Crime Story - Season Two (1986)

Crime Story - Season Two

Great to see this title again. I caught this on its first run on TV and have watched it again on VHS, so imagine my joy when I saw that they (Season 1 also) had been released on DVD. This show was ahead of its time, even when depicting a history some of us have never known. Michael Mann's customary character tough talk and physical swagger effects every cast member and they say so much through their body language that the screen is packed with machismo from start to finish. Even the stoolies, rats and ne'er-do'wells have a sympathetic edge.

I love it, and recommend this to anybody who will listen. November 25, 2007

Vegas, Baby!

Just when I thought it was as good as it could be, the best cop show ever on TV kicked it up a notch by moving the action from the gritty streets of Chicago to the neon Babylon of Las Vegas. In the second season of Crime Story, Dennis Farina is as macho as ever, Anthony Denison takes evil to a whole new level, and the rest of the cast are unparalleled in acting ability. I gave seasons one and two to my husband as a gift over a month ago, and he hasn't stopped watching them since. If you like cop shows, the Sopranos, or even the sixties, you gotta see this!

Glad to have found this

When "Crime Story" starring Dennis Farina and Anthony Dennison came out in 1986, I was instantly hooked, and could not wait until the next episode. Once the show ended, I was disappointed and caught re-runs when I could.

Now, after searching for hard to find and expensive VHS sets, I opted instead for the DVD sets which have both seasons. This show was, IMO definitely a precursor to "The Sopranos" and other great crime shows and Dramas that have since won legions of followers. If you were/are an ardent fan of the series or any other crime/mobster films, these DVD sets are a must have for your collection. February 20, 2007

Sensational

As with Season 1 the action and intrigue is non-stop.It was such a pity that the show was cancelled after 2 seasons!
We will be lucky to see another series as good as this in our lifetimes! January 19, 2007

Absolutely Fabulous!!

This DVD of Crime Story made me realize how great TV series can be. Dennis Farino is excellent as are the cast members. This was a totally unplanned purchase and it brought me back to fine television. I recommend this for anyone who appreciates good music, great plots and classic cars. July 3, 2006
