This is one of the best shows I've seen on TV. It is based in the time after the Civil War and takes each character through a series of ups and downs as they make their way. Anson Mount as Cullen Bohannan is great is this role as he makes you feel what he is going through in each episode. Even though there are times he gets knocked down he still keeps gong forward. The entire cast is beautifully set and add to the entire series each with their own individual personalities. For anyone who enjoys a good western, wants to see a show that keeps your interest and will have you come back again and again this show is the one. Great actors, writers and directors, all add up to one show you won't forget.

A brand-new dvd set with scratches on the discs? such that I must manually skip. Hum. Never again.

This is one of the best mini series ever on TV. Fascinating story and plot, engaging characters and great cinematography. I know I will watch this many times.

WE enjoyed the series when it was televised. There are parts that were new to me so I must have missed some of the shows. We already knew the story but it's even better when you don't have to wait a week between chapters.

This is one of my favorite series. I love historical fiction, and I've devoured this series three times now. While there are expected deviations from history, the series creates an intricate web of fictional characters and historical figures, and manages to develop several stories at the same time that are satisfying and feel real. The series overall is captivating and utterly engaging with brilliant acting, sweeping scenery, and excellent filming. NOTES: If you're considering this set versus the set that comes in packaging that looks like a wooden crate: The DVDs are exactly the same and there are no additional special features. The crate set does come with some neat reproduction documents that the superfan or railroad buff will enjoy. DVD quality: The quality is good, but I noticed in playing the DVDs on a 4k upscaling blu ray player and a 55" 4k television that some edges are sort of pixely and some areas (backgrounds, like walls or doors) can appear to have fine, wavy lines. This could be my player struggling to upscale, but I doubt it because it does fine on other DVDs of the same era and even older ones. The picture is still enjoyable and I've watched the whole series through without any real complaint. Read full review
