Best cop show ever produced...just one little annoyance

"I waited with baited breath for this to come out.I never missed an episode first run and to find a program that me AND the wife liked was a rarety in itself!
I'm almost all the way through this set now and the ONLY problem i have with this is that...well...its 2006 and technology certainly exists to have included captions for the hearing impaired.I'm deaf in one ear and have to turn the volume WAY up or I won't really catch everything.So...i watch in the daytime when i got the house to myself.It never occurred to me to even check,i assumed that darn near all DVD's released in the great new millenium would have that.
oh well...live and learn.
That having been said...(whinewhinewhine)...the complexities of the characters on this show are so brilliantly written AND acted that viewing this set should be mandatory!"
Seven seasons for less than the price of two...

"Sweet baby Jesus! 35 DVDs, 122 episodes, plenty of juicy bonus features... it's all seven seasons of Homicide for less than the price of two, all packaged in a super-cool faux filing cabinet. This is one of the most critically acclaimed TV series of all time, and for plenty of good reasons. Warning: You will never want to watch another episode of CSI again. (You can thank me later...)"
OUTSTANDING

"One of the most important and ground breaking police dramas ever to apear on network television, this set is a MUST! The packaging is ingenious, the extras provide a lot of insight into the making of the show and it's struggle to remain on the air for 7 seasons, something of a miracle, given that the producers stuck to their guns and refused to dumb down the fast paced, quick talking formula that had many ongoing cases and plots carry over for multiple episodes (something that can be offputting to mass audiences and perhaps prevented the show from becoming a monster hit ratings-wise).
Throughly recommended, this boxset will disappoint neither old time fans or newcomers who appreciate intelligent drama."
Best cop show ever

"The fact that all of these are collected together results in one of the greatest box sets of one of the greatest police dramas ever. The packaging is wonderful. The extra disc with the Law and Order crossovers and the finale movie makes me happy. Well worth the price tag."
