The Best Series Ever - Not The Best Buy, April 28, 2003
This review is from: The Sopranos - The Complete First, Second, and Third Seasons (DVD)
Usually if one buys by the bulk, one gets a preferrential rate - sort of a retailer's discount. This dvd set successfully breaks the norm. One can pick up the the three seasons separately for [price] from Amazon.com. Better still, pick up the first two seasons together and buy the third one separate, and it will cost less (this is a special price offered by Amazon, to purchase at this price, go to the product description page for 'the Sopranos - the complete first and second seasons' and select the great buy link on the page). As for the series, there is but one thing to say - buy it!! You will not regret the purchase.

The best TV has to offer!!, April 28, 2003
This review is from: The Sopranos - The Complete First, Second, and Third Seasons (DVD)
The Sopranos is by far the most developed and cinematic show ever to be seen on television. The characters are incredibly in-depth and the plot is beyond that of any TV show and majority of movies. The world of the mobster is highly intriguing. The most fascinating aspect of it is that we can all still relate to many areas of that world. And, we can easily relate to the family life of Tony Soprano. The Sopranos is a masterpiece, and the chance to pick up these timeless works of art on DVD should not be passed by.

A Television Work of Art, February 7, 2004
This review is from: The Sopranos - The Complete First, Second, and Third Seasons (DVD)
I originally bought the 1st Season DVD set of the Sopranos as a Xmas gift for my Stepfather, but never had seen the show myself. When my parents got through the whole season in a week, I figured I'd check it out and rent it off Netflix. Within 2 weeks, I had bought all 4 seasons! It is completely engrossing and is probably one of the top 5 works of entertainment I've ever seen. It's a bit violent and risque, but the storylines, acting, and especially the production, are so good that the liberal language and nudity is almost secondary (but it's definitely for the over 16 crowd). The casting is brilliant, and the DVD sets themselves are attractive and well-presented, though a little light on special features. I am actually considering getting HBO just to be able to see the 5th season, which starts in March 2004. The New York Times has hailed the Sopranos as the greatest achievement in American pop culture in the last quarter-century, so if you haven't seen it yet, you owe it to yourself to check it out. Don't put off the show thinking it's another mob/crime drama. This truly lives up to the hype. It's extremely rich entertainment.
