Read Reviews Before Buying! Only Worth 4⭐️* MAX
I've been watching Mutant X since I first laid eyes on it on TV when I was very little, so young that I was still in the phase of doing make believe role-playing with my cousin and friends of our favorite TV shows and movies like Pokemon, Digimon, X-Men, and then came along Mutant X. Of course me and my cousin got addicted and started doing our little make believe world of Mutant X too!! So somewhere along the lines a few years later when some Christmas came around, I got the first season of Mutant X. The good version in the HUGE case (ones where nowadays they sell separately in volumes like S1 V4). THAT was truly the good version of a complete season set coming with all your special features, HAS A HYSTERICAL COMMENTARY WITH FORBES AND VICKY ON ONE OF THE EPISODES THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST WATCH, scene selections, episode guides and names listed, closed captioning etc. Unfortunately seeing as how that was probably at least 15 plus years ago, I have since lost that one. My love and passion for Mutant X has never diminished though!! So when I saw this set I just had to get it seeing as how it was cheaper than some of the others and it's region code was #1 made viewable for the USA as some of the other MX sets are much more pricy and a lot of their codes are not R1. Well I should've read the reviews and gone with the more pricy one.Mind you, this collection is great in the sense that I finally have all 3 seasons of Mutant X and get to watch them.Pros:Decent PriceGet the entire season collectionIf you want just the basics and nothing else, don't mind not having closed captioning, episode names or selection, and your special features then this set is perfect for you. This set is seriously just the stripped down basic model.Cons:NO SPECIAL FEATURES WHATSOEVER: I'm talking nothing!!! There's not even a special features listed.NO closed captioning.NO Scene SelectionNO Episode Selection/list/names on the box or disc main menuNO Episode CommentariesFLIMSY Packaging and casing!! Be careful!!! The slip the DVDs are kept is utter crap any bending or brush against anything and it's ruined!The DVD fold out case is absolute crap!!! The pieces of plastic that hold the DVDs in place will fall out with the slightest bump, giggle or movement!!!Basically: if you're okay with having just the standard stripped down version of mutant x with nothing but the play button basically then this is the set for you!! If you're wanting the special features etc then keep on looking! Be warned if you buy this set: HANDLE THE CASING WITH CARE!Overall though: I'm just happy to be able to watch my mutant x finally season 1-3. Personal note: I will be buying a second series collection with the special features.

It's good
I don't know what a previous purchaser received to cause him to make the comments he did. I received the blu-rays and promptly checked it out. The discs were clearly labeled. They had a main menu that gives you the option of choosing subtitles (or not), individual episodes, or all episodes in a row. Something that was curious to me was the packaging. There was a carboard slip cover that held two cases. The first case was thicker than the other, holding seasons 1 and 2, while the second case held season 3. One thing the reviewer got right about the packaging. The smaller case was in about 15 pieces. I had to replace the case - not a big problem. The larger case was cracked along the top edge, but it was acceptable.I took a chance on purchasing this item and I am glad I did. this series was well worth the $24.95 I paid for it. The damaged cases is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I hope others share my experience.

Sci Fi-Martial Arts
At base a series about super-human action heroes from a comic book background. For a TV Series the special FX’s were decent given the budget at hand. On the other hand the launch of the airship the double helix uses the same footage every time. The same footage is used every time we approach Genomax and many other sequences give one a feeling of deja vu. The settings in Toronto are not readily identifiable but then most people have never been to the former Downview Airforce Base though they may have walked there for a papal visit. Scarborough Bluffs provide the setting for Sanctuary, the actual space inside is miles to the North-West. Aside from their mutant abilities all but Emma are remarkable martial artists. Their abilities mean that they don’t pack a lot of weapons.The show ended abruptly because one of its production companies fell apart ending it after 3 seasons. Tom McCamus was temporarily written out of the show to perform at Stratford. Shalimar and Brennan are the flashy characters, Jesse is the more quiet studious computer geek type who also does mechanical repairs and Emma is downright reticent. The three seasons fall in and out of availability. Aside from providing a sound track dubbed in French there are no other supplements, not even subtitles.Proving that clothes really do help make the man clad in hand me down loose-fitting dungarees held up by braces and a plaid shirt Victor Webster looks very much the country bumpkin. Even so-clad he seems to retain his sex appeal for women. And to prove it he takes off his clothes in several episodes to show off the muscles underneath and a well-honed six-pack.Watching this second season on DVD with episodes back to back one develops a sense of the tension developing between members of the team and their leader Adam. Leaders maintain their position by controlling the flow of information and the reasons for the decisions they make. Increasingly the members of the team demand a more collaborative approach; they come to resent the paternalistic, patronizing methods used on them when they were children.In the final episode we get to see them blow up the pods at Ontario Place.

Box was totally destroyed
The multiple DVD box was broken badly but amazingly the dvd's seem to have survived. It appears as if something very heavy was stacked on top of the package!

Not that great.
Show starts off okay, but the acting is definitely sub-par, character development is minimal, and plots are more than a bit cheesy. The first season is the best, and it goes rapidly downhill from there, so much so that apparently two of the main actors decided not to do the third season.Also, on my discs at least, EVERY episode has a spot where the disc skipped.
