Any sites online show this?

It's on now TV at the moment. Think it's sky Atlantic or similar.

Fantastic series - will watch it again and again...

Try this link instead.
Edit: Mod has corrected OP’s link.

Having done this exact same thing (at Music Magpie I think) about 3 years ago, you should expect at least 2 of the 5 boxsets to arrive in shocking condition (dirty, scratched, broken spindles, etc). Really, for a show this good, you should shell out a few more pounds for the Blu-ray complete boxset. (edited)

Superb price for the greatest TV show ever made. Heat.

Digital downloads tend to have DRM which rules them out for me. I like to be able to watch wherever I like, and convert to other formats when required.

Plus as you say the discs are often cheaper.

Second greatest obvs.

Yup. The Shield obviously takes the top spot

brilliant show. I agree, get the blu-ray

Don't buy 5 series up front until you've tried a few episodes- a lot of people struggle to get into it (idk why!). If you dig it then get the blu rays.

Not many people have watched The Shield. Thought it was excellent.

DVD and blu-ray releases are shown in different aspect ratios. I actually prefer the blu-ray version, but a lot of die hards don't like the differences in it.

My advice... do like me and buy both!

Have done! Blu-ray looks so much better, and to be honest, didn’t really notice the aspect ratio change. I’m not particularly precious about things like that. The only time it’s ever bothered me is in the interview segments of the World At War Blu-ray release.

Yes full seasons are available just now but their library changes all the time.

As long as the discs read, who cares? Just watch/rip them and sell them on. These used disc companies are basically a rental service.

Having said that, I think I'd wait for a deal on the HD version.

I had this on blu ray as a lend from a mate and the quality of picture wasn't great so for £14.95 I'll see what the DVD's look like upscaled.

I have the Boxset such a brilliant show and so many actors have gone on to better things. I always say they were in the Wire and Michael K Williams (Omar) died recently .

This is the best show I've ever seen, closely followed by Oz, and then Lost

I was talking about Prisoner Cell Block H
