Among the inaugural season's most wrenching episodes are "Between the Cracks" and "Hang On to Me," both featuring Charles Dutton in his Emmy Award-winning performance as a father whose son has been missing for five years. The powerful season finale, "Fallout," presented in this four-disc set in a "creator's cut," concerns a man who lost his wife in the 9/11 attacks. The riveting episodes mostly stand alone, but some cases do return to haunt Malone, as witness "In Extremis," a case that ends tragically and leads to an internal investigation that threatens to subvert the close-knit unit in the episode. "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been?" Sharp writing, authentic procedurals, taut direction, and effective use of music make Without a Trace a series worth finding on DVD. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews of Without a Trace - The Complete First Season
It Gets Better This is the best show I almost missed. When I watched the pilot for "Without a Trace," I hated it. The lighting was too dark, the actors mumbled their lines, and the background music was too loud to hear what they were mumbling.
I tried it again a few weeks later. It was like watching a different show! The lighting was brighter, and you could understand what the actors were saying.
After a few episodes, "Without a Trace" became one of my favorites.
The writing is excellent and has to be. The narrow format (a person disappears, the FBI team investigates, and what happened is revealed) requires that the characters that vanish must be interesting--and they are! They also do a good job of varying the ending. Some weeks, the missing person is found and reunited with his or her family, and other weeks, the ending isn't so happy.
However, the best episodes on these disks are the ones that break the format. The 2-part episode that concludes Season 1, involving a hostage situation involving one of the agents, is one of the most suspenseful TV episodes I've ever seen. The episode in which Anthony LaPaglia's character is under investigation by the Internal Affairs-like division is not that far behind.
The actors are outstanding, especially Anthony LaPaglia as Jack Malone. I invite people to watch him on this show, then watch him play Jane Leeves' drunken brother, Simon, when the later episodes of "Frasier" come out. You will not believe the same actor is playing both characters.
Poppy Montgomery is also excellent. How can any character named Samantha Spade not be interesting? She can question me any time.
Anyone who hasn't seen these shows should definitely check out these DVDs.
