Product was as described, indeed the damage to the box was not as much as expected. I was pleasantly surprised. I received the boxset early and have been watching and enjoying it. It was an excellent item to round out LGBTQ Pride month and Pride celebration in NYC

I was binge watching the episodes on Netflix and decided to purchase the show on DVD to not go through the trouble of the show leaving Netflix, I purchased the box set brand new and all of the CDs do have scratches on the backs of all of them. Not enjoyable to watch at all. I have had to plug and unplug my Bluray player multiple times because it has frozen so much.

This is one of the best tv series ever made! The box itself is very well designed, it incoperates images from each of the original cases. All of the disks (except the added bonus disk at the end) are exactly as the orininal DVD releases. The only negatives are that (1) the disks tend to 'freeze' in certain scenes (even when played in different DVD players, and there are no scratches that I can see). I do not know why this is. (2) On my brand new top of the line 55' Visio the lack of picture quality becomes very apparent (as apposed to veiwing on smaller tube sets). I do not know if this was because of lower quality cameras used in filming, or if the disks in this set were just not manufactured up to par with other standard DVDs. These two negatives are dissapointing but I am going to keep the set anyway because I love the show so much! Perhaps I might buy each set to replace all but the extra bonus disk if the picture quality appears better on those. As far as the show itself, if you have not seen Queer As Folk before, gay or straight, I highly recomend it. It is funny, heartfelt and serious all at the same time. You are going to love this series no matter what your taste or orientation!Read full review
I love having the entire set in one - though I have to admit the packaging isn't as attractive as I would have liked. The purchase of this box set was ALMOST superfluous since I already had each season's individual box sets; but this set comes with one (sadly only one) bonus disc with some great stuff on it - especially a ninety minute reunion special. As a die hard Queer As Folk fan, it was essential that I make this purchase. At over a hundred dollars, though (I got it cheaper than retail by buying off Ebay), it might not be the wisest purchase for NON die hard fans who already possess the season sets. If you love Queer As Folk and don't have the previous releases, this is the way to go, though!
Queer as Folk is one of the most amazing shows out there. I wanted to buy the complete series since I have been a longtime fan ever since the beginning. Unfortunately, the complete DVD boxset has major manufacturing problems. I have been doing some research and have found out this is a common problem. Entire discs are unreadable. Some will play, but then certain episodes will be unwatchable or skip. When I received the brand new boxset, all of the discs contained scratches. Some of them were loose from their disc holders. One was even discolored, and some of the others had a strange glue substance on them. It really is a shame since I do want the entire series. Visually, the boxset looks great, but the discs are in terrible shape. I have read that people have done multiple returns before and had the same luck. It is definitely a manufacturing problem. Next time, I intend on buying all of the seasons individually. It may be more money, but as far as reviews go, people have had much more success that way. You definitely want a show you can watch. With a show as great as Queer as Folk, you won't want to miss a minute of it.Read full review
