
Justified: The Complete Final Season hits Blu-ray and DVD on June 2, and since the show ended on a highly resonant, well-acted, and superbly written note, I’m definitely looking forward to the Blu-Ray version.
