In reply to Necro. That's why, most of the time, when I am holding the DVD in my hand in the store, I typically wind up checking on my phone if there is a BluRay version available before I buy it. What I hate is when it turns out that the Blu is "exclusive" to one store for a limited time, so it doesn't come up on my search.

In reply to Necro. Sadly so. Their special Comic-Con edition was dvd only.

In reply to Simon Allen. I think he just had all these bases he wanted to touch and he just went through the numbers touching them. It was a bit of an anti-climax but I didn't out and out hate it as you did.

I just wish they could have made it interesting at least as i had enjoyed the previous two seasons so much after a bit of a wobbly start …..i can take most entertainment crimes ya know but being bored is just intolerable .

In reply to Satanzilla.

If that was the case surely squashing the two seasons into one would have resulted in it being action packed and story dense not dull and boring .
I got the feeling they were told …”wrap this up and here is a quarter of your previous budget ” .

In reply to Simon Allen.

It wasn’t that bad imo although there were things I didn’t like about it.

My sense is that they weren’t prepared for the sudden ending of the show, which was envisioned all along as a five season show, so they had to rush to wrap it up.

In reply to The Drucifer.

There’s a blu-ray version of season 3 at Amazon.co.uk. You’d need a region 2 player and be ok spending a bit though.

Why does it seem like they are giving up on Blu Ray?

Fargo season 3 is only being released on DVD too.

Are they not selling enough?

In reply to CJ Southworth. Yep totally agree! Yeah I hate half DVD and half Blu-ray, there's also been instances where I've bought a film on DVD and literally 2 days later find it on Blu-ray (preferred), and I'm like Fuck!

The final season was such a HUGE disappointment …..it just smacked of a cut budget and padding . It was such a let down as the previous 2 seasons were so good .
Too much focus on one of the most horrible kids in horror (the dreadful Zack ) .
It just ended up being cheap and lazy, most of the direction just stank and in some ways it would have been better if they hadn’t bothered than insulted us with this big old mess .
More like a big “fuck off” than a “thank you for watching” .

In reply to Necro. I was wondering the same myself, since there was no blu for season three. I haven't bought the series yet, and I'd love it if they did a full box in Blu Ray, since i hate having a series in half of one and half the other, but I don't want to opt for DVD when there is a blu option just for uniformity. (First world problems.) If someone is paying for a full box set, you'd think the argument could be made they are the target market for blu ray editions.

In reply to Francisco Javier Pérez Olivare. Yeah the show reminded me of how Banshee went out, great build up throughout the first few seasons and then a limp final season culminating in an underwhelming finale. Shame really, because it was my guilty pleasure.

In reply to Necro. Probably not...they dumped blu support for 3 and 4.

I’m assuming that’s Blu-ray as well?

Great series! Although the ending was kinda of a letdown.
