AVOID THIS SET.
This was the Amazon Choice for Justified? Who did the choosing? As usual Amazon had it to me in a couple of days. I had stopped buying the individual seasons after season 4 when I decided that I'd wait for the inevitable deluxe box set. Finally got around to it. Checked out the top option. Although I usually go for the sets with the booklets I felt that I couldn't "justify" $156. just so that I could get the flask. So, since Amazon rated it highly I patted myself on the back and dropped down to the $56 version. I was disappointed by the cheap packaging, which was already broken when I opened the box. The thin plastic extrusion was never going to last. Then the system for storing the discs, all of them just stacked in the broken sleeve, is about as organized as dropping them into a shoe box. Now, I know that I am an obsessive, that nicely designed packaging appeals to me, (The Columbia "Complete Miles Davis" series, studio and "bootleg" deserve high points), but in the end it is about the content. So, I put my negative feelings aside and settled down to enjoy re-watching the entire series. Finally, that straw, the one on the camel's back. The damn discs have resolution which appears as if it were shot on a cheap cell phone from an out of calibration flat screen. I only gave this one star because there isn't an option for no stars. I'm sending it back. I'd like to duct tape it to a brick and send it back through someone's window...but whose? I've now become "justified" in buying the deluxe package. I'll enjoy the booklet. The clean organization of the discs, and the flask...oh I don't know, I'll find some use for it.
