380 minutes of running time means these discs include only the original 9 episodes that already aired on television. Even these producers didn't have the kahonies to produce a conclusion to satisfy their diehard fans whom one would assume would gobble up this set at a chance to get some answers. If even they don't have faith in their own product, then I will keep my $20 (+shipping) and just watch the episodes I have recorded on my Apple TV. I'm really disappointed in NBC for canceling it in the first place, and in the show's producers for not producing a conclusion to include in the DVD. Shame on all of you!

I loved this show, but this DVD set is a real disappointment.

It was good seeing Christian Slater on-screen again. I looked forward to this show every week. There was a little suspense with each show as to when and under what situation that mild-mannered Henry would appear when hitman Edward would be in the middle of doing what he does. Definitely should still be on the air. Reminds me of when New York Undercover was taken off the air.

Some of us DO enjoy non-silly programming and prefer shows of substance. Can we start a petition to bring it back?

One of only a few decent shows by the network in YEARS and YEARS and it's cancelled. I don't get it. Great show, great acting, wierd premise but acted in a believable way. I don't usually like that wacko government is evil etc story lines but this was a great show!!!!!

I'll start by saying I didn't buy this, but I did watch every episode as they broadcast. Although the show was great, if you buy it, you'll be greatly disappointed to find, as many NBC series go, there was no ending to it. It is one that they left completely unanswered. Read the other reviews, it is very disappointing. I remember when they announced canceling this series after a whole 5 episodes, then went ahead and aired the ones they had already filmed.

I LOVE this series. I HATE the way the "suits" let this end. 5 stars for the series... ZERO stars for the "SUITS"! It was such a disappointment to see the episodes again and see the story heat up, only to be kicked in the teeth by corporate greed at the end... This isn't even a cliffhanger... this is just waking up in the middle of a dream and never knowing the whole story...

Yes, a great show canceled. I had hoped for new shows that were not aired or some conclusion or promises of a movie, but no. I will keep watching the 9 episodes that I recorded.

Well, I guess it's my fault this show was cancelled. Because I found it to be so daringly original and liked it so much.... Which nearly always seems to be the kiss of death for shows that have that impact on me, going back to Nowhere Man, Due South, Keene Eddie, and more recently The Black Donnellys.
I spose I'd be much happier if I could get into something less challenging, like Jerry Springer or those "reality" shows maybe.
But I just don't seem to have the right sensibilty.

Too bad, cuz in some ways it's a curse, really.

Hey, maybe if I offered my head up to be kicked by a horse.

This was a great show. They are very stupid for cancelling it. WAY better than heroes. I am so mad about this. Hopefully the DVD will sell so much they bring it back like family guy. BUY THIS

Great and FAR underrated Series that should NEVER have been canceled, NBC Executives are IDIOTS for dropping this Show. This was the BEST Spy Show on television EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christian Slater has had a knack through his career of landing in too many so-so movies. It is nice to see at this stage of his career he turns in one of his best performances. The supporting cast is good with Mike O'Malley being especially interesting. The budget seems to be decent.

Like the somewhat similar British series Jekyll the most interesting aspect of the series is the conflict between two apparently separate people inhabiting the same body. Edward, the Bond-like spy, is ruthless, and Henry, the family man, has never handled a gun. They do not seem to care much for each other but as they only have one body they find they must work together to stay alive. Everything was fine until Henry, previously unaware of Edward, discovers Edward's existance in the first episode. That they now switch back and forth at any moment is the tale.

The last episode appeared to be working its way to a conclusion, but in the final two minutes they throw a curve. The show is good, worth watching on its own, but it would be nice to see a second season.
