Winning the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series four years in a row, The West Wing was a huge critical and commercial hit. Thewas an incredibly written show taking place in the White House that kept viewers entertained for its entire seven-season run from 1999 to 2006. Now the 28-disc The West Wing: Complete Series Blu-ray has been released, giving fans a chance to own the whole series in HD.
“The West Wing ventured where no other TV series had gone before: an extraordinarily intimate look at an American President and the inner workings of the White House. Experience all the crises, triumphs, lofty idealism, and hard realities of the acclaimed series that won 26 Emmys, including 4 for Outstanding Drama Series,” says the description.
While the show is entertaining for its entire run, there’s no doubt that it peaked with the first four seasons, which focused on Rob Lowe’s Sam Seaborn. Season 5 would feature a creative shakeup as Sorkin, main director Thomas Schlamme, and Lowe all left. John Wells did a good job of taking over as head writer, though, with the final two seasons featuring a very entertaining election storyline after a slightly bumpy transition period.
While a lot of complete collections don’t feature many special features, that isn’t the case here. There are over 20 commentaries across the seven seasons, and each season has behind-the-scenes featurettes . There are two really solid documentaries included as well, so you’re getting a lot to chew on either as you go along or after you wrap up your rewatch.
It’s also worth noting that the packaging for The West Wing: Complete Series Blu-ray is quite nice. Housed in a sturdy box sits two separate Blu-ray volumes, with the first four seasons in one and then the final three in the other. Some other complete collections put them all in one case, which can be quite unwieldy and this is a far better alternative.The West Wing: Complete Series Blu-ray is an easy recommendation for fans of the legal drama.
