HBO Home Entertainment is bringing Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer's Getting On: The Complete Second Season to Blu-ray this spring. Adapted from the BBC Four series of the same name, the six-episode second season stars Laurie Metcalf, Alex Borstein, Niecy Nash and Mel Rodriguez. Street date is April 21st.
Getting On takes place in the geriatric wing of a struggling hospital and follows a staff of overworked doctors and nurses and the elderly patients they look after. Though the tone is darkly comic, this critically-acclaimed series addresses very real issues such as death, hopelessness, abusive patients and the things it takes to survive a high-stress work environment. The hospital's care workers do whatever it takes to stay sane while dealing with unruly patients, their children and their bosses.
The Blu-ray release of Getting On: The Complete Second Season is presented in 1080p with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround. Special features have yet to be detailed.
