Alfred Hitchcock Presents… Season One
This box set includes 6 discs from the first Season, which aired in 1955. Watching every single episode in this box set will take up 16 hours of time. I remember Alfred Hitchcock presents from the remakes in the 80s. When I spotted this box set I decided to buy it as the 1950's originals held more appeal for me.
These episodes are classics and in my opinion better than the remakes. Each episode is introduced by Alfred Hitchcock, his introductions are funny and a good set up to the episode that is just about to be seen. He also appears at the end of each episode. I find this box set very addictive as well. I sit down to watch one episode and it seems to stay on for a lot longer.
Each episode lasts about half hour and the episodes are very different, it was a very original show. All episodes are short stories, most of them having twists to add to the mystery and suspense. There is not an episode I have watched yet which is anything like a previous one. Some episodes I have guessed the plot and how it will end but with many of them the plot is not predictable and leaves the viewer surprised at the end. This is classic television and I enjoy watching this in my spare time.
There are various actors in this season that you will recognise including Alfred Hitchcock's daughter. The acting is very good. The episodes are in black and white but I think this works better. It's a classic.
The box set does not contain any extras, just literally the 6 discs and the titles of the episode behind the front cover. Still, it's worth the money and definitely worth buying. Looking forward to Season Two being released soon.
