Customer Reviews

Great box, great story, could've been better format4
This review is about the box contents and not a review of the series itself.

The Pretender Seasons 1-4 DVD box allows the viewer to grasp the full series of this great show if one should buy the end movies The Pretender 2001 and Island of the Haunted as well. The DVD box contains all four seasons in four double-sided DVD discs per season, making the DVD box small enough to not waste any space on the bookshelf.

There are mainly three things that hinder the rating to become 5 stars.

First off, the DVD box is Region 1 only, while most shows and DVDs released today are region free one has to have a Region 1 compatible DVD player or if using software, change the region decoding.

Second, audio and video haven't been improved very much since the show was on TV. While the average The Pretender fan won't mind and will be just as happy to have the whole series on DVDs, the movie enthusiast may be somewhat disappointed that the show is in 4:3 aspect ratio only and normal audio (No DTS or Dolby Surround).

Last, there's no box (though Better Together offer) containing all four seasons and the end movies. If you want the whole series with an ending, order the end movies (The Prender 2001 and Island of the Haunted) as well.

AWESOME SHOW5
NOT FINISHED WATCHING THIS COLLECTION, YET. IT'S AMAZING WHAT I MISSED WHILE WATCHING IT WHEN ORIGINALLY AIRED. LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.

Great series4
The Pretender series, which hasn't made it onto our screens here, is great viewing with lots of twists to the story leaving you wandering what is going to come out of the woodwork next. I got a taste of the series through DVDs of an American friend. The only disappointment I have is that the first disc of the first season is not working properly - I have only been able to watch the first two episodes and then had to jump to the next disc ços nothing else worked Missed 5 episodes I think. The other discs so far are ok - currently I'm watching the first disc of the second season. Here's hoping season 3 and 4 are ok.
