Serial 04/16 Blu-ray (Rental)

Inspired by the Cyra McFadden novel The Serial: A Year in the Life of Marin County, Serial is director Bill Persky's (TV's Kate & Allie) satirical look at the lifestyles of California's 1970's hippie culture. Viewed through the eyes of Harvey Holroyd (Martin Mull, TV's Roseanne), a man perplexed by the behavior of his wife Kate (Tuesday Weld, Pretty Poison) and their liberal-minded friends, Serial lampoons everything from feminism, free love and sexual politics to cults, motorcycle clubs and the random midlife crisis. The gifted ensemble cast includes Sally Kellerman (MASH), Christopher Lee (Dr. Terror's House of Horrors), Bill Macy (The Holiday), Peter Bonerz (TV's The Bob Newhart Show), Nina Talbot (Night Shift), Tom Smothers (Get To Know Your Rabbit), Pamela Bellwood (TV's Dynasty) and Stacey Nelkin (Halloween III: Season of The Witch).
