Nobody does period pieces like the British, and Foyle's War Seasons 1-5 DVD Boxset may be the best of them all. The setting of Hastings in Britain during WWII is the basis for important war related themes in addition to the whodunnits of each episode. Americans have no idea what wartime living was like compared to what the British experienced, andFoyle's War Seasons 1-5 brings it to incredible reality. Michael Kitchen (Detective Chief Supt Foyle,) Honeysuckle Weeks (Samantha Stewart,) and Anthony Howell (Sgt. Milner) are impossibly good in their roles. Other fine actors drop in and out of the series and are spot on, as they might say. The research done for Foyle's War series 1-5 seems to have left no stone unturned when it comes to themes, settings, costumes, you name it. The good news: there is a sixth series coming with the same main characters, but in the post-war period. Foyle's War 1-5 DVD Boxsetis that good. Brilliantly written, acted and executed, the strengths of this show are historical accuracy, attention to detail and meticulous scripts. Michael Kitchen can convey more in the twitch of his jaw than most actors can express in an entire soliloquy. He's truly amazing and I can't say enough about the performances of Anthony Howell and Honeysuckle Weeks. Add to that a parade of A-list British actors and you have Foyle's War 1-5that is well worth every penny you pay for this complete collection.

For a non-TV watcher I find myself watching a surprising lot of The Closer Seasons 1-5 DVD, on The Closer Seasons 1-5 DVD, lately. First 'Damages', great stuff, and now this The Closer Season 5 DVD Boxset. I am hesitant to give The Closer Seasons 1-5 DVD 5 stars, there are plenty of The Closer Season 5 DVD Boxset, and not all the jokes The Closer Season 5 DVD Boxset, and some of the cases are lame, and not all members of the team are real people... But overall, The Closer 5 DVD is good fun.

What carries the mixture of suspense and comedy is the central character, Kyra Sedgwick's drawling Georgian homicide investigator in LA, Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson. She is marvellous in her combination of chaos, sentimentality, dishonesty, and ruthless The Closer Seasons 1-5 DVD. I can see how one might also decide to find her unnerving, but I have not reached that stage, I am still enchanted. I don't mind that the whole thing doesn't really seem believable.

Most recommendable for rainy November evenings. Unless you are in Australia, then better watch The Closer Season 5 DVD in April or May.

Fantastic Sons of Anarchy seasons 1 2 dvd box set show and GREAT extras on the DVD! Always appreciate it when a DVD set includes extras. Includes deleted scenes, a gag reel, films about the Sons of Anarchy seasons dvd box set tattoos, the motorcycle customization, casting decisions narrative including the original audition tapes for all the cast. Also includes some audio commentaries. All in all, a great DVD set and that's not to mention Sons of Anarchy dvd itself. Charlie Hunnam steals every scene he is in. He is electrifying, vibrant and SO talented. You can't take your eyes off watching him every moment he is on the screen. Sons of Anarchy seasons dvd box set is fantastically written but even better is watching Hunnam interact, especially with his girlfriend--wow, their scenes are hot! Some Sons of Anarchy box set actors are just really interesting to watch, they can do more with a look or a word than others do with entire lines. Hunnam is one of these.
