Negative Positive
Title: I like the show, but this dvd set is badly produced.
Review: Do not pay full price for Mentalist Season 3.The first two seasons of this show's dvds are perfectly satisfactory. Season 3, however, is the most poorly produced dvd I have ever seen. Horrible pixellation/rastering in the image, like a second-generation VHS copy. It looks better on regular broadcast television. The menu screen looks totally normal, but the episodes themselves are blurry, twitchy, and unwatchable.I suspect that these are not dual-layer discs, but single-layer. To save a bit on production, they compressed the digital info to fit on the cheap discs.Marvelling at this botched, sub-bootleg production, I realized that the industry is douchily declaring their intention to abandon the DVD in favor of Blu-ray.My copy, luckily, was also defective, in that two discs of the five were unplayable, so I got a refund.
Is the review positive or negative?
