5.0 out of 5 stars Smartest comedy I've seen in a long time, March 16, 2004

Miss Jane "book girl" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sex and the City - The Complete First Five Seasons (5-pack) (DVD)

I should start by confessing that I came to watch SATC very late in the game - not until the start of the 6th Season. After watching the final episode, the decision to buy the complete season DVDs was a no-brainer, and I have not been disappointed. The writing on this show is some of the smartest I've encountered in a long time. It has been interesting and highly entertaining to watch these characters evolve. (The 5th Season may be short, but the writing quality never wavers.) I'll watch one episode thinking I that can really relate to Charlotte, only to relate to Miranda, Carrie or (heaven forbid!) Samantha in the next. And it really isn't just about sex - or the city - but ultimately about the joy and heartbreak in all of life, such as the loss of a parent or dealing with an unexpected pregnancy.

Of course, most of the funniest bits deal with the search for "the one" - something everyone can relate to. I think the decision to end after 6 seasons - and on a positive note for all characters - was a smart one. It may have taken Big six seasons to realize Carrie was "the one" but the journey made the result more worthwhile. (Here again, I must confess that prior to seeing the earlier seasons, I was not entirely convinced that Carrie and Big should live happily ever after. Mr. Big now gets my full endorsement!)

I highly recommend this boxed set (instead of the watered down syndication version being contemplated on other cable channels), and have already pre-ordred Season Six, Part One. Those concerned with what they perceive to HBO price gouging should consider that an individual season on DVD still costs less than one month of cable service... And if, like me, the only reason you're watching HBO is SATC (and maybe The Sopranos) perhaps it's better just to cancel HBO and get the DVDs instead!

5.0 out of 5 stars The only DVD set you'll ever need!, July 16, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Sex and the City - The Complete First Five Seasons (5-pack) (DVD)

This DVD set was one of the best investments i've made. I've watched all 5 seasons at least 4 times already and will continue to watch them for years to come. If you're a Sex and the City fan you've got to get the set.
