The irresistible and devastatingly addictive Netflix series comes to DVD for the very first time, as Narcos charts the rise of the infamous Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar.
Dubbed The King of Cocaine , Season 1 traces Escobar's rise to power between 1977 and 1992, a time in which he was responsible for smuggling 80 per cent of the cocaine supply into the United States, making himself a billionaire in the process. The show was met with critical praise and grew a hugely dedicated following when it debuted on Netflix last August.
This is the next box-set that you absolutely have to own and binge watch, taking its rightful place in your collection alongside iconic series such as The Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad and House of Cards.

All ten episodes from the second season of the American crime drama starring Wagner Moura as notorious Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar.
After becoming involved in the production and distribution of cocaine, Escobar quickly establishes himself as the head of a leading cartel. With his empire providing the majority of America's cocaine supply and pulling in billions of dollars worldwide, DEA agent Steve Murphy is sent to Colombia with the daunting task of bringing down one of the most powerful men in the world.
In this season, Escobar is forced to go to extreme lengths to avoid capture while rival cartels look to take advantage of the situation.
The Day The Law Died: It is a dark time in the history of Mega-City
One. Having employed blackmail and coercion in order to topple the
balance of power within the Justice Department, the tyrannical head
of the Special Judicial Squad Judge Cal has managed to secure the
position of Chief Judge. The crazed Cal has enlisted the help of an
army of reptilian alien mercenaries known as the Kleggs, appointed
his pet goldfish as deputy Chief Judge and framed Judge Dredd for
murder in order to maintain power. But Dredd is the kind of Judge
who doesn't go down too easily and together with a rebel army made
up of other Judges and citizens, prepares to fight back. Judge
Dredd Luna 1: In 2061, an international lunar treaty divided a
million square miles of the moon's surface between Mega-Cities One,
Two and Texas City. Every six months one of these cities has to
supply a Judge-Marshal to govern it... enter Judge Dredd! An
environment every bit as deadly as the streets of the 'Big Meg',
Judge-Marshal Dredd has his work cut out for him - especially when
war breaks out during the first Lunar Olympics! The Judge Child:
When Judge Feyy, Mega-city One's oldest pre-cognitive, has a vision
of the city being destroyed in 2120, Judge Dredd and a select group
of other Judges, including future Chief Judge Hershey, are sent on
a mission to find the Judge Child. Apparently, young Owen Krysler
may be the only one with the power to stop the apocalyptic event
from ever happening.
This Research Handbook offers a comprehensive study of
jurilinguistics that not only presents the latest international
research findings among academics and practitioners, but also
provides a new approach to the phenomena and nature of
communicative flexibility, legal genres, vulnerability of
interlingual legal communication, and the cultural landscape of
legal translation. Chapters explore the theory of jurilinguistics
investigating the features of a broad range of national discourses.
Offering a unique perspective on the complex and dynamic
relationship between language and the law, the impressive selection
of contributors discuss the efficiency, flexibility and
vulnerabilities of communication in legal settings. Anne Wagner and
Aleksandra Matulewska approach the topic from a multidimensional
standpoint, dealing with a myriad of topics, notably the general
theory of jurilinguistics, the genres and characteristics of legal
language, and the improvement of the quality of legal language.
This discerning Research Handbook will appeal to a variety of
academics and researchers in law, translation, jurisprudence,
applied linguistics, and rhetoric, looking to broaden their
understanding of jurilinguistics as an interdisciplinary and
cross-cultural operation. It will also serve as both a theoretical
and practical resource for lawyers, legislators, lawyer-linguists,
and legal translation specialists alike.
Mega-City One is at the mercy of a terrible act of retribution,
thirty years in the making. The Chaos Bug has been released and a
weakened Justice Department are finding it increasingly difficult
to remain in control. As Judge Dredd searches for the perpetrators
of this heinous act, another fearsome faction is added to the
fray...Fear, Fire and Mortis - the Dark Judges! This stunning
conclusion to the latest Mega-epic, written by John Wagner (Button
Man, Strontium Dog) and featuring the art of Henry Flint (Zombo),
Colin MacNeil (Insurrection), Leigh Gallagher (Defoe) and Ben
Willsher (Lenny Zero), ensures that nothing in Dredd's world will
ever be the same again!
This comprehensive Research Handbook explores the wide variety of
work conducted in legal semiotics, providing a thorough
understanding of how the law works through signs and symbols.
Demonstrating that the law is a strategical system of fluctuating
signs, contributors critically analyse the ever-evolving
conceptualisations of law and legal discourse. Bringing together
leading international experts, this Research Handbook focuses on
the material, everyday forms of law comprised by non-verbal legal
semiotics. Contributors conduct culturally nuanced semiotic
analyses of the modern world, covering topics from COVID-19,
religion, and human rights, to comic books and music. Chapters
consider the foundations of semiotics, as well as the philosophy of
law, identifying the cross-cultural similarities in how legal
semiotics and visual legal semiotics intersect. Ultimately, the
Research Handbook demonstrates that the law is in a state of
perpetual flux, with many unique dimensions only made visible by
semiotic analysis. The Research Handbook on Legal Semiotics will be
an invaluable resource for students and scholars of law,
jurisprudence, legal culture, linguistics, and semiotics. It will
also be an important guide for legal practitioners seeking to
better understand the nuances of the legal system. >

Part Dirty Harry, part Judge Dredd, all badass! Police Detective
Jack McBane is the toughest, meanest law enforcer in 1970's New
York City. Having lost his left eye in the line of duty, McBane
will stop at nothing to rid the crime-infested streets of scumbags
and villains - even if it means having to occasionally break the
rules!
Douglas Schulze directs this unconventional genre movie in which a
group of horror fans get more than they bargained for when they
find themselves immersed in their own nightmare. Russell (Taylor
John Piedmonte) and Duane (Allen Maldonado) attend a horror
convention where they listen to Alfonso Betz (Sid Haig) rail
against the media presenting horror movies as an influence on real
life murders. After the lecture, Russell and Duane meet Judith
(Lauren Mae Shafer), an attractive fellow convention attendee who
invites them to a party that night at an isolated farmhouse.
Something bizarre happens at the party and Russell and Duane awake
to find themselves under attack from hordes of zombies. As horror
devotees, the pair are only too aware that their predicament eerily
echoes the classic Romero movie 'Night of the Living Dead'. Will
they be able to elude a traditional horror ending?
Taking an innovative look at the origins of economics, this
forward-thinking book relocates economics from a materialistic
general theory of rational action into an idealistic theory of
social organization and individual action. Adding new insightful
analytical methods such as complexity theory, graph theory and
computational modelling to the original insights of the Scottish
Enlightenment, Richard Wagner explores economics in an
ever-changing society, looking at the key civilizing processes and
the important social questions. Rethinking Economics as Social
Theory moves away from the traditional review of analytical
exercises and associated data and illustrates an enlightening
scheme of thought where human societies are heterogeneous and not
homogeneous and where change is continually in motion. Furthermore,
Wagner theorises that economizing is a universal form of human
action that plays out in numerous substantive directions and shows
cooperation and conflict to have a yin-and-yang relationship. This
illuminating book will prove an excellent resource for economists
interested in working outside of comparative statics as well as
social scientists looking for a broader vision of economics.
Philosophers and those working in the field of biological sciences
will also find this an informative read.
In this sequel to 'Escape from the Planet of the Apes' the year is

being treated as slaves, he leads his brother simians in rebellion
against their overlords.
