Sex and the City - The Complete Fifth Season

Rating:
Summary: Season 5 is not so bad!
Review: Before writing my review, I read many of the already written reviews (mostly negative I might add) and I watched all 8 episodes of Season 5. Relax...if you are a die hard Sex and the City fan, stop obsessing over the price. As for Season 5, I think it was better than worse. Could it have been better...sure; but it could've been a lot worse. So the girls weren't "men-obsessed" like the usual seasons. This season allowed the girls to look deep into their "single-selves." Being single and all alone sucks, and this season showed that. Everyone gets lonely, so it was inevitable that our favorite and fabulous girls were bound to feel the brunt of our pain. In this season we seem to get deeper into the character lives. We find out what fuels their passion, love, and desire..it's just a matter of whether or not their tank is full! The only problem I had with this season was Carrie's clothes. I know she was prego and all, but come on! Her fashion sense is what drives this show. This season consisted of too many long and short tunic like frocks! Sure they were designers like Juicy...but a designer frock is still a frock! HBO could've at least beefed up her accessories with infamous purses or shoes! As for the rest...Carrie hearts NY and I heart Sex and the City!

Summary: Less Sex and Less City
Review: If you like the show then you'll appreciate this set. The episodes are still good in the 5th Season. The problem is that there are ONLY 8 episodes. So you are paying the same price for half the quanity. Even if you think the quality is still there it's not worth the price considering what else you can get. Lower the price to $20 or less and then I'd give it 5 stars. Don't make this your first season to buy.

Summary: RIP-OFF
Review: Only 8 episodes for $32.49 - WHAT A RIP-OFF. Mind you the episodes were OK, but not as good as the first four seasons. However, the price per episode is very high. I'd think twice before buying a wait for the sixth season.

Review: I hope Sarah Jessica Parker is happy with herself...She just screwed her fans with this DVD...I paid 40 bucks for 8 episodes...What a ripoff...Money-grubbing-Wh*re...

Summary: Great for true fans
Review: There has been talk that season 5 sucked, but that is only for the superficial fans wanting just sex and no depth or humour behind it. The 4 main characters (Charlotte, Carrie, Samantha, and Miranda) really grow and the season is irreverent, funny, touching, and all actors are fabulous!!! I watched all 8 episodes and was left yearning for more!!!

Summary: I thought it was awesome!
Review: I have watched every single episode and this is by far my favorite season. It was a very honest portrayal of being single and dealing with relationships. Obviously some people can't handle the reality of it and have to insult it, but if these people spent any time living single in a cosmopolitan, big city like New York they would realize that these situations actually happen and the dialogue was genuine and honest. Maybe Samantha isn't the most developed character, but I do know some people a lot like her. I think most of these reviews are pissed off about the fact that they only got 2 DVD's instead of the usual 3. I say quality over quantity. Maybe if you can't relate, you won't like it. I certainly could relate, and thought it was very powerful and moving. Can't wait for season 6.

Summary: Was this set their idea of a paid vacation??!!
Review: I couldn't wait to get season five. Got it in, and expected at least 12 episodes. I saw only 2 dics and thought there must be another one somewhere! How disappointing!! You would think that they would at least charge less for this DVD than all the others, considering there is less on it. With only 8 episodes to watch, I feel very shorted. This season just didn't do it for me, how long till season 6??!

Rating:
Summary: Very Under-rated!!
Review: I have read other reviews on here and reluctantly bought this DVD because all "Sex and the City" fans, pretty much, seem to agree that this season was big fat mess at worst or a waste of time at best. Although I don't appreciate HBO jacking up the price either, I found this season great. No there weren't grand dramatic story arcs like usual, but this needed to happen to these characters. ANd two of the lead actresses were pregnant!!For once, they aren't really dealing with the current guy in their life and focusing on other things. I have been keeping pace with this show with the DVD releases, so god knows when season 6 will be out, but beyond the extravagant price and annoying lag time between seasons on DVD, I recommend this season wholeheartedly for any true fan.

Summary: Refreshing change
Review: Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the first four seasons of SATC, but I think people are being much too harsh with the fifth season. I thought it was refreshing to see the women somewhat less focused on finding men and more intensely exploring their single selves. Instead of seeing the series as flat and dull, as so many seem to, I feel like it's really growing up and coming into its own. Miranda's new motherhood is fascinating to me (granted, I'm pregnant with my first child,) and seeing Samantha actually embarrassed by one of her indiscretions gives me a new respect for her character. Actually BEING ALONE is an important part of being single, and I'm glad the writers, producers, or whomever, chose to include some focus on that part of the women's lives.
Yes, the season was abbreviated, which is indeed disappointing, but if that's problem for you, either rent it or buy it at Target. I only paid $29.99 there.

Rating:
Summary: Don't buy it.
Review: Same price for fewer episodes and flaky writing. Bottom line: unless you're a die-hard SATC fan, rent it.
