Friends: The Complete Series (Repackaged/Blu-ray)

First and most important, the video of this entire series is luxurious, gorgeous. The colors are deep, rich, and beautifully saturated. The quality is fantastic. Second, the video is not in the original full screen 4:3 ratio, but instead in the more common wide screen 16:9 that we are used to now. It is NOT letterboxed but instead reveals for the first time the full video that they captured at the time, apparently thinking forward to the time when 16:9 would be the standard. Some complain by saying that video at the edges are too revealing, but I watched both versions of the disputed scenes and found no problems with them.As for the audio, it is 5.1 throughout. It might have been nice to suppress the audience laugh track, but it did not really detract from the viewing experience. Still, the quality was high throughout the series.The packaging is not cheap even though they aggregated all of the Blu-rays into two sets of 20 discs (plus the bonus disc). Each season is packaged on two Blu-rays, and each disc typically had a couple of commentaries, with the second disc containing extras like gag reals. The bonus disc included more gag reels and some retrospective videos along with interviews on TV shows.Now my confession: I never saw a single episode of this series prior to now. Not one. I got this set so that I might fill in some of the cultural references that I missed out on at the time. I certainly got those, like "taking a break," but also grew to appreciate the show as the years advanced. I thought that the last three years became funnier over time and truly appreciate the jokes and characters, especially the Joey reactions and Phoebe proclamations. Altogether, it was a wonderful series.

The Quality,condition and appearance where perfect. Shipped and recevied quickly. Great Value.

So far so good. Well into season three and it's been great so far. The disks are crisp and clean. The quality is also wonderful.

Unfortunately, I didn't take the time to watch the DVDs before the return time limit expired, but a lot of the DVDs don't even work right?They're all distorted. I'm very disappointed.I've spent a lot of money.

¡La mejor forma de asegurarse de que Chandler, Joey, Monica, Rachel, Phoebe y Ross siempre estén ahí cuando los necesites! No hay mucho más que decir: es mi serie favorita de todos los tiempos. Tener la colección completa en Blu-ray me da la tranquilidad de que, si algún día dejan de transmitirla en plataformas como Netflix o HBO Max, siempre la tendré a mano para verla una y otra vez. La calidad de imagen es excelente, y además trae unos extras muy 'cool' que cualquier seguidor de la serie va a disfrutar al máximo. Es una compra obligatoria para tener la colección completa en casa.

Dang, 190$ bones was a lot to drop on a set of a TV show that isn't even my favorite, but i love Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc. I didn't own the show yet so i decided to go whole hog on it and i am glad i did.This is not a review of the show but the quality of the 4K release, specifically. To start off, the actual packaging is delightfully slimmed down so two seasons are in each separate case and it is so much better this way to reduce clutter. There is a separate standard blu ray case with two full discs of additional bonus features, and an included booklet with an episode listing for all the discs and chapters for the bonus discs.Now for the real wow part to me-the video quality of the show itself. It does not use DolbyVision, however, they are in HDR and i must say, for a relatively older show, WB clearly gave love to one of their most popular series. The colors and sharpness even in the early seasons are instantly noticeable and gorgeous! Fantastic job, i must say, as a techy kind of guy who has a large physical media collection, this is one of the best looking TV shows out there, even going against something newer like Better Call Saul.The other wonderful part of this set, is that unlike a lot of 4K discs, you can stop this, turn off the player, and come back to it later. It instantly pops up with a "Resume where you left off" button! Yay! No trying to fast forward to where i was before. Great stuff.Ultimately, if you are a Friends fan, this is the best possible set for you but that price is kind of ridiculous, even though it is well made. Also, if you already own the DVDs or Blu Ray releases, this becomes less palatable. It really is a beautiful release though.

Good DVD set I enjoy Friends its even better on DVD

This is a 5-star show! The lower rating is because of the case, which is cheaply made and deserves 3 stars at best. The disks are difficult to remove without practically bending them. The prongs holding the disk centers are such brittle plastic they don't release easily. A few have broken already and the spine of one the the pages holding 4 disks arrived broken so it fall out of the "book" of DVDs. This set was priced low enough that it is still worth the savings.It also came with a relatively thick booklet loaded with images from the show etc., which is really cool, but oddly enough it was included outside the box sleeve because the sleeve is too narrow to fit it inside with the 2 "books" of DVD's. Hmmm.

Bought this to give an birthday gift to my wife, wasn't happy with the purchase as few CD's didn't work.

Love love love this TV show.All the characters are just so fun to watch.Great series! Great DVD!

Un must para los fans

Igual ao anuncio , novo zero na caixa

フレンズ大好きなのでいつでも見れるようにブルーレイ買いました。ただ、日本語字幕が出ないんですが仕様でしょうか？他の方のレビューで日本語字幕があると見ましたが、英語や中国語などの字幕はありますが日本語が出てきません。機器の設定でしょうか？英語字幕で見てますが、できれば日本語字幕で見たいです。
