DVD Reviews
I think anyone interested in the 2016
presidential election will enjoy this DVD set of this
docu-series. However, it may be too painful still for
some to watch (especially anyone who is horrified that
Donald Trump is president). This 5 disk set follows
each of the candidates throughout the campaign. You see a
lot of behind-the-scenes stuff. It's great for any political
junkie. This is not my kind of series because
I don't have this kind of deep interest in politics. I
know many poli sci professors, though, so I'm sure they
would like it. If you didn't watch the series on Showtime,
you might enjoy it now. The only warning is
that it wouldn't play in my regular DVD player, which is
fairly old. It played fine in my Blu-Ray player, even though
it's not a Blu-Ray set. MORE INFORMATION:
THE CIRCUS: INSIDE THE GREATEST
POLITICAL SHOW ON EARTH
Docu-series Following The 2016 Bid For President of the
United States
Available for Pre-Order On Amazon
SANTA MONICA – “The Circus: Inside
The Greatest Political Show on Earth,” the real-time
political docu-series about a presidential campaign, is
available on demand at Amazon.com and other online merchants
for $34.99 on
Blu-Ray
and $29.99 on DVD,
from CBS Home Entertainment.
Pulling back the curtain on the 2016 presidential race, the
26 half-hour episodes
follow key characters and stories from the campaigns, taking
viewers behind-the-scenes and deep inside the fiercest
competition on earth --
where the ultimate prize is the most powerful office in the
world.
Produced in cooperation with Bloomberg Politics, “The
Circus” features Mark Halperin and
John Heilemann (co-authors of the New York Times
best-sellers Game Change and Double Down, who both served as
co-hosts of the nightly political show "With All Due
Respect" on Bloomberg Television and MSNBC and Managing
Editors of Bloomberg Politics during the 2016 election
cycle) and noted campaign strategist Mark McKinnon, as they
in turn follow candidates along the campaign trail. “The
Circus” is produced by Left/Right, a
part of Red Arrow Entertainment Group for SHOWTIME. Mark
Halperin, John Heilemann, Mark McKinnon, Banks Tarver, Ken
Druckerman and Scott Boggins serve as executive producers.
Ted Bourne and Mary Robertson are co-executive producers.
The series aired throughout 2016 on SHOWTIME®.
Brimming with emotion, intimacy and irreverence, “The
Circus” reveals the drama, comedy
and pathos
behind the headlines, laying bare the candidates and the
people around them for what they are: fueled at once by
ambition and idealism, endlessly fascinating and inevitably
flawed... and deeply, recognizably human. The series
kicks off in January 2016 with attention focused on three
‘outsiders’ Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders on the
road to the Iowa caucus; and continues to crisscross the
country, from the primaries, as the Republican field
narrows, to
the fierce head-to-head debates between Hillary Clinton and
Donald Trump, through election night itself. Along
the way, “The Circus” reveals the
intense,
irreverent, inspiring and infuriating stories behind the
headlines of one of the most fascinating and consequential
elections in modern history.
