  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Nominated for 21 Primetime Emmy

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVDs exhibit pleasing image quality, with colors that are nicely balanced. Fleshtones appear accurate and blacks are deep and solid. The picture is sharp, with satisfying textures, contrast, and shadow delineation. There is a bit of pixelization noticed, though edge enhancement is limited. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
Both discs of this two-disc set employ very effective Dolby
