THE SERIES


When Sarah Manning’s (ELAINE CASSIDY) husband, Lee (PAUL POPOWICH), is killed while on business in Montreal, her life back in Dublin starts to spin out of control. Sarah soon realizes she knew little about her husband’s past or his job at a powerful international pharmaceutical company. Assigned to the case, Detective Emer Byrne (ANGELINE BALL) doggedly investigates the conflicting evidence, even in defiance of her superior’s order. As more lies surface, Sarah begins to suspect that Lee’s murder could be connected to the death of her first husband.

RLJ Entertainment releases Acceptable Risk onto Blu-ray presented with a 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer which looks quite good, probably a tad better than what you would watch on television, particularly the sharpness. The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track meanwhile provides for clear dialogue levels and the most depth is on display with the score.

Overall, Acceptable Risk is an entertaining mystery-thriller excelling with the performances by its cast including Elaine Cassidy and Lisa Dwyer Hogg and is well worth checking out if you like crime-centric shows. This Blu-ray offers up good video/audio transfers and a respectable amount of bonus material.
