4.0 out of 5 stars Turn-Down Service You Won't Turn Down, March 11, 2009

By	Paige Turner (DCA, CDG, LAX, BER) - See all my reviews

Four-stars go to a show that's original, has an irreplaceable cast, is fun, sharp, and tender, beautiful to see, and something I'm buying so I can see it again. [Definitely not to a so-called "guilty pleasure," like soap operas Dallas or 90210.]
That said, if you liked "Las Vegas," this is its glitzy hotel Mirage as an exclusive, boutique hotel with a chic clientele and tony service. Yet the staff are working class people, with enough street smarts to give posh service for better-paying jobs. Having that mix of the tosh and the toff gives the fantasy its zest and the drama its heart as they step carefully between ambition and temptation.
You will quickly find yourself liking all the characters, and often even the guests. Get your reservation in now.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Season in a Terrible Package, November 6, 2009

I agree that Season 3 is not as strong as 1 and 2 - due to characters' departures (Rebecca and then Jackie as well as Charlie).

On the technical side though, the DVD Case design is simply a terrible mistake, and I see major quality issues on top of that. First of all, it will take you about half an hour of struggle to remove all 3 discs from their hubs and if you have not broken a disc or sustained injury yourself in the process, you should consider yourself lucky.

Here is my history with Season 3 so far:

- First order: Discs 1 and 2 OK, Disc 3 cracked at the inner edge - most likely due to the hub design.
- Replacement: Disc 2 shows funny air bubbles in the inner section, Disc 3 quite severely scratched.

I may need to have them replaced again, depending on whether Disc 3 plays OK despite the scratches.

Conclusion: BBC should pick a different vendor for their DVD cases. The current one should focus on making shotgun holders for police cars that they seem to be good at, considering the robustness of their DVD case hubs. On top of that make sure the factory does not allow shipping discs that appear to have been dropped on the floor.

On a different note, I would be happy to purchase Seasons 2 and 3 on Blu-Ray. I own the 1st one on Blu-Ray and the picture quality difference definitely makes it worth buying.
