Advantages: CSI that began it all! A wonderful piece of TV drama in this genre
Disadvantages: You have to pay to get this set. Not a cheap option

"Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?......" From the moment the song begins to play, you're left in no doubt that CSI:Vegas has started. This is the original in the series of two other spin off shows (CSI:Miami and CSI:NY). The show focuses on the cases of the Crime Investigation Divison of the Las Vegas Police Department. They are commonly known as CSI's from the Las Vegas Crime Lab. The episodes often features scenes in which tests, autopsy's and ...
...often minimal dialogue. This does mean you do get quite a high content of graphic violence, images, and sexual content that has rarely been seen in other programs before. The first season has 23 episodes, including a two parter pilot which opens with an explosive plotline, whereby a CSI newly hired is shot. This then allows for the introduction of Sara Sidle, who became a series regular. There are another 23 episodes in the following 3 seasons, and ... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful packaging, amazing series, great acting and casting
Disadvantages: If you don't like war steer clear

Band of Brothers is a brilliantly filmed and written series. The story sees the main characters starting their training in boot camp and follows them (Easy Company) through the war. The main characters are all very well acted. Damien Lewis plays his character especially well and deserves something for doing so. David Schwimmer (of Friends fame) plays his role very well indeed and is a great character for the brief time he appears. The series is stylistically ...
...from Spielberg's involvement. This is no crime though as the different stories, characters and action set this series apart from SPR and give World War 2 film fans something truly wonderful to watch. The drama is compelling and the episode in which they find the death camps is a rather sombre treat. Altogether a wonderful series without flaw. As for the packaging, the tin and the disc cases are all strikingly nice quality and are worth buying. If ... Read review

...nominated for 8 Academy Awards, Brokeback Mountain only won 3 Academy Awards. Jack and Ennis are based in a mountain range over the summer months, looking after sheep. Once the sun goes down, the heat goes, leaving them cold. One night, they start sharing a tent to keep warm, and that's when emotions start to form. Their boss finds out what's happening on Brokeback Mountain and orders the sheep down, effectively ending their relationship. But over ...
...mild porn. That said, Brokeback Mountain wasn't a film that is known for its realism - I mean, one spit and you're in? (think about it guys) I don't think so darling. The film was controversial not only because of the media's perception of this as a gay film, but by some people pointing out that the characters were actually bisexual rather than gay, as they were both married. It's a thought provoking film in that it makes you realise, whether you're ... Read review

Advantages: Very compelling
Disadvantages: It's on television all the time

I think this season is one of the best seasons of the show, I've watched it over and over again without getting bored yet. The Season1 box set of One Tree Hill contains 6 discs, with all 22 episodes. The special features are shared over the disks unequally. The story goes, 2 half brothers are forced together in a basketball team and through this complicated relationships are made and broken. This series sets up for the rest perfectly, and being ...
...re-watching this one, if anythiing it makes the new ones better. As it goes, it is one of the best teenage drama's around at the moment, but I'm not sure it has the same effect as shows like the OC which can be enjoyed by a broader range of people. ... Read review
