922927
The third season of Hawaii Five-O picks right up from season 2 and brings you 24 great episodes of exciting cop drama.
This show had so much going for it: great locale, exciting stories, good scripts and acting.
Jack Lord stands out as the swaggering McGarret.
The quality of this set is first-rate: great video transfer and audio/video quality.
Bonus features include the pre-episode promos for most of the episodes.
This is a "must have" for any fan of 70's TV or crime drama.

Based on the novels by Val McDermid, Wire in the Blood is a gritty, rivetting, suspenseful psychological crime drama; it is also, without a doubt, one of the best series of that genre around.  Robson Green (Touching Evil, Reckless, Me & Mrs. Jones, The Student Prince, The Gambling Man, Grafters, Soldier Soldier) stars as Dr. Tony Hill, a clinical psychologist who moonlights as a criminal profiler for the police.  Tony is brilliant in his ability to gain insights into the criminal mind, but his brilliance comes at a cost, compensated as it is by an equal degree of social ineptitude.  Like an absent-minded professor, Tony has a mind so focused that he easily becomes oblivious to his surroundings and to those around him.  It doesn't help matters that he talks to himself or that he finds it helpful to physically act out various aspects of the crime in question--things that are best NOT done in a public place!  Though the storylines are very serious--even chilling--the very nature of Tony's character provides the occasional welcome moment of lightness and humour.  Those familiar with Robson Green will know that this is the type of character at which he excels--characters which are, at the very least, just a little bit odd.

Tony's connection with the police is via Detective Chief Inspector Carol Jordan (Hermione Norris--Cold Feet's Karen Marsden), a shrewd, hard-working cop, who is well aware of Tony's brilliant mind and of his value to the police.  There exists almost from the start--and always beneath the surface--a mutual attraction between Tony and Carol, and it is here that Tony most poignantly feels his lack of social skills.

There are, at the time of writing, two sets on dvd (with set three due for release in February 2006).  Set one contains three episodes (each presented as two back-to-back 50 minute episodes); set two contains four 100-minute episodes.  DVD extras on set one are limited to brief text-based bios, but set two consists of interesting and informative interviews with Robson Green, Hermion Norris, author Val McDermid, and the production team.

Though this is a series, each episode is movie length, and I would challenge anyone to find a Hollywood crime drama as good as any one of the episodes in this outstanding series.  If you enjoy top quality, impeccably-acted, gritty, dark, intelligent psychological crime drama which draws the viewer right in--shows like BBC's Waking the Dead, for example--you will definitely enjoy this series, and I recommend both sets without hesitation.  I enjoyed the series so much that I bought McDermid's latest Tony Hill novel, The Torment of Others (2004), which I also thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.  Personally, I can't wait for the release of set three, and I hope Koch Vision continues to release future sets as they become available!

Very highly recommended!

Britain's finest team of long con artists are back for another oh-too-brief season of grifting.  The second season is even better than the excellent first season.  Highlights include: a cop strong-arms Eddie the bartender into spying on the team; Stacy's ex-husband makes a reappearence; and the team decides to heist the Crown Jewels.  This show keeps you on your toes: the dialogue is fast and witty, the cons are entertaining and clever, and things are rarely as they seem to be.  The free-wheeling scripts often break down the fourth wall to address the TV viewer directly to great effect.  I look forward to Season 3.

Terrific season. Once again the writers, actors and everybody involved have done a wonderful job of being able to enthrall the audience.

As others have mentioned, this is the best season of Magnum, P.I., and the DVD's do not disappoint.  The Genesis songs "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" and "Mama" are indeed featured in their respective episodes ("Laura" and "Death and Taxes"), and the poignant John Denver song from the excellent season finale is also intact, no music replacement in sight.  Plus the "Murder, She Wrote" cross-over episode is featured as well.
With great guest stars including Dana Delaney and Frank Sinatra, great stories, laughs, action and lots of drama, any fan of Magnum or detective dramas in general will enjoy this set.

This season was really great, the cast chemistry and strong storylines kept my interest. My favorite storylines were:

*Joan falling for Ellis' agent Brock - the chemistry between Tracee & Malik Yoba was/is off the hook.  The instant attraction between the two characters is magical or "enchanted" and believable whereas I NEVER got the Joan/Ellis pairing;

*Toni & Todd's marital woes as they struggle to get to know one another;

*Maya adjusting to the single life and

*Joan's career detour

I also have to give a shout out to the supporting cast members:  Lamont Johnson (Maya's cousin, Ronnie) - he is hilariously OTT; Shawn Harrison (Peaches) - although OTT in his portrayal as a flamboyant gay man, he made me LOL when he worked as Joan's assistant; Phil Reeves (Mr Swedelson)- so inappropriately oblivious in his comments; Ann Marie Johnson (Sharon Upton Farley) - so perfectly cast as the uptight new senior partner and finally the incredible Jenifer Lewis (Verreta Childs, Toni's mom) - always sassy she doesn't bite her tongue for anyone.

The only negative comment I have about the set is the lack of extras which were abundant in previous dvd seasons.

Another very strong season with excellent stories, more personal information about the characters and a real cliffhanger ending.
As expected, season 10 wraps up nine's ongoing story and starts a new ongoing story for season 11.
Harper Dearing meets his match as Gibbs closes that story line.
Individual episodes show us DiNozzo's apartment and introduce "The Admiral".  Both of these build the characters making them real people.
Another important building episode is "Hit and Run" providing a glimpse into Abby's childhood.
"Devil's Trifecta" is just fun as Fornell, Gibbs and their ex-wife "work together" in a personal story that touches all of them.
"Shell Shock" is a two-part story is well written and "right-on the money' looking at this problem and internal terrorists.
I do not want to do a spoiler and will not go into the on-going story for this season.  This is possibly the best of these stories.  This one is complex nuanced and devastating for the NCIS characters.  The acting is excellent fully showing the emotional impact of the events.  Colin Hanks brings an extra level of underhandedness to this as he pushes the NCIS team to the brink of destruction.

Alright everyone, this is my first review for the site, so be gentle with me haha.
Season 6 is a long awaited dvd (at least in my books) that while it has rocky moments, scenes like the Gangs long rumored Lethal Weapon 5 really redeem the seasons slower points, and the Extras really shines through when it comes to commentary, deleted scenes and a blooper reel. Alot of you that watched it on TV may be quick to point out that the Gang seems to be much less aggressive this time around, but i guarantee you that they one again start kicking each other when their down at full steam about halfway through the season. BIG PLUS FOR THIS SEASON: This season has more fan service than in any show ive seen in recent memory. Im talking about bringing up old running jokes (Macs baseball star obsession, Cricket, Carmen the Tranny, & MORE!) and finally brings them to fruition, which, especially in the final two episodes of the season, Cement this as an addition to any hardcore Sunny fan, but is more or less going to be hit or miss with consumers or the uninitiated.

Pros: Great Humor, Fan Service, Lethal Weapon 5 Directors cut & commentary

Cons: Too slow and "Nice" compared to earlier seasons, Much humor is lost on old references and jokes that many people won't catch.

Dalziel & Pascoe Season Five is an excellent Detective series .  This set has two discs with four gripping epesodes : A Sweeter Lazarus , Cunning Old Fox , Foreign Bodies , and Above The Law .  This season begins some time after season fours' ending where DCI Andy Dalziel returns to work after being severely injured at the end of that last season.  No sooner that he returns to work then he and his partner DC Peter Pascoe are thrust again into a series of violent and disturbingly mysterious crimes of passion , deception ,drugs , sex as well as the brutal shooting of a well known judge right in the middle of a very high profile drug trial.  This series has everything , mystery , suspense , murder , even some surprises you might not see coming until the end .  Dalziel & Pascoe is great tv right up there with Midsommer Murders , Inspector Lewis , Wallander and others.  The BBC at it's best!

The boys are back!  And, more human than ever.

Lewis is softer, as he "takes a break from retirement."  Hathaway is complex as ever, with an obvious internal storm which we will never know.  But in this series, unlike the others, they are now personal friends above all else.  Can you imagine Hathaway saying "Robbie?"  Well, he does.  :)

This season, there is also a great crowd of wonderful women:  Innocent is a bit softer too, and Laura is now a significant other, rather than an unspoken flirtation at work.  She is really beautiful and warm.  And, there is the new sergeant!  I forget her name, (she is such a new character,) but she is Hathaway's second in command.  Well portrayed and a pleasure to watch.

The cast of featured characters in the mysteries is stellar as always, and completely takes the audience into the rabbit hole.  That, the writing, the music, the cinematography, and the overall sense of perfection of this series which has kept this series at such a high level of excellence, continues in season 7.  This season offers, as a bonus, an air of sentimental payoff for its long-term fans.

Enjoy!

Every season of NYPD Blue has been excellent! The stalwart of the cast is Sipowicz (Dennis Franz) because he is such a strong character, enduring personal and professional problems that he has to deal with. The rest of the regular cast and the actors who appear in supporting roles are all outstanding actors. The thing that sets this apart from other "cop" shows is that they are more focused on the crime  and NYPD Blue is more focused on character study. Outstanding!

If you don't want angst in your cop show, this isn't for you.

If you don't want to join in the parade of emotions, don't start watching this series.

If you want the only crimes committed to be those perpetrated by criminals, don't bother with this.

If you don't want dark, brilliant, hyper-real storytelling, you'll probably want to go elsewhere.

When you're in the mood for all of this and more, step right up because this 100% binge-worthy production is all for you.
The writing, acting, atmosphere, surprises, musical score, everything is high quality.

You will want to watch the seasons in order. Most of the storylines carry over from one episode to another. I don't think any of them qualify as stand-alone.

Based on the fact that this season had its original airing in summer 2016, looks like we'll be waiting awhile for season four, which has been ordered.

I'm ready. #holycliffhangerbatman

I am so late with finishing this show in it's entirety, but this season was really good.
Wasn't the best, but it definitely kept up the momentum of the series.  The youth were very good at acting and bringing to light the issues that are occuring not just in Baltimore but in general the things that occur, and despite this being an older show, it's still prevelant in today's society.

I am bias, because I truly love this series, but it's definitely something that is needed to purchase if you're a huge fan of The Wire

I am a committed fan of NYPD Blue.  It's such a pleasure to have ALL 12 SEASONS available on Amazon Video!  For years, the last six seasons were unavailable, and now the entirety is there for our viewing pleasure!  This is a groundbreaking series, realistic and tough, yet one never hears the F word, which is so prevalent in today's procedurals.  The acting and writing are impeccable; the evocation of the harsher side of NYC is Dickensian.  And Dennis Franz is unforgettable in his role as Detective Andy Sicpowicz -- a man stuffed with angers and fears, all just waiting to explode.

We are thoroughly enjoying this show.  It's new and different for a cop show.  The lead actors are well matched and believeable.  Show centers around a new division of the police force.  Where four officer's/detectives (one is a psychologist) who all deal with cases involving  mental suspects or victims.  Check it out.  I highly recommend it.
