5.0 out of 5 stars
Possibly the Best TV Series - Definitely the Worst Buy, February 4, 2004
This review is from: The Sopranos - The Complete First Four Seasons (DVD)
I am assuming, since you are reading this review, you are familiar about Sopranos. This writeup is not meant to be a critique of the series (the series is absolutely brilliant), rather the wierd pricing strategy associated with this particular set.
I really do not understand this! How can the same group of people who have created one of the most amazing TV series of our times, can get their pricing strategy so wrong? It is possible to buy the four seasons separately a lot cheaper from Amamzon.com. One is supposed to get a premium for buying by the bulk and not pay a premium. If you are a fan of the series (who isn't) and still have successfully resisted the temptation to purchase the series (miracles still happen) then I strongly recommend immediate purchase of the four seasons separately. Do not buy the four seasons together and end up paying extra dollars, rather purchase the seasons separately, save some money and buy Finding Nemo and Casablanca with the balance or go out to dinner with your family or any thing else. Just please do not drop your hard earned money down the drain.

5.0 out of 5 stars
TV"s best show, October 21, 2003
This review is from: The Sopranos - The Complete First Four Seasons (DVD)
I anxiously await my set of four seasons. It's the best-acted and written television show to come around in years. (Six Feet Under, a very close second)
Having these epsiodes is like watching a 13 hour movie (per season anyway). Compulsively watachable again and again.
many were dissapointed in season 4, I was not. The characters were dissected and received treatment via fine-toothed comb. The Carmella/Furio arc was great, Adrianna finally became a full-fledged character and the brewing Tony VS Ralphie tempest finally came to a head. Even Bobby stepped up from background player to important character. Very impressed. And the finale, breathtaking.
My only complaints, and they're minor, were Melfi had nothing to do and I found Johhny Sack irritating (which was the point, I guess) But again, I love how minor characters are beautifully written to be human. Just amazing writting on a show not so much about the mob as it is the human condition.
Yeah, I am a freak for this show. Sue me, and here's to the next two seasons.

Save 25 bucks......, February 13, 2004
This review is from: The Sopranos - The Complete First Four Seasons (DVD)
They FINALLY lowered the price on this set. It use to be you would save if you bought them seperate. As of June 2004 you can save about $25, so id definately reccomend this set. If you dont have HBO it is a must buy.
