Rating: - One of my all-time favorite TV shows
I used to love "Crime Story" when it was on TV and was both disappointed and disgusted when the show ended as it did (those of you who know, probably agree). Not since "The Untouchables" had a crime drama dealt with organized crime and the cops who bust them in such a compelling way. But where Robert Stack's Ness was stoic, straight, and incorruptable, Farina's Turillo is willing to do whatever it takes to nab his prey, blurring the line between who he is, a cop, and those whom he pursues, the criminal.
Well, now I own the first season of the show and can enjoy it as much as I like. Watching it on DVD reminds me of how great the film really was, how it captured the mood of an era - and it just wasn't period music being played in the background.
Dennis Farina's cop against Anthony Dennison's hood is a great story of near epic proportions as Turillo's obsession in busting Ray Lucca finally consumes him. Thinking about it, could the series have ended any other way? (No, this is not a spoiler, consider it a tease).
What can I say? If you love crime dramas - this is the show for you. Even if you don't love crime dramas, you might find this a pleasant surprise. It's good TV, good story telling, and reminds one of what TV can do when it really tries.
Can that Michael Mann (Miami Vice, Last of the Mohicans, Heat) tell a story or what?
Rating: - Best Cop Show Ever
Best cop show ever on TV, period. Except this isn't really a TV show. It's really a film masquerading as a TV show. This program has it all: flawless directing, exquisite camera work, sublime acting, superb music. Dennis Farina as Lt. Turello makes Clint Eastwood look like a little girl, while Anthony Denison as Ray Luca is the epitome of Machiavellian evil. I gave Seasons One and Two to my husband as a Valentine's gift, and a month later, he's still watching. It's the gift that keeps on giving!

In one word Crime Story is "Brilliant".When you realise what the majority of the cast have accomplished since,it was a starting point for many of the most acclaimed actors of our time! A must see!
Rating: - Love this series
Crime Story was, and is, one of the best shows that TV has ever had...it was so underrated in it's day. So happy to own this box set. A must have for Crime Story lovers!
