when SHTF it's good to have options. DVDs are reliable when streaming is not
Haven't gone through all the discs. So far seems fine. I will update if need be.I have already seen both shows and loved each. Love the Dexter franchise and wanted to have a hard copy so I dont have to rely on streaming. If internet goes down, or the grid, I have entertainment during the inevitable apocalypse (lol?) It takes very little to power up a dvd player and tv using a power bank. Over the past few years I've been buying DVDs of series I really like, ones I could watch over and over. Again, streaming services are often switching things around, internet may not be relied on, and if the economy gets as terrible as it has been in 2025, I expect it to only get unfathomably bad and just want some sure-fire cheap entertainment at home if I ditch unessential stuff.I know DVDS are so old school at this point, but it's worth having a collection to fall back on.I'm currently done with adding to my collection, but I plan to buy Original Sin (and the other one that is in the works) when the time comes.

Most unusual show I've watched in a long while
Having ignored crime shows for years (burn out) I never watched Dexter. Bored one day I decided to watch an episode when I found it on Netflix. I started watching almost with a sense of dread. Just another boring crime show with the same . . crime, chase, catch . . story line. By the third episode I was hooked. So different was the plot, the acting by all characters was awesome, story so engaging, unexpected twists and turns, characters with human frailties.The show was like nothing I had ever watched. I'm not easily impressed. I found myself feeling uneasy when I realized I was quietly rooting for a serial killer but glad when the bad guy was taken down. You find yourself watching a crime show from a viewpoint you have never experienced before. Besides the regular cast there is an unexpected entrances of incredible guest stars who elevated the story line even more. Over the next few weeks I watched the entire series. If you are looking for a different kind of crime show with incredible acting, story and plot . . this is it. The shows uniqueness reminded me of watching Hill Street Blues the first time yet . . completely different . . but with characters/story lines that you remember to this day.A few days ago I heard about the Dexter: New Blood series. On doing a search I found this Dexter: The Complete Series + Dexter: New Blood release. Knowing I wanted to see the "New Blood" series I asked myself "Will I ever watch the original series again?". My answer was . . yes at some point . . so I decided to get this release in case the series became scarce in a few years. I decided to pay the extra $20 and go with the Blu-ray release. If you like unusual crime dramas, 8 seasons + an extra final season the price is well worth it IMHO.The one negative I have is the disk case. On opening the container I found some of the disks loose and floating freely. I carefully placed each of the disks back in their location. Later in the day I decided to check a few disks to confirm they were not damaged. It was extremely hard to get a disk to release from the case. The central clipping design made it very hard to disengage the disks. The case also seemed to have a feel of brittleness to it. I'm concerned over time it will eventually fail.My solution was to find my ancient, half empty box of DVD sleeves. I labeled each sleeve (i.e. Dexter: Season 1 Disk 1 of 3) and carefully removed all disks from the original container. Again, I was surprised at how difficult it was to get the disks to release. Getting the disks out, while engaged in the show, would have been difficult. Also, season disks are located under other disks, sometime three deep. Do I put the top disks on a table while I watch the disk under them or put them back in the container out of order??The entire collection is now safely stored, each in a protective sleeve, in a small metal container received at Xmas. I can easily access every disk without danger of scratching or breakage. I'll keep the original packaging stored away.I can recommend these sleeves or similar for the storage job -DVD Paper Sleeves - https://www.amazon.com/Memorex-01961-Paper-Sleeves-White/dp/B000086EYG

Fantastic Video Quality, Terrible Packaging
I recently binge watched the whole series on Netflix, and given New Blood wasn't on there and I was going to have to buy that season anyways, I figured I'd just buy this box set given its good price. I haven't gone through all of the discs, but I did pick a few out at random to get an overall gauge of the quality, and I can say it holds up very well; even the early seasons are not overly grainy and are quite good-looking. Audio quality is also good, nothing super crazy but about what you would expect from a standard blu ray disc. This series is easily already one of my favorite shows with the First season especially being a very enjoyable watch. Where this product in particular loses a Star is simply due to the packaging, The show is a 5 star show in my opinion, but the plastic holding the discs is cheap and is chipping away already from just pulling the discs out for the first time. The discs are also stacked on-top of each other in a pretty inconvientent way that would make binge watching a bit annoying. All things considered, for what is more than 100 hours of good TV I can say its still a good purchase even with the poor packaging in mind, well worth the money if you are someone who likes to keep physical media.
