DVD Review
Join a quirky team of misfit coroners willing to put their forensic skills to the test as all 23 Season One episodes of Crossing Jordan, including the memorable pilot, arrive on a 5-disc DVD set for the first time ever! Smart, conflicted and unconventional, Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh (Jill Hennessy) is a forensic pathologist whose obsession for solving homicides goes beyond the autopsy table. But the driving force behind her hard-core, unorthodox investigative style is the one crime she hasn't been able to solve?her mother's murder. Relive some of your favorite Crossing Jordan moments from this first season, including her battles with her boss, Dr. Macy (memorably played by Miguel Ferrer), the first appearance of Detective Woody Hoyt, music by Wendy and Lisa, amazing special effects, and Jordan and her police detective father putting themselves in the roles of victim and killer. From the creator of Heroes comes the fast-paced and funny mystery series that critics rave "is marked by crisp, clever dialogue, and a brassy lead performance" (Steve Johnson, Chicago Tribune).

Great DVD - Rating: 5/5
My wife and I are big fans of Crossing Jordan. She had missed some of the episodes the first season, and she loved being able to fill in the blanks of the story she already knew. This set is a great look back at the origins of the characters we had grown to love in the show.
very engaging show - Rating: 5/5
featuring the drop-dead beautiful Jill Hennessy, this series (and the central characters) keeps me engaged episode after episode.
As a medical examiner Jill's character determines cause of death- but she goes the extra mile in the difficult cases to actually solve the crimes (which creates friction with the police department).
At times funny, dramatic, and sad, with some family drama underneath..you are sure to enjoy this series.
Highly Recommended.
Crossing Jordan equals fabulous!!! - Rating: 5/5
Crossing Jordan was, and stil is an amazing show. But the thing that made the show really stand out for me was that all the ators were absolutely amazing!!! I also love the fact that all of the actors weren"t drop-dead gorgeous. This fact made the show more relatable to the audience.
My favorite characters are Steve Valentine's "Nigel" and Ravi Kapoor's "Bug". The reason I enjoy them is because they're both so quirky, and different.
Another thing I liked was the fact that each actor was give their chance to shine in a particular episode. Miguel Farrer was mesmerizing as Dr. Garett Macy.
It also seemed like all the actors really cared about each other. it also seemed like they weren't trying to up-stage one another, they felt like a cohesive group. and that's what made the show a hit.
Bring on season 2...I can't wait!!!
p.s. i wanna see some bloopers on the next DVD.
