This deluxe 5-DVD digi-book set includes all 20 episodes plus the pilot. Anthony Denison and Dennis Farina star. Produced by Michael Mann (the award-winning director of TV's MIAMI VICE as well as the films HEAT and ALI), this series follows the ongoing battle between a hardened cop, played by Dennis Farina, and a young, upcoming Mob gangster, played by Anthony John Denison. This SEASON ONE collection contains all of the episodes of this cult favorite from the first year of its run. Along with its stellar regular cast, the show features compelling performances by guest stars including David Carusa (CSI: MIAMI), Pam Grier (JACKIE BROWN), and Vincent Gallo (BUFFALO 66). Crime Story - Season 1 Reviews: "MIAMI VICE was the global smash, but Michael Mann's other '80s cop show was the greater, darker work."
-- Damien Love, Uncut "[With a] pulp-fiction feel for tough guys, nasty girls, fabulous cars and a driving superpop score from the likes of Del Shannon."

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Great Show - Adequate DVD
This set contains first season (and best) of the greatest year by any crime drama in TV history. In its time, the show got in trouble for its violence, which is almost tame by today's standards, even for television. But Dennis Farina, Anthony Denison & Stephen Lang (God's & Generals) make the proceedings more than watchable, as this show (both created by & contributed to from the original cops & gangsters that the proceedings are based on) reflects a gritty realism that hearkens back to pre-Miranda times, back in the days when Police work was still FUN.
Having said that, this DVD re-packaging is overdue--though not terribly inspired, lacking in extras. The picture quality is fantastic, but the sound (while good) is mono, not stereo. We do get the pilot episode, plus a "bonus" episode (a network money-saving "flashback" recycle job) not previously released on the SLP-speed VHS set from a decade ago. BUT, no commentaries from any actors or Michael Mann himself. There is a 4-page booklet which offers some nice insights, but thats it. Still, if you love the show & good crime drama in general, this set is essential & a bargain at any price.

Another salvo in Ministry's unrelenting aural assault on the policies of George W. Bush, 2007's RIO GRANDE DUB, as the title implies, presents spacious dub versions of the searing industrial-metal songs from RIO GRANDE BLOOD. Remixed by John Bechdel and Clayton Worbeck, these tracks often prove to be more dynamic than the originals, as revealed on the echo-laden, sample-heavy, and aggressive Rio Grande Dubya mix of the original album's title song.
After the fierce, politically ...
