I bought this set because I really enjoyed watching the episodes aired on TV. I like the main character's wit and humour. I was extremely disappointed when the show was cut from the air. Compared to many of the diabolical and boring shows that are airing right now, not sure don't why this truly original show was cut. I'm still waiting for season 4 :( Great show and highly recommended!

I'd hope that you're considering buying this boxset because you've seen (and enjoyed) at least one of the episodes. It's not for everyone so I wouldn't recommend that you buy it on a whim, despite how amusing Tim Roth is. He plays a genius psychologist and body language/facial expression expert who is used in various cases with or without the police to solve crimes. It is in no way your typical crime drama thingymabob, but it is based on a real bloke - there's probably something about it on wikipedia. It is a very clever series; everything 'fits' and when each episode has finished it leaves you with a very satisfied feeling. It has now unfortunately been cancelled (typical of Fox), and the last season is a great deal shorter than the others (13 episodes in comparison to 20+ in 1 and 2) which is one of two bad points for me. The other is the packaging. It's pathetic. The actual disc cases are fine, but the cardboard sleeve needs a good wrestle before it gives in. Maybe I got a faulty one, I don't know. What I hoped would be slidey slidey turned out to be flaps and I almost broke it when trying to open it carefully... be careful with it.
