Jack Bauer is probably one of the greatest "American heroes" in the history of television. His take no sheist attitude and his determination to do whatever it takes to get results is by far the most hardcore and badA of any of my favorite characters on television or in movies. You can also watch as the seasons progress as Jack puts up with less crap and gives up beating around the bush, and just does whatever it takes to get what he's looking for. I had always heard about 24 and wanted to get into it, but jumping into it midseason was always hard to do. I borrowed season one from a friend and was instantly hooked, so much that i decided to go ahead and get all of them. Ha, i guess this show is a lot like crack, cause once you start it, believe me, you're hooked.. If you've got the time, you'll probably blow through several episodes and discs (maybe even seasons) at a time..

I've checked on it, and wanted to get all five seasons on dvd to catch up on the show to watch it on tv, but they're very expensive to buy individually, even used. There's no other way to get all of these without spending fifty dollars apiece new, or spending thirty-five or so used. This boxed set with the first five seasons, is without a doubt the best deal you can come by, and I highly recommend it. Buy it, enjoy it, and be amazed at and envy Jack Bauer and his hardcore awesomeness.

As far as Im concerned, Bourne is the best action movie series ever made and it gets even better on bluray.

Since I discovered this series following the Original Airing of the AMC "Behind" Production - I have been supremely infatuated with this highly underrated series. This new set - which finally includes the Animated Series - is truly the cap to my collection of over 550 DVDs. And the Ceaser Head is OUTSTANDING! A great depiction of the BEST Character of the series. Thank you TCFHE.

My brother got me hooked on the reruns earlier this summer.  I thought he was a dork, but it turns out this is one of the most entertaining shows I've ever seen animated or otherwise.  The plot is incredibly deep for what was once an afternoon cartoon and the voice acting is fantastic, especially Keith David as Goliath.  Action packed, filled with drama, humor, and touching friendships, this is a must own DVD.  I can't wait until it comes out.  My only wish is that I watched this show the first time around, although I think as someone who is now 22, I can appreciate it a lot more.

Oh and the theme song is great.  The narration and clips give me goosebumps and get me ready for what's to follow.

This series must be watched from the very first episode or you'll miss the point entirely.  I first caught this show accidentally during reruns of the last season and I didn't think much of it.  I found many people felt that way when they began to catch an episode here and there on TNT.  Then a friend brought by the first 2 seasons of the show and asked me to give it a chance.  I put in the first disk and was sucked into the series by the 3rd episode.  I watched the entire season in one sitting.  I literally couldn't pull myself away from it.  I waited until Saturday to start the second season and I was glad I did.  I couldn't stop watching the second season either.  The day my friend came to collect his 2 seasons of Alias, I went out and bought them.  I'm hooked and will add every season to my collection as they become available.  It's a terrific show and worth every penny of the investment.  The scripts, actors, cinematography, story lines and casting is nothing short of superb.

first off let me say I do not watch action shooting type movies. they are usully just not my thing. But I do love shooter video games. This series reminds me of a really good video game. like call of duty or something. I got the first two episodes of season 1 when I bought banshee (which I also love) and it was stuck to the back, the disk sat around for a while at my house until I decided to give it a try. The first episode got me hooked right away. I did not expect to like it because of it being an action shooter terrorist military type themed show. But The way its done is amazing. again it reminds me of a really good shooter video game. there is humor here and there and its well written. I bought season 1 and two on dvd after watching the first two episodes. I have missed most of season 3 so far that's still airing on tv sadly, but I am very extremely happy to hear that there is going to be a prequel, strike back origins premiering October 25th or something 2013. that should be interesting. I hope to be able to catch up on season 3, and I hope even more it will be available to buy very soon along with the prequel. I hope it gets a season 4!

This is my absolute favorite anime series I have ever seen. This is the series that got me interested in anime and started my slight "obsession". I own all the singles of the dvds and still plan to buy this set. The sereies it's self is so well done. It's very well planned with the main story and then two or three side stories that are still wonderful to see. This is not a light hearted story, it has a dark shadow over it most of the time, but it just hightens the intensity.

The story circles around four wolves, Hige, Toboe, Tsume, and the kinda "leader" of them, the one that starts the hunt for paradise, Kiba. They are all looking for a way to the fabled paradise and to open it for the wolves, while a noble named Darcia wants to open it for the nobles. They are all frantically trying to get their hands on the flower maiden named Cheza who is the key to opening paradise. The story follows them as they cross the dying earth to open the doors to a better tomorrow. They have very strong unique personalities that make you fall in love with each of them by the end. There are several other characters that pop up often, and they have their own troubles and stories, and help break some of the tension of the story along the way as well.

The voices for all the characters are wonderful (including the voice of Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop as Darcia) and only bring the stories more to life. The graphics are very like Cowboy Bebop and the slight fade to the colors really works for the story. And who can ever complain about music done by the great Yoko Kanno. I wanted to cry when I heard the end song the first time because they're just so moving. I have both the soundtracks and I love every one of the tracks.

This has definetely become one of the classics and I would HIGHLY recommend this series to everyone.

This has to be the best comic book based tv show to come out ever.

I bought the dvd version of this elsewhere too, but it is so visually stunning in content that it can only be enhanced by the quality of the technology on which it is presented.

It is basically an action adventure series but being set in current areas of conflict we sometimes get a feel of what that is like for the real people involved in that work, even if the stories presented take the same kind of liberties with reality that a purely fantasy action adventure takes.  We know the hero won't be killed, at least until the last episode for instance, can do amazing things when injured etc, but the reality context nevertheless creates a bit of extra oomph I find.

I loved it as action adventure, and it has stories at several levels.  An episode mission, an overarching series line which was very good, buddy stories within each episode.  Each aspect includes its own tensions and really gripping tension a lot of the time.

Good value entertainment for me with a very good cast.

Since I've already reviewed each individual volume of this series, this review won't go too in depth into the storyline. For a broader more deep review I suggest looking at those reviews.
Anyway this series by far has it all; drama, comedy, action, sci-fi and believe it or not its kinda like a soap opera only more grown up and fun. Now to say I didn't notice the fan service would be a lie. This series has a lot. Sadly the cover of this complete collection really only shows that aspect. Fan service there may be, but fan service this series is not about. This series has a ton of heart with great characters, cool mecha and a storyline that will surprise you at how engrossing it becomes. The animation is top notch and the voice acting is superb. Honestly I think the English voice acting is better and allows you to fully take in the awesome visuals. Ladies, don't think this is just a guys series because of the voluptuous women and the giant robots. The guys aren't bad looking either and it may be shown far less than the women but the fan service is there for you too. Also these are some of the toughest smartest chicks Ive seen in anime, not just pretty faces with amazing bodies. My wife who hates mecha, I repeat HATES mecha, loves this show for the all the things Ive mentioned above.
This collection has both seasons in it for a total of 26 episodes and for $70 retail, and Ive seen it for cheaper at around $55 dollars in stores and at the time of this review about $35 here on Amazon, you are getting an amazing buy. Of course being a thinpack this collection has been stripped of the awesome and numerous extras from the individual volumes, but for half the price of retail and in most places cheaper than that, this is a steal!

I'll make this short and sweet.  If your not watching Nikita on The CW, you are seriously missing out.  It's easily one of the best action serial dramas on TV right now.  With two beautiful lead actresses (Maggie Q and Lyndsy Fonseca) along with a cool leading man (Shane West), the show definitely has characters you want to root for.  In addition, the show also has 2 extremely compelling villains in Percy (Xander Berkley) and Amanda, played by the beautiful and sexy Melinda Clarke.  Awesome action sequences, martial arts fight chereography...what more can you ask for?  If you haven't seen the show, I highly recommend purchasing this DVD or Blu-Ray, especially if you were a fan of the FOX series 24.  I think this show makes up for 24's absence.

This 6-disk-in-tin-box Blu-Ray edition of possibly the greatest TV drama series ever made is the one to go for. Five disks each contain two episodes of the series and the sixth disk of extras includes extended personal interviews with surviving members of Easy Company to give the viewer the opportunity to appreciate how character-defining and life-changing were the experiences these guys went through in WW2, and how superb was Spielberg's and Hanks' casting for the series in managing to get the actors exactly right. Some even look like the real men they portray (Frank John Hughes looks so like the real Bill Guarnere it's actually spooky, and all surviving members of Easy attest to the fact that British actor Damian Lewis's portrayal of Dick Winters captures the understated integrity, intelligence and leadership qualities of their real-life CO to perfection).

There's little to say about this epic, landmark drama series that hasn't already been said. It's essentially a true story based on the real-life recollections of surviving members of Easy Company through their paratrooper-training in Georgia through 1942, to their deployment to England in 1943 in preparation for finally jumping into action with the 101st Airborne on the night of 5-6 June 1944 as part of the first wave of the allied invasion of Normandy, through their subsequent actions in France, Holland (Market Garden), holding Bastogne against the Waffen SS during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, to finally confronting the horrors of a Nazi death camp in Germany and occupying Hitler's Eagle's Nest retreat in the Alps in May 1945. The drama is gripping, the action sequences utterly realistic and viscerally real, the character portraits complex, the dialogue rich, clich-free and tinged with irony and humor. Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and the entire Dreamworks production company excelled in every way with this series and produced a kind of masterpiece which it is difficult to imagine might ever be equalled. The seriousness of the subject matter is treated with respect, and every aspect of the writing, casting, direction (each episode has a different director but you'd hardly notice, so seamless is the production and the continuity) and editing is flawless.

The Blu-Ray edition looks and sounds superb, and brings an even sharper realism to the original TV series. It's very nicely presented with the quality befitting this superlative piece of work. Since Spielberg proved with "Schindler's List" in 1993 that he could make grown-up films for a grown-up audience he has evolved into a serious, mature and intelligent film-maker of the highest calibre, and BOB may prove to be his crowning achievement in a lifetime of first-class work (though "Pacific" might run a very close second).

BOB is not just first-class, genre-defining TV drama: it's also a fitting, respectful testimony to a generation not just of Americans but of all allied citizen-soldiers who fought and eventually won the greatest war in human history against a ruthless and totalitarian enemy who needed to be defeated: the most obvious and probably the only acknowledged "just" war of the past century, undiminished from the perspective of our more fortunate but generally less principled times where current issues of good and evil are far more opaque.

Respect, Easy Company. Spielberg's epic may cause your names to live forever, as they should.

PS 11 January 2011: just heard the news today that the real Dick Winters died on 2 January, aged 91. RIP.
