"Death Row", this weeks episode of Dark City

But if, for some reason, you can't catch it tonight (at 10:30pm on Astro Ria, Channel 4) - like being in Bintulu, stuck in a hotel room without Astro Ria - the episode will be repeated another five times this week at the following dates and times:

Still from "Death Row", this weeks episode of Dark City
(Wednesday nights, 10:30pm Astro Ria)

And what is this episode about? Director Tony Pietra was kind enough to provide a synopsis.
(episode synopsis, and trailer, in the full post)

"A stark, violent prison drama/thriller set in an imaginary SoutheastAsian country ... and beyond the grave. A brutal guard inflicts hell on the inmates, but hellbound is the one who remains unrepentant for his sadism."

And if that's not good enough to pique your curiosity, and persuade you to switch to Channel 4 tonight from whatever other crap you happen to be watching on Astro, here's a trailer (via YouTube) of the Dark City series.

Looks pretty cool, actually... About as much gore as one could possibly get away with on Malaysian TV. Walski will definitely have to catch one of the re-runs... as in, guess who's in Bintulu, stuck in a hotel room without Astro Ria...
