CHANCER SERIES 2-TV DVD REVIEW


A short blurb from Acorn Media about Chancer Series 2: He’s back! In the complete second series of this British TV hit, Clive Owen turns on his megawatt charm as an irresistible rogue with a taste for scams, swindles, and romance.

The second and final series of the show are on this 2-disc set. The season is much darker in feel and tone from the first series. Chancer confesses and goes to prison and come back out and tries to the get his life back together. Again the music is by Jan Hammer from Miami Vice fame. This series also boasted 2 people that when on to bigger things, Louise Lombard who went onto the CSI TV series and Christopher Eccleston that went on to play the 9th Doctor in the newly re-vamped Doctor Who series. This set has Cast filmograpies. This set also comprises the final 7 episodes of the series.
