2.0 out of 5 stars Missing episode??, November 20, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Instant Star Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
I bought and downloaded this season. As I was watching each episode I realized an episode was missing. I watched this show on tv when it originally came out and new what episode should be next, it was absent. I found a list of the episodes and it is number 5 that is not there. I feel a little ripped off. The series was pretty in expensive and that was nice, but it would be nice if amazon made sure the complete series is there.
