NBC's Tragic Mistake

Reviewed by Harold Edward Wills, 2009-10-21

This is definitely an extremely well conceived, writen, casted, produced, acted and profoundly entertaining series...no wonder NBC cancelled it!

It's a Shame...

It's a shame that this show was canceled after just one season, it was so well made, and very unique. I love Boomtown!

You won't be sorry

A stellar addition to the category of "Why did they cancel that show but let ..... (insert any number of silly shows here) survive?", Boomtown is second only to "Homicide: Life on the Streets" as a quality production. I am so grateful to be able to revisit these episodes. The writing is fantastic; characters complex; there is comparatively little on-screen violence, relying largely on character development. The framework of the episodes is one in which the plot is seen from the viewpoint of selected characters and gives a "Rashomon"-like structure; the resolution of the story is usually genuinely unexpected and (I hate to get all sappy on you, but it's true) uplifting.

A wonderful show that deserved more

Reviewed by Nickie, 2009-05-31

Truly, I think this is one of the best shows not only to come out of NBC, but to ever be put on the air. The creators took a familiar setting - cops and lawyers piecing together the puzzle of the crime - and gave it new life with an understanding from everyone's personal point of view. The entire cast was wonderful, the writing was wonderful, and it still baffles me how something like this could be taken off the air so quickly. I came to the show for Donnie Wahlberg (long after my favorite New Kid stopped singing, I followed), but I stayed for the whole package. A must-own boxset, and you'll also be asking the question of why it was ever cancelled.

Good

Just like everything I buy from Amazon if its used and the description says Good condition it might as well be new. I love it!
