The Untouchables/The Complete Collection//includes all 42 episodes

I was so happy when my hubby ordered these for me. I used to love watching these when they used to come on TV. Was one of my favorite shows. Great buy

I was 12 years old when the 1959-1963 series starring Robert Stack aired. I loved the series, and being a 12-year-old girl, I had a mad crush on Robert Stack. This series is an excellent version of the stories, mostly fictionalized, of the exploits of this elite group. There are tidbits of fact mixed in with the fictionalization, something I like in historically-based shows. This version is even bloodier than the original, which was criticized in the early 1960s as too violent. But the gore occurs within highly realistic plots, depicting the grittiness and hardships of the 1920s and the early 1930s, and the reality of mob violence. The production is elegant. The directing is solid, the writing top-notch. The acting is stellar, with William Forsythe rocking the role of Al Capone as few have been able to do. John Rhys-Davies is wonderful in any role he takes on, and functions here as his boss's right-hand man, mentor, and at times, conscience. Tom Amandes is every bit as much Eliot Ness as Robert Stack was, giving us superb moments throughout the series. At the end of the credits, there is an homage to the Robert Stack series as well as to Eliot Ness's book. And in every episode I have seen so far, there is, in one way or another, further homage to the original series. Little bits of business, the way a scene is set, and many scenes which reflect the earlier series are placed within the episodes with no self-consciousness whatsoever. These scenes, bits of business, and depictions fit, and are well done. And those wonderful old cars are wonderful to see!There are notices at the beginning of the CDs that there may be some difficulties with the processing of what they refer to as an old series. So far, I have not had much difficulty viewing these. One episode so far seemed to have sound-track troubles, but even with my compromised hearing (73, with chronic tinnitus), I had no trouble hearing the dialogue.I so looked forward to the release of this series, and am thoroughly satisfied with it. In fact, I'm delighted.One complaint: the packaging. It is the same type as the recent re-release in a one-box set of the original series, and it is not good packaging. There are fewer disks in the set than in the original series. It ran two seasons, while the original had four years. But the packaging is the same, and does not hold the disks in securely, even with fewer of them. When this package arrived today, two of the disks had come free of their posts and were loose in the box. Be careful opening the boxes on both of these releases; it could be possible to crack or break a CD.If you liked the earlier series, I would think you'd enjoy this one, too.

Have no complaints only compliments about the purchase, price, and how Amazon sent this order.So far as the content of this version of "The Untouchables" found this series fairly good. I had never seen any of this show until buying this 42 episode series. Did not like the character role of Al Capone in this series, they confused the moral issue of right and wrong in this series portrayal. I personally like the character role portrayal of Al Capone in the original Untouchables TV series of the late 1950's and early 1960's much better. Again the character role portrayal of Capone in the series "Boardwalk Empire" seems more realistic.Elliot Ness had a much stronger character portrayal in the original series compared to this version, another reason I like the original version better. Not quite certain if how Elliot Ness reacted to the military intervening in taking action against organized crime in Chicago is close to what happened historically yet they made the military look really bad when that is probably the only real solution to the problem there. Overall the series was fairly good and different.

I enjoy watching it different prospective from the 1960 series

I can sit for ten minutes on Select episode just listening to the awesome theme by Joel Goldsmith, died age only 55 how unjust life can be!In common with most reviews I agree William Forsyth is a superb Al Capone though as the world's number one fan of the Robert Stack series I have a soft spot for Neville Brand, who will always be Capone to me.I am also a fan of Paul Regina's Frank Nitti, though again Bruce Gordon's Nitti is perhaps my all time favourite character, as it seems the original Frank Nitti was by accounts having pretentions to being a more cultured man than the fantastic but larger than life Bruce's character. Tom Amandes does a good job but " he ain't no Robert Stack".all in all a great watch to compliment the first three seasons of the original.I cant wait for a planned visit to Chicago and Alcatraz, when I retire in a few years.

This was an enjoyable series, which closely follows both the original 1960s B&W "The Untouchables", and the Sean Connery/Kevin Costner movie, and to a lesser extent, the book "The Untouchables" by Eliot Ness and Oscar Fraley. However neither the old series nor are completely accurate with specific cases and personal information, i.e. Eliot Ness did not have a daughter, but rather a son who was adopted by Ness and his third wife. Regardless, it was an enjoyable series, and the actors are very well cast in their respective parts. For pure entertainment and a general insight into the days of Prohibition, you can't go wrong, especially for the price. For a highly accurate picture of the era, and the real Ness & his Untouchables, there are books out there.

Loved this show when it first aired on cable (UPN) in the 90's. I have finished watching the 1st season of this DVD set and have absolutely no complaints. Picture and sound are just fine for me, even though the DVD opening screen apologizes for quality issues due to the age of the show. Maybe such quality issues will show up as I start to watch the second season, but so far I am more than pleased! Or maybe picture quality will depend solely on your TV. Mine is not 4k, so I don't know how the video will look on a 4k set.

EXCELLENT SHOW.FAST DELIVERY

J’avais apprécié cette série quand elle passait à la tv… j’étais bien jeune… que c’est mal joué et réalisé….

Nevrr got a chance to watch it on tv, but this collection is top notch.

The Untouchables 1993 series was one of the shows that i remember being very good considering it's high production value and less restriction on mature content. it has a decent cast, and clearly was made due to the massive success of the 1987 film with the same name but didn't last very long due to being an expensive series to make and actor William Forsythe (one of the top-billing actors in the series) who brilliantly played the antagonist gangster Al Capone wanted to leave the series after season 2. i was surprised it took this long for this series to be officially released on dvd even more surprised i was released on blu-ray. sadly the downside is the blu-ray transfer is just the same as the dvd quality you're standard "SD-to-BLU-RAY" fair, it's also very bare-bones in terms of features: no subtitles, no special features and the quality of the series is pretty good but clearly not remastered properly which is a same. but considering how obscure this series is, were even lucky it got officially released in this quality. also this series in my opinion is miles better then the Robert Stack series from the late 50's.

n'ai pas encore compléter le visionnement, mais satisfait jusqu'à présent.
