NYPD BLUE: SEASON 2 reviews??

David Coleman · 08-18-2003, 12:30 PM

Haven't seen anyone review this one yet? Can someone point me in the direction of a review??

Rob T · 08-18-2003, 01:20 PM

I can't seem to find any either.
Maybe FOX didn't send any out to the press.

Try this:

No mention of the video or audio though.

I would imagine it is the same as the First Season, which featured 4.0 sound.

But as the review does say, you buy this less for the perks, and more because it is one of the best TV shows out there. Can't wait until Season 3 is released.

While I agree the show was still good with Smits, the writing never reached the same level as Season 1. I prefered when they had an overall arc, like they did for the Licalsi/Mob murder line, but they never really did this again, or when they attempted it, it was a pale shadow of Season 1. Smits was good Caruso was better, he fit the overall nature of the show, it's still a damn shame his head got too big. I think about what the show could've become. (Of course it's possible we saw every card Caruso was holding and the character would've become tiring with his "You Ok" platitudes, I guess we'll never know)

I picked it up at Wal-mart just now. $56.83.
2 floaters. No scratches.

I'd go further than that, and say there's nothing in that review that makes me think that they've even seen the discs.

I'm not familiar with that reviewer, so I can't say for sure. I'd also point out that this is one of their 'Quick' reviews. On their full reviews, they normally do a much better job. Even then their main focus seems to be more on good knowledge of the film and less so on the technical aspects of the DVD. For that type of review, you'll have to look elsewhere. But they do have a good selection of reviews for the more artsy type films and less on the mainstream. So it's a fun site to check out.

Ya'll asked for a review and I provided one. It might not have all the details you're looking for (or me for that matter), but it's certainly better than all the other reviews I've seen so far (all zero of them).

There's nothing in that "review" that couldn't have been written by someone with a decent knowledge of the TV series, and a copy of the press release. There's no information about sound or picture quality, and nothing specific about any of the bonus materials.

I certainly didn't mean to criticise you for volunteering the link, Mark.

Here are links to two more detailed reviews:

As it's not my review, I couldn't care less what you think of it. I actually happen to agree with you in this case and I'm not the least bit offended by your comments.

I only responded because I know that site does have much better reviews usually (if you check under 'Full Reviews') and didn't want this crappy one scaring people away.

Thanks for the other reviews. I'll have to check them out.
