In a week full of “not bad” releases—Monsters Vs. Aliens, the complete series set of The Unit, etc.—there are a few “you should really check this out” titles that… well, you should really check out. Example: Secrecy, an unusually fair-minded issue-doc that considers what information our government classifies (and whether the order’s always legit). Another example: The Girlfriend Experience, Steven Soderbergh’s provocative, experimental low-budget inquiry into the decline of the service economy. And if you missed Kings during its too-brief run on NBC earlier this year, you can now catch up with the complete run of an imaginative, gorgeous-looking show, bound to be remembered for years hence as one of TV’s great missed opportunities.
