the series was excellent except they didn't give a definite ending, as if there is no certain direction the series will go. October 20, 2008

Odyssey 5 - The Complete Series

Excellent story line which left me thirsting for more. I have viewed the episodes which my daughter saved on her DVR and The Complete Series has left out some of the programing which is disgraceful of Sony. When one uses the word Complete, complete means everything, not what has been cherry picked by management. Why didn't Showtime continue the series when it was acknowledged their decision was based solely on erroneous Nielson ratings? Showtime, please reinstate the series. October 9, 2008

Good movies. Fast shipping.

I love this show when it was on, and since I wanted to see it again, I bought this set. I enjoyed watching the show again. May 30, 2008

Good but they should continue with the series

Good series but the ending is a bit disappointing. I will not revile ending but I thing that they should continue with the series. It is like a dead end, but anyway I like it. and one other thing, it should cost bit less. May 27, 2008

A quality series cut short

My flatmate suggested watching his copy of Odyssey 5 since he knew I'm a sci-fi fan. After watching the first 2 discs I was convinced this was a very worthwhile series. There is a central story played throughout the series, as opposed to individual episodes geared toward an audience with short attention span and/or an overly busy lifestyle. The characters were well developed, the dialouge was clever and true to the characters, the actors were convincing... on the whole this was a unique series which blended intellect with entertainment.

THEN the story makes a big leap on the last episode with plot progression and several loose ends which were never dealt with. The series was canceled. After doing reading through blogs and info sites full of pissed off fans like myself, it was apparently canceled by Showtime despite having considerable ratings. From both a business and an artistic standpoint, this was the blunder of all blunders.

After considering this outrage, Odyssey 5 is still worth buying and watching for sci-fi fans out there. It is to be appreciated by it's own accord and should not be considered "better" or "worse" than other series like Star Trek. The true sci-fi fans out there will understand this. May 7, 2008
