Customer Reviews of Boomtown - Season One
One of the best cop shows that people didn't "get" Boomtown was unlike any cop drama out there. Boomtown was full of complex and orginal characters that remain constant through the shows run of 2 seasons. NBC viewers (most of them) didn't get the format so the people who loved Boomtown and wanted MORE of it had to suffer due to the Law and Order series which keeps dragging on and on. Boomtown was something special and still is to the people who fell in love with the stories and characters.
NBC was STUPID for letting go of this amazing show. This DVD should also add Season 2 even though it wasn't as orginal as the first it still deserves to be on this DVD! Boomtown will live on forever as one of the best cop shows out there! I really miss this show!!!
I Can't Believe NBC Cancelled This Show!
I moved out of the US 2 1/2 years ago, so I completely missed this show when it was on TV. However, I purchased the DVD from Amazon.co.uk, and I think it is now one of my all-time favorite shows. This DVD contains 18 episodes (the first season?), in widescreen format.
The cast is superb. Mykelti Williamson's "Fearless" is quirky and complex (he is probably best known for his role as Bubba in Forrest Gump). Neal McDonough is superb as the uptight, upright, yet slightly out-of-control ADA David McNorris. Jason Gedrick, Lana Parrilla, Nina Garbiras, Donnie Wahlberg, and Gary Basaraba round out an ensemble cast, painting rich portraits of people with stressful jobs and personal lives.
The photography and "graphic look" of the show are innovative, and the "multiple perspective" aspect of the plot exposition is clever and eye-opening. There are surprising plot twists at every turn.
There are some interesting guest appearances, as well. Patricia Wettig from Thirty-Something does a great job as a Patty Hearst-like former terrorist.
It is a sad commentary on our American culture that shows like this do not succeed while tons of pathetic, identical sewage pour from the screen daily.
If you have a multi-standard DVD player, go to amazon.co.uk and order this today. Unfortunately it is a Zone 2 DVD, so it will not play on most US DVD players. What is the deal in the US; why is this not released?
Boomtown on DVD PLEASE !!!!
NBC cancels one of the best shows it ever had on the air and then wonders why they are losing viewers to HBO. This was absolutely the BEST acted, BEST storyline, BEST thought out show I have seen in a very long time. I could not wait for it to come on every week. Only thing was, you could never find it...NBC kept moving it around. I am so glad they decided to air the last episodes for us in December... I was in heaven. Since they put every other show's episodes on DVD, why won't NBC put Boomtown on a 2 disc DVD set for us? If I thought my DVD player would play the UK version, I would pay the extra postage for that one. Why does the UK have it and we don't?
Better yet, NBC, bring the series back!!! We miss Fearless and the gang!
