Charmed: The Complete Series

I have been a Charmed fan for forever. I was Thrilled to get the complete series for my birthday recently!! My only "problem" is that I don't believe there are subtitles at all. Other than that? Not a thing wrong!! Excited to be chilling with my cat and watch this all the way through!

Best tv series ever made

Great but my kid got to the collection and ruined it

Let me start out by saying this is a different kind of review and as you read on you will find out why. I am assuming that anyone who has bought this edition or is thinking about it already knows what a marvelous show this was to have succeeded eight years on the air. anyone investing this kind of money knows this. There fore I decided to review the presentation of this most unusual and incredible packaging, etc... Read on:I absolutely love this deluxe limited edition. Worth every penny. I repeat, Anyone who has invested this much money to purchase this copy already knows that the series is fabulous. I want to talk about the presentation of the book of shadows edition. I saw the much smaller one in a store. It was half the size and quite frankly disappointing looking. Plus I heard that there was a problem with glue getting on the discs. This GORGEOUS edition is just that gorgeous. It's just like owning your own Book of Shadows.Beautifully and artistically rendered. I was an art major in college and am very critical about art in general. I was so impressed when I opened up this very heavy package I received in the mail that I knew what it was right away, as I get a lot of packages in general. This lovely rendering of The Book of Shadows does not disappoint. Whomever put this together should be very proud of themselves whether it be one person or a collaboration.I was honestly sorry that I didn't buy a few books. When the descriptions came out for the two different versions they were the same and there was no way of telling what the differences were. One just had to take a gamble and I decided I best go with the more expensive one hoping that I wasn't making a mistake. Thrilled that I made the right choice I highly recommend any charmed fan or even a new watcher of the series to just not waste time and get this edition right off thebat. You won't in anyway be sorry.The only thing I feel they could have done better was the packaging of the book itself. I feel that it should have had a cover on the box itself for protection. It's not too late for the manufacturer to make covers and offer them for a couple bucks. I bet they would fly right outof the warehouse as I cannot be the only person that feels this way.Something so beautiful really should be better protected.Also, a small thing but nonetheless nice would have been if they had added a few more ribbon page dividers. All in all I couldn't be happier that I chose the full size authentic rendering of Charmed's "Book of Shadows" disc set. I'm just altogether THRILLED in case anyone didn't catch my opinion the first time. Just kidding!This is truly a work of art worthy of displaying the artwork in the book itself. It goes without saying that the Series is the obvious reason anyone buys the seasonal collections. Yet in this particular case that Is why I chose to review the actual Book of Shadows packaging more than or at least equal to the DVD set. This reminds me of when I was a child and cared more about the wrapping paper than the gift itself. At least the principal holds up. I display mine in my living area of my home. It's as much a piece of artwork as the paintings I have hanging on my walls.A real catch if you can still find one. A++++ rating.

This is a nice dvd complete series. Definitely has eye appeal sitting on the shelf with the rest of the collection. Comes with two thick plastic dvd cases that sit in the cardboard display box. Very nice addition to the collection.

The box came worn and one of the cases came broken in two, but that doesn't personally bother me considering the disks seem fine. I was planning on moving the dvds into a seperate case anyway, so it works out.The dvds all have very minor imperfections, but I've watched 4 disks so far and haven't noticed any impact on playablity. All in all, perfectly suitable for my personal needs.

The media could not be loaded. This DVD set package is quite nice, although not the standard shape for media cabinets. From a packaging perspective, I had zero problems with mine, all discs were flawless. I have a few comments about the ease of sliding in the lower discs, but it was in superb condition. The DVD case that is in the form of the book of spells is quite nice. I think they did a great job in the look and construction of the book. The cover is textured nicely, the pages with a somewhat antique feel and thick. Each season's section starts out with graphics and a nicely done table of contents for each disc. Personally, I would have preferred if each disc's table of contents were mirrored on the back of the previous page to the actual disc slot so it lines up with the actual disc that I open the book to for added convenience to reference with the disc I am pulling. But overall, I thought it was styled very well, and constructed well.Functionally speaking, I still prefer the normally sized DVD cases that fit on a media cabinet shelf along with all my other DVDs. Being a completely different shape, it doesn't fit on a shelf that fits a usual DVD case. I would prefer either a collection of slim-line case boxes for each season, or even better is a set of cases with the flip book style that even more compactly fits a complete season. This is actually available, or if you purchase the seasons individually, but the older style that is out of production or individual seasons are more expensive. So I still prefer the better value over function.There were reports of issues by other reviews, that was reports of glue particles on some discs. What I can say is mine was flawless, which I show in the video, and was sold by Amazon. I recommend checking your discs within the Amazon return/exchange window in case yours has any issue. I've never had a problem exchanging defective items for free by Amazon. They've been stellar in supporting things that were their fault, including defective or broken.

The stories were well written, and the girls are gorgeous. So sorry about the recent tragic death of Ms. Doherty.
