The second disc only plays certain episodes. It's very annoying! and I am not happy with this dvd at all!! I will never buy used again.

4/5 A short but just as sweet season of Carrie and friends
  by Joseph P. Menta, Jr. (Philadelphia, PA USA)
The fifth season of the vastly entertaining "Sex and the City" features eight funny, sexy, and occasionally poignant episodes of New York chic-ness. In other words, if you've seen the previous seasons, there's no reason not to keep plowing ahead to the series' big close in season six (well, the big close until the movie that eventually followed). And contrary to some of the comments here on Amazon, season five is indeed priced lower than the other seasons due to its shorter length. To be fair, maybe the price reduction is a recent development. In any event, you can use the money you save to help spring for a good Chardonnay to sip while watching the girls confront dating troubles, baby issues (Miranda's little Brady sure is a cutie, endless crier or not), and engage in a memorable debate about whether Nathan Lane's lounge act piano player is gay or not. All frothy and all fun. After all, you can't just watch Henry VIII execute people on "The Tudors" all the time, as fun as fun as that can be, too.

2/5 Rip off...

The fifth season was not good at all...can you say boring? And the lack of episodes for the price is unfair. BOOOO!

5/5 the darkest and therefore misunderstood season
  by G.Fowler
i completely 100% love the fifth season of sex and the city. true it is extremely short and overpriced but the 8 episodes are pure gold. A lot of the reviewers bemoaned the fact that this season suffers from a lack of laughs and is more serious and the characters feel unlike themselves. I tell those reviewers to take a closer look at the end of season 4, the journeys and behaviours of the four leads is completely truthful and relatably to real life after where we left them last. They are all burnt out, they have all had there hearts broken yet again and now they have realised that they are no longer as young as they once were and therefore feel terrified by the fact that they are still alone. I felt most for Carrie in this season, true she acts selfish towards some of friends at times in this season but she is so afraid of what will happen next after all that has happened - the breakup with Aiden and the departure of Big, that she reverts completely into herself and attempts to keep her friends static around her, as is witnessed in 'Luck be an old lady'. The other characters too experiences emotions that are unlike anything that has come before them. As Charlotte points out ot Miranda in the previous season just before Brady's birth that 'she needs to start letting people in' Miranda feels the full force of that this season when she attempts to balance both her social life with her family life and like Carrie fears what will come next. Charlotte is forced to confront the fact that her Mister Perfect fantasy of a husband was not a fantasy but turned into a nightmare, and that she must finally look elsewhere for the love and intimacy she desires so much. Samantha feels she loses a part of her identity upon opening herself to Richard and being burnt because of it, but it is only when we fall down do we stand up and learn how to be stronger as she learns in the final episode.
This season represent a bridge between the fun wild days of the first four season and the more adult and mature world of the sixth season and movie. It also shows that to move on we must standup by ourselves and move forward into whatever murky future lies ahead because only through that do we grow as human beings.
