5.0 out of 5 stars Don't even pretend you don't like it, May 20 2005

This review is from: The Pretender: The Complete First Season (DVD)

All accounts indicate this release of "The Pretender" on DVD is the best yet. The French fans got Season 1 with no special features...this edition has multiple commentaries and featurettes!! Not that you would need any bonus features to fully appreciate what great value you are getting with this package because all by itself it is good enough! Actors Michael T. Weiss, Andrea Parker, Jon Gries and Patrick Bachau shine in Season 1 of The Pretender. Michael T. Weiss as Jarod is the perfect genius who is on the run, but still manages to find time to help others. Michael's dramatic range is on full display as he slips into a new role for each episode. He's definitely "The Pretender." Andrea Parker (Less than Perfect/ABC) as Miss Parker is perfect as the head of the team who leads the chase for the genius, Jarod. She is explosive, unapologetic, beautiful and dangerous. And yet, you don't know the half of her! You will fall in love with Andrea's smouldering portrayal of Miss Parker. Patrick Bachau as Sydney and Jon Gries as Broots add the perfect elements to balance the tension and drama that surrounds the chase for Jarod, even as the secrets to the Centre's past unfolds in every episode. The Pretender is one of the best series to ever premiere on NBC. If you have never seen it, now is your chance to own it and you will never regret it as you get drawn into the fascinating plot lines and learn more about the characters as the season unfolds.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of My Favorite TV Shows Of All Time, Mar 26 2005

Natalie P. (Mississauga, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Pretender: The Complete First Season (DVD)

This show revolves around Jarod, a genius that was kidnapped by an organization known as "The Centre" when he was a child. This organization exploited his genius for their own purposes and financial gains. Later, as an adult, Jarod escapes from "The Centre" and sets out on a mission to help others, through his ability impersonate different jobs and occupations. He also searches to find the family that he was taken from as a child. Miss Parker, Sydney and Broots lead "The Centre's" search for Jarod, hoping to eventually recapture him and return him to "The Centre".

This is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. I am excited that they have finally begun releasing this series on DVD and I can't wait for the next seasons to be released. Excellent show. Interesting, captivating plot and well acted.
