It's nothing to write home about just yet, but Showcase is the latest Foxtel channel to be launched in the subscription based arena. It's first few days will be occupied by the usual mini-series, Showtime and HBO TV dramas and local fare that originally clogged up the first Showtime channel. Additionally, Showcase will screen independent style movies and documentaries.What does this mean for us? Well, this means that Showtime is now an open supporter of critically panned commercial movies 24 hours a day, while Showcase gets all the praise worthy material. Time will tell if pure quality and pure shit complement each other, side by side.
New and biting TV shows will debut on Showcase in only days time, with Dexter coming in on the 6th, with others such as The Riches and Satisfaction following shortly after. It's a channel to keep your eye on, I get the feeling a lot of quality shows that are passed up by the major networks could find their way to Showcase for reliable residency.
