5/5 Hill Street Blus-Season 2
  by Mike A (Tucson, AZ)
Fans of Hill Street Blues will not be disappointed. Hill Street shows the gritty day to day life of the inner city in the early 80's. Its not a video like special effects police show like many are today. The ensemble cast creates many sub-plots which take the show in different directions and create a fast moving show. The only disappointment is the remaining seasons aren't on video and when you get to the last episodes of season 2 you feel a sense of loss.

5/5 The best series not released in entirety
  by Gregory A. Moorehead (New Brunswick, NJ USA)
I never watched "Hill Street Blues" when it originally aired. A couple of years ago, I bought the first, and then the second season of "Hill Street Blues" from Amazon.com.; and I've never been more sorry that I did not watch a show during its original run. As they used to say, "you know from the opening musical score, that you're watching something special". I believe that one of the reasons "Hill Street Blues" was such a hit and still holds up so well, is because it was cast with real people, not caricatures. Unlike earlier series of this genre, viewers had ample opportunity to explore the personal and often flawed lives of the characters. The appeal of this series lies in its lack of convention. "Hill Street Blues" was one of the first series to use the "hand-held camera" technique, enhancing the dramatic authenticity. From the filthy streets, to the dangling storylines, to the popular characters killed off, "Hill Street Blues" gave viewers an unpolished look at the lives and work of police in the least glamorous of settings. The Season Two DVD set comes with a cardboard outer sleeve featuring the artwork, and series title and series synopsis. Inside the cardboard sleeve are two of the familiar, thin, plastic, clam-like disc holders. On the backside of the disc holders is a listing of the episode titles and synopsis. Discs 1 & 2, are in one holder, and disc three is in the other. The discs are double-sided. The menu allows you to preview episodes. Hill Street Blues was a huge critical and commercial success during its original run, particularly during the earlier seasons. When you consider some of the marginal shows which have been released in their entirety, you have to wonder why one the best shows in television history does not merit better treatment.

It was good, better than Season 1. You have to remember this is an old series.
