The critically acclaimed Canadian TV series about a dysfunctional classical theater troupe in Canada was previously issued season by season, but it now arrives as a complete set with a bonus disc of new extras. Each six-episode season follows the personal and professional crises of the company as they mount a masterpiece by Shakespeare—Hamlet in season one, Macbeth in season two and King Lear in the third. It’s an intelligent and nuanced backstage satire that displays a tone similar to that of The Office or a Christopher Guest mockumentary, only with a bit more drama and emotion—it does, after all, concern actors and theatrical types.

Shelf Talk: Slings & Arrows has won more than a dozen Gemini Awards (the Canadian equivalent of the Emmys) over the past three years and is regularly cablecast in the U.S. on the Sundance Channel, where it has developed a significant following. Also worth noting are the appearances by season-long guest stars Rachel McAdams (Wedding Crashers) and Sarah Polley (The Secret Life of Words, Dawn of the Dead), a pair of rising actresses who’ve been known to drum up attention.
