The Office: The Complete Series

Preço porreta

Die Box, 9 Staffeln/ 38 DVDs, kam pünktlich an und war in einem top Zustand, würde ich immer wieder kaufen. Mit dem VLC Media Player habe ich keine Probleme die DVDs auf dem Laptop abzuspielen.

Purtroppo ho acquistato questo cofanetto,serie completa in lingua originale di The Office, serie americana che amo molto. Ma,dato che non avevo fretta di vederla, mi accorgo solo oggi, che è illeggibile con il mio lettore Philips, compare la scritta 'regione errata ' e non si vede nulla! Ho speso molti soldi e li ho buttati via perché inutilizzabile. Non vi era nessuna nota che avvertisse che non era compatibile con i più comuni lettori Italiani! Altrimenti non lo avrei acquistato. Purtroppo è tardi per il reso.

Por el precio en rebaja las 9 temporadas, fue una muy buena compra, es una gran serie (tal vez mi favorita). El DVD región 1 lo reproduce el PS3 sin problemas, supongo que las consolas (o las PC's) no tienen problema con que sea regón 1. El cuarto disco de la segunda temporada no estaba en su lugar parece que se soltó probablemente porque dejaron caer (o aventaron) el empaque, por lo cual el disco presenta rayaduras. Afortunadamente no hubo problemas al reproducir los videos. Los capítulos y las escenas borradas traen subtítulos en español. Pero algunos extras como "comentarios" no muestran susbtítulos (ni en inglés ni español).

The Office was, especially during the Steve Carell years, one of the best sitcoms to ever air. Chances are most people looking to get this already know what the series is like so I will not spend a ton of time reviewing the show itself. In a nutshell, it is a sitcom that follows the day-to-day operations of the Scranton PA office of the Dunder-Mifflin paper company headed by Michael Scott (Carell), the manager of the Scranton branch. It is a Mockumentary in which the various characters are "interviewed" although we never see an interviewer, so they are essentially just talking to a camera. It is a very character-driven show and the plots were a mix of self-contained stories and then arcs, usually dealing with various character relationships. It ran for nine seasons (although season one was very short, just six episodes) and was adapted from a British show of the same name that starred Ricky Gervais and Martin Freeman. The first season mirrors the BBC version sometimes slightly and sometimes a lot, and then after that really becomes its own thing. This DVD set is just the individual season sets packaged together. So, if you purchased the seasons separately you are not getting anything different aside from a box to hold all the individual season cases. All of the extras (and there are a lot of them) are exactly the same, and nothing (at least in the DVD version) was added. I cannot say what they did with the Blu-Ray complete series set, although from what I have read it has the same extras as the DVD set. The extras include audio commentaries on many of the episodes which rotate various members of the cast. There are many commentary tracks in the early seasons and fewer as the seasons go on. Then there are a ton of deleted scenes (the best of which involve Creed and "Schrute Bucks", blooper reels, webisodes, promo material, and more. Basically, if you love watching bonus content, there are hours worth (apart from the commentary tracks) to keep you busy. Overall, the series is very good. Like many shows that last nine seasons, it was not as good at the end as it was in the beginning, especially after Steve Carell left. It had a large ensemble cast that included Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer, Mindy Kaling, John Krasinski (who, other than Carell, has probably had the biggest post-office career), and Craig Robinson. There are also a ton of very recognizable comedy actors and actresses that appeared in the series in both large and small roles. The show definitely lives up to the hype, and even though the last couple of seasons are not as good as the early seasons, they are not as bad as some people make them out to be. So, if you are a fan of the show, this is a great pickup.
