Your Opinions and Comments
It`s more than that, actually. The characters have somewhat matured, and to top it all, the scripts are far superior to those from the first two seasons.
The video transfer is very good. There are no compression signs to be seen and the picture is clear of any defects.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is very good. The surrounds are used occasionally, but nothing too overwhelming.
The menus are brilliantly animated with sound.
The extras include a commentary for each episode by the series creators, several deleted scenes, multi-language clips, some trivia facts, several bloopers, a picture gallery, a couple of commercials and some storyboards.
Bottom line - out of the first three series, this is definately the best. Highly recommended.
