Da Ali G Show - The Complete Seasons 1 & 2 [DVD]

Deadly Women Indeed
I remember the first story that took my breath away. It was the story of Ruth Ellis. It was so compelling and so touching!!! I loved the cinematography. Dare I admit I used the ol' DVD recorder but I somehow misplaced the DVD. I was so disappointed!! This particular show didn't come on as often as the other episodes. I am SOOOO happy this DVD came out. It by far surpasses downloading this on Itunes. DVD's add clarity. I'm not a stickler for HD & will never upgrade but it's definitely worth buying the DVD series. I can't wait for the new ones to come out. I also LOVE the commercials!! The commercials are more intriguing & beautiful than some of the actual episodes.This may seem stupid to say but I never really thought much about these criminals being women. I wonder what the average man thinks when he watches this. I also love the episode with the blood countess. Anyone interested in that case should also check out the DVD Bathory-you'll need a region free DVD player to view it.By the way the one episode that is out this season with where the body in the trunk of the car has maggots on it went too far!!! I can't watch that portion. I'm not opposed to seeing something real but the way it was manufactured I just don't care for it & it grosses me out and I don't gross out easily!!!

One of HBO's Funniest Shows
I was very upset to hear that Sacha Baron Cohen would not be returning for a third season but this DVD does provide some closer. If you missed Da Ali G Show when it first aired or if you want to relive the comedy then this DVD is right for you.I hate when people say Ali G is offensive and racist when in fact he is just basically poking fun at himself. Sacha Baron Cohen is Jewish and most of his humor is just stupid fun. There are several appearances by politicians who try to survive Ali's odd and idiotic line of questioning. Then there's Borat the anti-Semitic person from Kazakhstan. Finally there's Bruno the Austrian fashion guru who attempts to makes other uncomfortable by acting as homosexual as possible. I have never laughed so hard at any HBO show and I highly recommend it.Even though forty dollars seems a bit much for twelve, half hour segments you will get you money's worth over and over again. This set is a great addition to anyone's collection and I highly recommend it.

Defective Box Set, duplicate discs
Season 2 came with two disc 2s and no disc 1. Opened it up to discover this past the return deadline.

True Crime Stories
Deadly Women is a show on the I.D. channel. Unfortnately these stories are true. Really wakes you up, and more aware of what goes on around you, and around family and friends. Families go through so much sadness, grief, because of crazy people out there..i learn from this show, and pay respect to the families the tragedy occured with. I wish we could end all of this horrible behavior many display and act out....

Strange AF
Ali G is amazing. The 2 disk season 2 pack was not. In 30 years of buying DVDs I have never seen an error like this. Keep in mind that the DVDs were factory sealed. Within my 2 disk season 2 pack, I received 2 disks of disk 2 and no disk 1.

Irreverent true crime show
I am a big fan of this show despite the fact it relies on re-enactments of crimes instead of documentary footage and isn't always accurate in facts. On the plus side, sometimes the episodes have moments of black humor, thanks in part to narration by Lynnanne Zager, which makes it "fun" to watch despite being about true crime. Commentary by retired FBI profiler Candice DeLong is always a treat, and it is another reason to watch the series.This particular DVD has the first two seasons, with the first season only having three episodes (it was a miniseries) with four cases profiled in each episode. The second season also had a handful of episodes but had three cases profiled, which is the current format. More and more episodes for each season started with the third season and continue to the present. All of the cases profile women accused and usually convicted of murder in English-speaking countries. Many of the cases are well known and have been profiled in other series, but this show often features cases of female killers from decades or even centuries ago.While all of the episodes of this series are available on iTunes, seasons 3 to the present need to be on DVD. I would also add a spinoff from this series called "Facing Evil with Candice DeLong," featuring interviews with a number of women whose cases have been profiled on "Deadly Women," also should be released on DVD.

Great DVD featuring the first 2 seasons of Deadly Women
Great first 2 seasons of Amazing Investigation Discovery True Crime TV Show!!! After watching a few episodes on TV on the Investigation Discovery channel I fell in love with this show. I had to buy this DVD because you can't get Season One on Amazon Instant Video like you can with seasons 2-10 but it was 100% worth it to complete my collection. LOVE Deadly Women!!
