Almost Fabulous,
By
This review is from: Absolutely Fabulous: Complete Series 4 (DVD)
If you're a fan of the original three seasons of ABFAB like me then this fourth season might feel like a bit of a let down. It seems that all the characters have been changed in slight ways that somehow messes with the magic formula created originally. Saffy seems a bit more aggressive, Edina more cruel, patsy more alive and Gran more ditzy than ever. edina seems to have been beaten down and is ready to do things that she never wouls've dreamed of doing in the first series (dieting) and Patsy has lost that far off, dazed drugged out aspect and is now playing a dominatrix, trying to be a model and other such asprations. It makes for some funny situations, but it's doesn't quite feel like ABFAB. In no way are these shows bad, just not as fabulous as the originals. The DVD itself has terrific production qualities. The picture is widescreen and colors are bright and crisp. The menus are easy to navigate and there is pleny of bonus mterial. OF that bonus material, "Mirror Ball" is the best. It's a pilot for a series Jennifer Saunders was working on that features all the actors of ABFAB, but in different roles and in a different setting. it's quite fun to see them doing different charactes for a change. Too bad it never got picked up. My only qualm with the DVD is that the text on the character bio screen (as well as a few others), is terribly hard to read. This is a consistant problem with DVDs and why the makers of these things don't realise that we actually might want to read what they've put so much time and effort into is beyond me. For die hards, this set can't be missed, but people who are new to the show should check out the original three seasons first. Remember that sin is in darling.

AbFab at its best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Absolutely Fabulous: Complete Series 4 (DVD)
I realize I may be in the minority, but I love series 4, so much so, actually, that I'm tempted to call it my favourite series (but then I remember some of the too-brilliant-for-words earlier episodes and just can't make up my mind).The truth is, if you are expecting AbFab to pick up exactly from where it left, you'll be better off not getting your hands on series 4, because half a decade has passed and the world just isn't the same anymore. What was cool, fashionable and modern before, is now old and dated, at least for the likes of Edina who only live to keep up with the latest trends. There definitely is a huge visual contrast to what the show used to look like, but don't let that get on the way. Edina and Patsy are still at it, crazier (and also more desperate) than ever; experimenting with parralox, dieting with detox, popping pills, going after men, all the while trying to avoid getting old. All I can say is give it a go and see what you think. I think it's absolutely fabulous.

WHY DOES AMERICA MISS OUT?,

This review is from: Absolutely Fabulous: Complete Series 4 (DVD)
You need to see this - it's crass, rude, sarcastic, blatant, disgusting and above all, one of the funniest things on this planet. This series marks the comeback from the original series and it's better than ever. If you've ever seen the series, you know what to expect. But if you don't want to buy the boxset just yet, start with this. It will give you a great foundation of this show and what to expect from these two hilarious actresses/characters. Want to laugh your butt off? This show basically is what you wish your mom would be like.
