Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I loved True Blood and decided for the first time I would wait until a complete series collection was released to purchase this series. I typically always buy separate season and then regret it later when a complete series set is released with all the "bells and whistles." Well, I have to say that this has definitely disappointed my theory of buying a complete set with "bells and whistles." I'm not sure why HBO decided to not show some love to True Blood, but this set was completely disappointing. Where HBO has put out some very nice complete series sets (i.e. original Sex in the City set in book type format, Six Feet Under with grassy top of set, etc), they took no care in putting this set together. What we get is all seasons exactly the same as standard releases in jewel cases. So we are even missing some of the great artwork that was inside the individual releases. There is no special "episode guide book," no bonus disc of extras, and even the slip case is mediocre at best. I wish HBO would have taken the time to show the fans some love and create a release worthy of the show. Maybe make a coffin shaped box or a True blood bottle shaped box, include a bonus dvd including the final True Blood panel at San Diego Comic Con, amongst other extras. I did not notice, but include the "Baby Vamp" episoded of Jessica. Not sure what HBO was thinking. If you have the individual sets, you are probably better off and DO NOT waste your time investing in this set. You will not be gaining anything!
