4.0 out of 5 stars Another Worthwhile Canadian TV Series, Nov 5 2011

By

This review is from: The Collector: The Complete Season One (DVD)

I'm the type of guy who likes anything having to do with the supernatural and science fiction, so when I read a decent review about "The Collector", I decided to jump right in and see for myself. I'm no stranger to Canadian television. My favorites include "Forever Knight", "First Wave", "Stargate SG1" and "Todd and the Book of Pure Evil."

I have to say, the acting is pretty good and the plots are engaging. There's enough character development without depth to make me want to care but no more than that. Some of the "clients" can be annoying when they are faced with the choice between eternal damnation and salvation. They think the completion of their Earthly mission has more weight than redemption. Go figure.

One of my favorite scenes is when Satan takes the form of a little girl, played by Jodelle Ferland, and says to Morgan Pym, with an annoyed look her face while holding a doll, "He's nothing but a poopy head."

I'm disappointed the show only lasted three seasons. Some shows should end on the third but this wasn't one of them. If I had to take a guess, "The Collector" became another victim of mindless comedies that dominate the airwaves.

If you're interested in a show that does the opposite of "The Collector", see "Brimstone". It's about a former cop who has to return 113 evil souls back to hell. John Glover (Lex Luthor from Smallville)portrays the Devil.

4.0 out of 5 stars SEASON 1 IS DEFECTIVE ALSO!!!, April 13 2012

This review is from: The Collector: The Complete Season One (DVD)

I've been reading how the season 2 discs freeze up. Well, my Season one discs do too. Each one freezes at the halfway point of the third episode, where the discs change layer. As the discs are poorly made (no chapters at all), it simply goes back to the menu. There is absolutely no way to get back to the second half of the episodes.

Morningstar Entertainment which made the discs has apparently been bought out by Knightscove Media and email to them using the address on their website bounces. As I bought these over a year ago on the Amazon marketplace, I have no way to return them to the vendors. I am out of luck.

Besides the defective discs, the cases are crappy too. No outer cover, just cheap cardboard. And on top of that, the artwork includes the 2nd actress to play Maya (in seasons 2 & 3) rather than Carly Pope who was in Season 1.

That said, the show (from what I've seen of it) is terrific. Sort of like Joan of Arcadia meets Highway to Heaven, but via Hell.

Quality of set: 0 out of 5 stars.
Quality of show: 4 out of 5.

Wish this would get picked up and released in the US, especially season 3 which is not out at all.

Excellent fantasy series, Bought season 1, and waiting to buy season 2. Hopefully Season 3 will be out soon. An item of note is that season 1 is not listed as such on amazon.ca
