OZARK SEASON 1-4 [DVD]

NOT a bootleg, very relieved

Fantastic series.

Video quality very dark, poor audio, and stopped entirely on disc 1. Requesting refund unfortunately.

Great lots of twists and turns. Laura Linney & Jason BatemanAre wonderful as the main actors, bit the supporting cast adds a great dimention to the story. I`ve enjoyed it.

I just finished rewatching this series on the Season 1-4 box set on dvd; first off, Ozark is a fantastic series with everything I want in a great drama; the writing is razor sharp, the acting is brilliant and the cinematography and editing are integral parts of the story telling, if I was rated the show alone I'd give it 5 stars. The DVD set on the other hand doesn't do this great show justice, the best word to describe it is basic; the single case and storage system are not well designed, I've seen worse but it's difficult to use and subjects the discs to damage. The only extra of any kind is a short 5 minute interview with Jason Bateman on the last season 1 disc, in addition, the menu and on screen navigation are primitive. All the above are nuisances, but the real problem is the transfers, particularly season one; before I made any judgements on the discs I tried them on 3 different players with two different tvs, the issues are with the discs. I also noticed that of the players I tried, a top line Panasonic 4k player, a low end Sony 4k player and my PS4, the Playstation gave the best picture with these dvds, maybe because the tech is only one step removed. In any event Season One is by far the worst, perhaps it was rushed out to capitalize on Ozarks success, not only is the picture pretty bad even for dvd but it has an odd artifact at the beginning of each episode, a weird "stutter" for a better word as if the playback is at 1.5X but the sound is 1X. The stutter seems to last only a few minutes but it's on every episode of season one though not on later seasons. The other 3 seasons lack the "stutter" and have noticeably better transfers, though watching any dvd on a large screen 4k tv is going to show the limitations of the old technology, this set is noticeably worse than other dvds. I'm assuming that most people interested in a complete series box set are looking for more than a low quality transfer, an inexpensive case and zero special features; this show really does deserve a real box set treatment with new 4k transfers and special features, till then I'd recommend just streaming it.

I don’t know if I’m reviewing the content of the show or the DVDs. Into Season 2 they are all fine so far but I haven’t rewatched the whole series yet and as everyone knows there’s a time limit for returns so I hope they all play! It was worth it to get this great price and if a DVD fails I’ll just buy the individual season like I had to do with Dallas.

THIS IS AN AMAZING SET OF DVDs The seller is excellent!

Sent to my mother as a gift and she said the quality is very bad and that it's hard to see the picture. The videos also are not playing all the time.
