Volume 2 is simply phenomenal, a must have for anyone who enjoyed these on ESPN. Volume 2 contains most of my favorites from the 30 for 30 series. "The Two Escobars" and "Once Brothers" are chilling and well done. The film on SMU was also very entertaining, it's amazing how they kept getting caught and just kept on cheating! These should all win Emmy Awards, they are fantastic.

Favorite on this set is The Two Escobars. If you buy both sets it's only like 70 dollars for 30 full length (1 or 2 might be closer to an hour) documentaries. Great deal!
