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.

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.

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.

How can it be that by buying seasons 1+2+3+4 separately you end up saving 100 bucks? Don't buy this package, do the math and SAVE!

Four great seasons of the ultimate gangster saga. The fifth and (final) sixth should firmly cement the legacy of this stalwart series.Season One is the best of the group, as it usually is with most stellar series. The best episodes: #9, #12 and #13. Season Two's finest moments are with the epitome of all evil, Richie Apriel, played with intense sinisterness by David Proval, and the David Lynch-esque finale.Season Three welcomes Ralphie C (Joe Pantaliano) and Season Four ushers him out in grand style (that will prove to be a defining moment in the shows history). Season Four also has some sensitive moments from Tony Soprano himself: His all night vigil with a sick horse (as Dean Martin sings "My Rifle, My Pony & Me"), his tolerance of Christopher's drug addiction (and the hilarious intervention that follows). Great series, great set. Watch them all.

This is one of the few shows worth my time. I absolutely love it. Its been consistent since day one. Im anxious to see how it all ends.

best show hbo has to date funny yet sad but also possibly very true. born and raised in north jersey around italians and hungarian polish russian it rings very true thank you hbo and please continue for another season.

what can i say. 1st off i want to thank u americans for making possibly the greatest tv show to ever hit the screen. i have been addicted to this masterpiece from day 1 and with the 5th series just finished over here. i cant wait to series 6 the final series supposedly. i have all series on dvd boxset and must of watched it over and over 3 times atleast. i wont bother yabbing on about what its about coz everyone knows. i just say that my best episodes are pine barrens series 3, the episode when pussy dies on series 2 and when ralph loses his head, literally series 4. i have to say series 5 was amazing. the episode when adriana was killed was possibly the best episode i ever seen. masterpiece.

Great story content, acting, directing, and writing. One of the best shows out there with a cinematic effect.

obviously Buy these Sets for each season as to buying all together.but the main thing is what is stronger&what isn't.the first two years this show was on Point.but season was pretty good while season four was so-so&this past year was better than last year but a step off from the Peak years of season 1&2.still David Chase gets dap for exploring so many situations with the show.next year season 6 is the last one&truth be told I feel they went one year to many on a hold.but the show is still a Good show&you never know what lays around the corner.only 10 episodes left of this Classic show.
