It Gets Better,
By
This review is from: Without A Trace: The Complete First Season (DVD)
This is the best show I almost missed. When I watched the pilot for "Without a Trace," I hated it. The lighting was too dark, the actors mumbled their lines, and the background music was too loud to hear what they were mumbling.I tried it again a few weeks later. It was like watching a different show! The lighting was brighter, and you could understand what the actors were saying. After a few episodes, "Without a Trace" became one of my favorites. The writing is excellent and has to be. The narrow format (a person disappears, the FBI team investigates, and what happened is revealed) requires that the characters that vanish must be interesting--and they are! They also do a good job of varying the ending. Some weeks, the missing person is found and reunited with his or her family, and other weeks, the ending isn't so happy. However, the best episodes on these disks are the ones that break the format. The 2-part episode that concludes Season 1, involving a hostage situation involving one of the agents, is one of the most suspenseful TV episodes I've ever seen. The episode in which Anthony LaPaglia's character is under investigation by the Internal Affairs-like division is not that far behind. The actors are outstanding, especially Anthony LaPaglia as Jack Malone. I invite people to watch him on this show, then watch him play Jane Leeves' drunken brother, Simon, when the later episodes of "Frasier" come out. You will not believe the same actor is playing both characters. Poppy Montgomery is also excellent. How can any character named Samantha Spade not be interesting? She can question me any time. Anyone who hasn't seen these shows should definitely check out these DVDs.

Best Crime/Drama/Mystery Show Out There!,

This review is from: Without A Trace: The Complete First Season (DVD)
Getting a copy of this awsome series was the best investment I've ever made! Each episodes deals with different types of unthinkable subjects, sometimes even taboo but always within good taste. It always has great suspense and is unpredictable. Anthony LaPaglia as Jack Malone is so talented in his role-play! For that matter, the whole cast is wonderful and fun to watch.In my opinion, it rules higher than CSI or Law & Order. That tells a lot...!

Amazing,

This review is from: Without A Trace: The Complete First Season (DVD)
This show has become one of my favourites of all time. I love watching how the different charactures interact with each other just as much as the individual cases that they investigate. Any show that makes me cry at the end is a keeper.
