Crime Story must be one of the best tv shows ever made. I loved the characters of Michael Torello and Ray Luca, brilliantly played by Dennis Farina and Anthony John Denison. Their scenes together are where this action packed show excells.
This particular edition consists of 3 double-sided discs. What's important to point out is that the video quality is somewhat wanting - the picture can get pixelated in scene transitions and overall it isn't of great quality. But, from what I've read, other editions have this problem too (video quality).
The sound is very good, although sometimes I think the music is louder than the dialogues. And unfortunately there are no subtitles.
However the price is very reasonable so you cannot expect too much. And Crime Story is a show definitely worth buying for your collection.

Sadly, in my opinion, only two seasons of this Cop show were ever made. I have both series 1&2 and anyone who likes the Hill Street Blues/NYPD Blue genre will certainly like Crime Story.

Now back in the day CRIME STORY was cutting edge tv , based in the 60s las vegas ,it's a fantastic series about a bunch of cops lead by hard as nails lietenant MIKE TERILLO hunting down merciless gangster RAY LUCA , seasons 1&2 are very gritty drama , filled with some no holds barred gun fights and action scenes ,and the costumes and sets are terrific , you will notce many faces in this show who went on to become big stars , it comes highly recommended
AMAZONS product description is WRONG , with this CRIME STORY SEASON 2 dvd you get all 22 EPISODES on 5 DISCS, not just on 1 DISC as stated in AMAZONS description ( SEASON 1 has 5 DISCS too )
A BIT PRICEY THESE DAYS - BUT STILL WORTH EVERY PENNY - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TV COP SHOW :)

Great music, great action, a real classic. Nice to watch again after so many years. Torello is tough and Luca a fabulous gangster.

Not what I expected....
It was OK I suppose but definitely not riveting viewing. The B side of the discs would not play on my DVD player so I had to watch those episodes on my lap top, which didn't help. Read more

It's A "Crime" Not To Buy!!
I first became aware of this great series back in the early 1990's when the first series was released as feature length episodes (3 edited together) on 7 VHS Videos. Read more
