5.0 out of 5 stars Glad to have found this, February 20, 2007

This review is from: Crime Story - Season Two (DVD)

When "Crime Story" starring Dennis Farina and Anthony Dennison came out in 1986, I was instantly hooked, and could not wait until the next episode. Once the show ended, I was disappointed and caught re-runs when I could.

Now, after searching for hard to find and expensive VHS sets, I opted instead for the DVD sets which have both seasons. This show was, IMO definitely a precursor to "The Sopranos" and other great crime shows and Dramas that have since won legions of followers. If you were/are an ardent fan of the series or any other crime/mobster films, these DVD sets are a must have for your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crime Story Rocks!, March 9, 2006

This review is from: Crime Story - Season Two (DVD)

The season two DVDs are great. The upgraded video quality captures every nuance of the fantastic lighting and set design of Crime Story. The ability to pause the DVD and capture the various expressions and body language of the rat with an artist's soul, Frank Holman, is worth every penny.

If you've never heard of Crime Story, buy season one and two and you will be hooked!

3.0 out of 5 stars Glad to see it on DVD but a Disappointing Transfer, April 24, 2006

This review is from: Crime Story - Season Two (DVD)

I had read a few reviews here regarding the DVD versions of Crime Story, including some that commented on the poor visual quality of these transfers, but still purchased these anyway for the content, hoping those reviewers were real nitpickers. Sadly, I have to agree. While not dark and muddy as one reviewer described, they are strangely flat, lacking the contrast and brilliance one expects on a DVD. In addition, there is an annoying pattern to the image, much like if it were being viewed through a very sheer cloth, or projected onto a cloth screen. Not graininess, but definitely a faint weave-like pattern. The sound is also a bit muddy. The content is still why I bought these, but the quality is definitely not anywhere near what you'd expect. In fact, the first two seasons of Superman from the 1950's put the quality of these DVD transfers to shame. I haven't run across the song substitutions yet that have been mentioned, and my memory might not be good enough to notice those. The Del Shannon rework of Runaway is still intact at the start of each episode.
