The Best of Friends, Vols. The best things about TV shows are usually more theatrical than cinematic, with story, dialogue, characters and acting taking center stage. The Sopranos scores high in all those aspects. In addition, the series, shot on film and presented here in an anamorphic transfer, is filled with striking, mood-enhancing compositions.
Friends makes the perfect, reliably funny, chill-pill antidote.
So it really isn't a problem that this two-DVD set is The Best of Friends, Vols. Personally, I'd rather have the extra laughs than the minimal plot development. The DVD transfer handles the minimal challenges well. Run the next episode already. Further sections of their conversation are seen in a 77-minute featurette that goes to some interesting places.
