I happened to tune in the history channel a while back and got interested in this. I watched this dvd and am so pleased I bought it. When I got to sloth I decided to get up off my back side and do something productive. I would encourage everyone to get this and watch it all, whether one episode at a time or all at once.

I'm a bit of a historian myself, however, in the East Asian Civilizations but I have always been fascinated by the 7 Deadly Sins where they come from and where they take us. However, this format of history telling is a bit too accessible for me. It seems like they feel their audience is bunch of ADD teenagers that'll switch the channel unless they are shocked with another FUN FACT of history. I personally would have preferred it straight up without all the bells and whistles. I liked all the interviews from everyone from Jewish Temples to Mosques and Churches. From Catholic Priests to Faith-Healers and Imams. However, in the end, the focus of the program seems to be more what people thing of the sins now than where they came from. The narrator sounds like that guy Don Fontaine who used to do all those Action movie Trailers making the whole production feel rushed trying (as mentioned above) trying to keep the attention of a very ADD audience.
However, as another reviewer mentioned, [...] for nearly 7 TV hours of history is a bit of a bargain so 3 stars from me.

I saw this on the history channel and became addicted! some are funny but the explanations and sceniros are great! the pop up book they do for each sin is really kool! they go in to detail and explain each sin from the history of it right down to the punishment you recive in hell for commiting it in detail. i would recomend this sinful DVD to anyone who has a pride of history collection or just greedy for more then they can chew for history. Getting this DVD i can assure you u will not feel wrath and anger for the price as it worth every cent,watching this will make u lust for more history channel DVD's. SO don't be lazy and slothful and get this DVD today! You wont regret getting this history on the 7 sins alot of due everyday!
