Tru Calling's trump cards are its intriguing paranormal
premise and the lead performance by the underrated Eliza Dushku (Buffy the
Vampire Slayer), both of which have earned it a small but loyal audience;
both of these virtues are preserved in this six-disc set that includes not only
the entire 2003 debut season but a surprising amount of supplemental features.
Dushku plays Tru Davies, a young morgue attendant who discovers, much to her
dismay, that she can hear the voices of the dead, as well as reverse their
fates; with the help of her brother (Shawn Reaves) and boss (Zack Galifianakis),
Tru relives the last day of these people's lives in order to prevent their
untimely deaths. |
