EDITOR’S LETTER L et’s face it, the best way to watch TV shows is on DVD or Blu-ray. No constant disruption from noisy commercial breaks. No danger of your favourite show being relegated to a 1am time-slot because the ratings didn’t live up to expectations. And you get to see exactly what you want to watch, when want to watch it, without having to wade through a whole lot of other shows that you have no real interest in seeing but have to pay for anyway. So it’s good to have Sons Of Anarchy on the front cover this month: as with many long-running series, it’s had its ups and downs, but with a final series now just around the corner, the sixth season is a cracker. As well as being our DVD of the Month, overleaf we have a bit of news about SOA creator Kurt Sutter’s new TV creation The Bastard Executioner. Elsewhere in the May edition of STACK , there are features on the hit musical Into The Woods , the eagerly anticipated Witcher III: Wild Hunt and the Farrelly Brothers’ return to Dumb and Dumber , along with interviews with Mumford & Sons and Anika Moa, and much more. Enjoy!
