Well done series in the Equalizer tradition!
My wife and I have been really re-enjoying this DVD edition of the TV series. It's a great story that is increasingly timely and relevant in the panopticon world we are living in. Cavezial is a great deadpan actor and his boss and sidekicks have their own backstories which make this series a multi-tiered interest factories of stories and timelines.Perhaps we are simpletons, but we really enjoy seeing good vanquish bad and the right win out over the wrong. So wish real life had more Equalizers like this series presents. It would be good for our society to have the bad guys discover that justice walks the streets, protects the intended or potential victims and delivers swift consequences.Thoroughly enjoyable. Some intriguing cliff-hangers. And lots of episodes so even if you binge-watch, you aren't going to extinguish your stash of episodes too fast. Get it. You'll be glad you did.

Fascinating and Well-Acted Series
A friend of mine suggested I check out this series, and I really like it. The actors play their parts very well, and the series is really fascinating. It's easy to get addicted to the series and binge-watch it, so that's one cautionary note.

Amazing
This show now ranks with The X-Files and Hannibal as one of my 3 all-time favorite shows. All 3 shows offer compelling central characters. Unlike TXF, however, the plot of POI holds together across seasons - it's incredibly tight and well-executed. And, while dark in many respects, POI is ultimately more hopeful than Hannibal could ever have been.My advice if you're starting out with it because of what you've heard about POI over the years: stick with it. It starts out with a heavier emphasis on traditional procedural elements (no doubt because of network pressure) and never loses the mandate to create some standalone eps to fulfill its typical 22-23 episode annual order, and it could seem just mildly interesting at the start. I watched the first season over the span of several months. I watched Seasons 2-5 in about two weeks. Once it gets going, it quickly hits a pace and a level of writing and acting and plotting that makes me feel like it must have existed in an Emmy blind spot because this show should have been cleaning up awards. Don't give up on it if it doesn't grab you from the first half of the first season. It transforms from a pretty interesting procedural that you could watch while folding your laundry into a subversive sci-if masterpiece that requires your full attention.Kudos also to the show for having created two of the most compelling LGBT characters I can recall seeing on the small screen. They are so fully drawn, so intriguing, and have such sizzling chemistry with each other that they've really reset the bar for fully-realized LGBT characters on television as far as I'm concerned.What an accomplishment this show is. Everyone involved with it should be so proud of their work and for their prescient vision of the dangers of a world where privacy is so willingly sacrificed for the perception of greater security. Bravo.

Great binge worthy series
If you like crime dramas this is a must watch series! Jim Caviezel (who’s good in anything), and Michael Emerson (this is the first thing I remember seeing him in and had to look to see if he had physical disabilities-he does such a good job in his role) make a great duo in this government intrusive series. It’s well written and executed until the last couple of seasons (where I’d have to take it to 4 stars ⭐️); I think the writers started having issues coming up with quality material.

Possibly pirated DVDs packaged and shipped to customers
I really enjoy this show and I've watched the series a couple of times; originally when it aired on TV and again when Netflix had it. I finally wanted to have a copy of my own so I recently purchased the complete series, but I was sad when I found my copy having issues.After having an issue getting a couple of discs on Season 2 to play properly I popped them into my PC and I was greeted with this message from a program I tried using with them:"It appears that you are opening the disc processed by DvdFab/MacTheRipper which is known to produce damaged VOB files. Errors may follow - please use original disc instead."I went through all the other seasons and it wasn't only season 2 out of the set gave me this message, a few other discs from other seasons also gave me this message and gave me issues when trying to play them on my DVD players or testing them on my computer.Some of the discs are scuffed, looks like they've used before and some of the clips holding the discs are broken. I won't be keeping this copy of and I will be asking for a refund because it doesn't appear to be a legit copy.

Wonderful!
I am really very happy, I love this series and for me it is perhaps the most beautiful TV series that has been shot. it's all perfect, fantastic script, set design and soundtrack.The unsurpassed actors. I am very sorry for those who gave only one star for lack of the Italian language, if there were 10 stars I would give them all
