**Why should you buy it?**
It's a great series, the character's are deep, the plot's certainly interesting, continuity is excellent. All in all it's a highly entertaining series. It has been recorded in the natural 4:3 format, so although not naturally wide screen it takes the format well enough. The 2.0 Dolby Soundtrack is easily acceptable, speech is clear and concise. The soundtracks are unobtrusive and relative to each scene. It has been directed by some of the best, won an Emmy, derives from the multi-award winning creators of ER and West Wing. Whilst the special effects are many years old, they don't appear dated, neither does the dialogue, the clothes, the scenes. What are you waiting for?
