GREAT

One word: GREAT. Watched it all in one sitting. ABC really dropped the ball on this one. They should have given it a chance, and trusted the great writing and acting instead of just relying on the ratings. You won't be disappointed. August 12, 2008

No Captions or Subtitles

I'd give 5 stars - seems like a great show so far - but beware - there's No Captions OR Subtitles - Jeez, pretty much all dvds have one or the other - this has nothing! August 12, 2008

thank god for DVD

Raise your hand if you've gotten into a TV series, and it gets pulled!

But now at least, we have dvd, and I am thankfull LOL. My sister bought this for me, and I had no idea it was even out. But here you get to see all the episodes, and watch the whole thing from start to finish, and find out if poor Detective Hopper can make it to the next day.

Props have to be given to the writers to keep track of all this, and a director and actors who delivered this series in a credible way. I highly recommend this DVD. The only disappointment (for me) is that the extras are rather light, not as extensive as I like, but on the whole, a purchase worthy of your money. July 12, 2008

This is a great show not given a fair chance

I think this show is a must buy at 19.99. This show is special, in a way that I really haven't ever seen before. The show's premise is like Groundhog Day, but I think it works even better in this case. If you like watching detective shows, where the plot sort of unfolds in one hour, then you will LOVE this show because it unfolds over the season, brilliantly. Brett Hopper is repeating the same day over and over again, and he learns so much from every character, what they were going through that day, and it's almost scary to think about his relationships and how shaky they really were. But you come to see that he is a fast learner, and really the day repeating is the only way to allow him to find the truth. I think the element of repeating the day, learning from mistakes, decisions and their consequences make this show a great teaching tool, you will learn a lot from this show. If you think about it, each day is a mystery in itself, and you will love this show from the pilot until the end. YOU WON'T be disappointed with this purchase, do it soon. July 2, 2008

Can't believe ABC gave up on this one...

I loved this show from the very first episode, and it only got better. The perfect mid-season replacement for LOST, requiring a little thinking to make the ride worthwhile. And was I PO'ed when they yanked it half way through the run. What was ABC thinking? Were they afraid we wouldn't get it? I couldn't catch the last episodes online, so I waited patiently for the DVD set and I wasn't disappointed. The acting, action, camera work, music, editing...it was all well above average for a TV series. Actually the cancellation may have been a blessing for the true fan since with the DVD set we can hear commentaries on every episode...and I've watched some episodes several times. Want a great way to spend 13 hours+, without the commercials? Buy this and you won't be disappointed. Maybe some other network will pick it up for the short run and others will join the bandwagon.
