Slings and Arrows – The Complete Collection (Acorn Media Blu-ray Box Set)

I have
said it in several reviews now, but Slings
and Arrows is an amazing series.
Though Acorn Media has not released many series on Blu-ray to date, they
have now released one of their top properties in the form of Slings and Arrows: The Complete
Series. This set includes all three
wonderful seasons and looks great here on Blu-ray.

The only
thing I would change about Slings and
Arrows is I wish it would have went more than three seasons and I wish that
more Americans would have seen it when it was originally out. The series is simply amazing from beginning
to end.
The video
on Season 1 is merely an
upconversion, but Seasons 2 & 3 are
a solid HD presentation. The picture has
its moments of grit, but overall is clear with solid colors and blacks. There is a good amount of detail when
compared to the DVD and the skin tones look way more realistic. I am proud to finally see the series get the
treatment it deserves. The sound is a
nice DTS-HD Master Audio track that has the series sounding better than ever
and whereas the series doesn’t have much range with the surrounds the dialogue
is crisp, clean and clear.
Extras
included in this set are the same as the Complete
DVD Collection mentioned above, but this time around three additional audio
commentaries are included. The
commentaries are well done and insightful.
If you
have not taken part in Slings and Arrows
in the past now is the time to experience the theatrical insanity.
