Summary: Bashful's DVD Summary #005
Review: Best:1) Charlotte gets wilder (and even flashes a breast in the very first episode).
2) There's writer/director commentaries on 3 episodes (from two feminine males).
3) Samantha's knowledge of vibrators is absolutely hilarious in episode 6. Worst: 1) There were only 8 episodes in this season - enough said.
2) Too much time was spent on dreary emotional issues and forced sentimentality.
3) There was no good nudity or hot sex scenes (and Samantha was just a big tease). Recommendation: The high retail price and low overall amount of humor or sex are big reasons to NOT recommend this season. If you have seasons 1-4 already and you can get this one for LESS than half price (used), consider adding it to the mix ONLY if you're a HUGE Charlotte fan and a complete SATC fanatic. Otherwise, wait until season 6 and don't feel bad.

Summary: For Diehards Only
Review: The fifth season DVD collection is a lot like sex in the fifth year of marriage...You're only getting half what you used to for the same amount of money, and what you're getting is pretty uninspired. The fifth season is an easily skipped set. This collection is really only for the diehard fans that must have the entire series complete in their collections (which unfortunately includes me). Don't waste your money otherwise.

Summary: Sex and the City Season 5
Review: I dont have HBO so i have to rely on the seasons coming out on DVD and i was disappointed on how many episodes were on each disc. I asked for the set for Christmas and felt bad for my boyfriend for spending so much money on almost nothing. I love Sex and the City but not for 40 bucks. I agree they are worth renting, not buying. Not much really happened and i would have been better off saving money and waiting until the 6th season comes out.

Summary: A Complete Scam
Review: This is a joke. I still do not understand why HBO didn't combine season 5 with season 4 and have it be a 4 disc collection. To charge $30 + for this abbreviated season is a complete scam. I think I will wait until they release the box set to get season 5 on DVD - I recorded it and can watch the video if I feel I need to see these forgettable episodes again.

Summary: Only 2 Discs
Review: I'm always happy with Sex and the City. However this time I was very disappointed that the price for season 5 remained the same as the previous seasons, but only has 8 episodes and 2 discs. I feel the price should have been more in the $24.99 price range to be fair. I realize it was a short season, but a third disc could have been made with some behind the scene's footage or something along those lines to make me feel better about paying $32.49 for only 2 dvd's.

Summary: Great Season
Review: Despite the shortness of the season I still found this to be one great season! I had the impression it was more of a recollection of all the previous seasons. Nothing really significant in the movie apart from Bradie's birth. The rest well.... It is nice ( like Carrie getting published ) but I felt it more like a culmination of life goals in the girls lives. Reaching that high ( or low depending on your point of view ) point in life. Fearing to sound a bit contradictive, this season reflects of the deepest joy as well as the biggest despair. The girls becoming to some extent content with their fate and letting it all go. In some specific details I found Miranda to be insanely sexy despite her rounded body ;) .. Charlotte going wild with "hairy" ... Samantha and the cantelope breakdown totally losing it! .. and Carrie starved "Big" time. Hands down more worth it then season 3 and 4. Defenitely a season I'll be watching repeteadly ( like I do for season 1 and 2 .. and not 3 / 4 cause they just .. well .. no comment ). Oh and lastly, I don't know if it's just my misperception but I did find this season to be a little to "grainy" at times, but some shots and camera traveling was much more studied then previous seasons which I highly enjoyed. ( Sorry about the little boring technical details ;) )

Summary: An HBO Cash Cow
Review: HBO has found a cash cow with these girls, which I think is why it released this pathetic attempt at a season for the same price as a regular length season. These scant 8 episodes are not engrossing and the writing is rather poor. The full bodied wit and the quality of the first four seasons is conspicuously absent here. I don't know if the writers are burned out or what, but each of these episodes is just, well, "off" for some reason. Overall, this box set (if you can even call it that) is not a good value, even if you are a fan of the series (which I am).

Summary: Might be worth a rental?
Review: I absolutely love "Sex and the City", but 8 mediocre episodes for over $30 is a crime. I admit that i was very excited to watch season 5 as I had been watching all of the episodes on DVD only. However, the fact that season 5 is only 8 episodes, still costs $32, and just didn't have the same freshness and unique feel as the first four seasons was a major disappointment. Something is just missing all around here. If you are worried about missing something, rent it, otherwise, wait for season 6.

Summary: Funny and worth the price
Review: This set of DVDs is great. I love the character development. The writing isn't as great as the first four seasons were, but hey, these girls are quirky and strange, and that's what we like about them, right? As for the price, I truly cannot understand why so many people on here seem to be complaining about it. At around $35 for two discs with 4 episodes each (that's two hours worth of programming each, not counting audio commentaries), it's only about $15-20 per disc, which is pretty much EXACTLY within the range of every other popular release DVD for the same amount of material. Just because HBO offered more programming for less previously, doesn't mean the pricing for this set is "extortion." It's standard.
