.The Wire: The Complete Fifth Season
City Travel Guides > DVD > DVD
from: HBO Home Video

August 12, 2008
If you've gotten this far, there's really no need to read any review. All I can say is the DVD extras are nothing to write home about compared with Season 4's. The focus on the Baltimore Sun newspaper and the decline of the influence of daily papers is good but not great. As an editor, I enjoyed the process, but again when The Wire goes off into "white people land," I often find it less interesting.

Yes, this is a sort of reverse racist way of looking at the series but I just find the black characters far more interesting and better actors. The lying reporter I find just as wimpy as Carcetti was in Season Three.

I enjoyed how the series wrapped up but wanted to see more of the kids (even though we get a clear idea ... Read More:

Season 3 was an excellent mix of drama, humor and suspense which was a great improvement from the predictable scripts from season 2. All characters were fully developed which made the season finale make sense. In terms of entertainment, I found Laurie's character - Dr. Greg House - wildly enigmatic and it is the draw that keeps me coming back for more!

.Bones: Season 2

This dvd hasn't been released yet, so why would anybody review it? More to the point, why am I reviewing it right now? Well, just to tell you that you should buy it, as I'm going to.

I saw every episode of this second season of "Bones" up to this point, and I'm happy to say that it is even better than the first. From my point of view, this great tv series combines originality, interesting whodunnits and characters that make you laugh, and sometimes even think more than usual. It is entertainment, but good entertainment, the kind you can recommend to others, exactly what I'm doing right now :)

You haven't watched the first season of "Bones", and are reading my review just by chance? Well, take advantage of this opportunity ... Read More:

This may be the funniest show in years. Sarcasm, cynicism, double entendres, snide comments and egotism. If you cannot see part of your character in each of the four male characters then get a friend to point them out to you. If you can't recognize some of your friends characters in them look harder.

This show gives us the best chance to laugh at our own foibles we have gotten in years.

.The X-Files: Season 3
City Travel Guides > DVD > DVD
from: Fox

January 31, 2006
This multi-award-winning season surpassed fans' expectations with its wit, charm and memorable enigmatic performances. It is simply the best season of the X-Files, with its flow and style in top form. Each episode stands alone as a marvel of storytelling not to be forgotten. Mulder gets closer to the truth of his sister, of aliens and of the secrets of the Shadow Government. Scully meanwhile faces questions of her faith, and where it contradicts with her work as a scientist and an FBI agent. "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'" is perhaps the best X-Files story ever written and executed. It plays with the show's paranoia, confusion, lies and conflicting perspectives on the truth and its value. It's as gripping as it is funny, and leaves you with a deep ... Read More:

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Complete First Season

This was one of, if not THE best new series of last season. Despite the writer's strike shortening this series' first season down to only nine episodes, it was action packed! Forget the few negative reviews out there saying that it ignores T3, because that's a good thing. This is supposed to take place after T2, therefore T3 does not exist in this story line. The writing is clever and sticks to the Terminator canon. If you liked T1 and T2 and are willing to accept that this series uses them as its basis and goes in a slightly different direction, you'll love this series. If you're not willing to accept that and enjoy the deeper character development, then don't watch this. ... Read More:
