Title: Is this as good as it gets?
Product review: Being very late to the DVD game, I wanted to be choosy about my first purchases. I wanted to repay the "Buffy" crew for years of great TV, and made Season One my first DVD(s).The show was broadcast on a grainy UHF station, and I thought I would be thrilled by the qualiity picture. Well, I was stunned alright.I now miss that grainy picture I was used to. At least the "fuzz" moves with the characters. On this DVD it just lingers there, distracting me, slightly, from the action.And the shadows are a little cartoonish looking.Unless I read very convincing reviews praising the picture quality of later seasons' DVD's, I'll wait a few years to buy any more of this series, when digital transfer technology has improved. I assume "Angel" DVD's will be similar.From now on, I'll only read professional reviews, like Sound & Vision magazine.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
