User Reviews
An epic release... to some - Rating: 5/5
The greatness of this show is up for debate. Some say it was all down hill after season 1, others say that it was revived in season 3. I say... while some of the choices made for the show are not ones I would make, I am happy that there are people on TV willing to try new things. With many shows being clones of clones (Detective shows, court shows etc...) this one is fairly original and gives me a break from the television monotony.
For those of you looking to buy the Blu-Ray edition here is what you have to look forward to:
