Tru Calling: The Complete Series

to walk into this scenario is nothing short of eye opening for me that was the case as i follow this actress thru her career she seems to gravitate towards what can be rather than just what is eliza is 1st and foremost a consummate artiste in this genre her 1st outing was called dollhouse where she takes on other roles to solve plots of intrigue so when i found her recent offering i knew the actress so i felt i would know her work imagine my surprise to discover she could talk to the dead not ready for that but as you proceed down this rabbit hole you find once again that consummate artiste once more at work my hats off to those responsible but to eliza to entertain me once more with solid work

One of my wife’s favorites. She’s happy with the set so life is good

I saw one episode of this show several years ago and captivated me immediately. I liked the plot and the performances so I kept watching the series and I was upset when they canceled it.The series shows the history of Tru Davies (eliza dushku), a common girl who gets a job at the morgue and in addition to fulfilling their normal work, has the peculiar task of saving the lives of the bodies upon request. Once a corpse appears, and asks for help, Tru's Day restarts , giving her the opportunity to change the events that led to the death of that person.The secondary characters play their role exceptionally, and add a dose of humor and drama that keeps the show entertaining.The role of the villain, is well structured, in my opinion, and adds that element of mystery and at times makes us question the work of Tru.The plot may sound repetitive and silly to some, but the way it is written, makes them interesting stories that keep the viewer wanting more.The second season has an arc that would completely shake up the series. Unfortunately, we were left with the desire to see what happened.We were fortunate that FOX decided to release a version of the complete series on DVD at a no reasonable price, if you consider the the number of discs and episodes. I lasted a long time deciding whether to buy the series, since they sold it in two sets, one per season.These kind of shows makes you wonder what kind of people work in those networks , that can't realize the pottential of a particular show.If you're a fan of TRU CALLING, this is the set you should buy and if you're not, you will definitely become one.

I didn't have very high hopes for this show. I bought it for the main reasons that it was on sale when I got it, and that Joss Whedon really liked the show, and of course Eliza is very pretty, but I tend to shy away from shows because of the eye candy, and after tolerating dollhouse, I was really skeptical on her ability to carry a show with less tallented people behind the camera than would be present for Joss, and I have to tell you that though the premise is almost generic, and the scale much smaller than doll house, the execution if far better pulled off. It manages to have a lot of attention to detail which keeps your mind working, which is really cool for a kind of show that focuses on the changes the main character makes by living the second day twice. I agree with many of the other reviewers in saying that the plot twist half way through with having her nemesis, who tries to not have anything change. Where it appears to Tru that he is out to kill people, to her enemy, they are already dead, and might eventually change things for the worse, and everything happens for a reason, and uses many of the same tricks that she does, and though he definately crosses a line in the season 1 finale, but i think if the show had gone on any longer that it would have become more and more ambiguous. I don't want to ruin any of the surprises, and its a bit of a tease, but I have to say that it was worth it to watch for me, especially if you can get a good deal on it.

I hadn't seen this show before I ordered it, but I was a big fan of Eliza Dushku so I figured what the heck..Well I started watching them and was hooked, the characters were entertaining and engaging - I really liked it and watched through the whole series. Loved 'em! I think they were starting to get better and more interesting as the series progressed - then of course the show was cancelled and we were left semi-hanging.I hate it when good shows get the ax before they even get the chance to wrap up the storyline. But for that I purely blame Fox..Do yourself a favor though if you're looking for a good series to watch, this was the first series that I know of that had this kind of idea of a premise (now there's been several copy cat types):The main character Tru works in a morgue, when some of the dead start to say 'help me' and suddenly she wakes up that same morning - her day will rewind and she has to figure out how they died, who killed them, where they were and use all this to figure out how to save them from their fate.

Bought the entire series after a tip from a friend (and his wife and daughter). Only watched 4 episodes so far but I am hooked. This show is fabulous. It has the sci fi elements (dead people communicating; a full day in the life of the star being replayed, etc.) and great pacing and drama as well. The stories grab your attention right away and the acting is top notch. It's really a simple but very well thought out premise that the show is buit upon and it is very perplexing how this show could have been canceled after only 2 seasons. I'm particularly impressed with the writers as they have the time to develop the characters without affecting the storyline. The episodes seem to get better each time out which is a hallmark of a great show.I can't wait to watch the remaining 22 episodes. This show is a keeper. I highly recommend it. It is unique as it appeals to many different genre lovers (sci fi, drama, crime, investigation). Eliza Dushku is a phenomenal actress and Shawn Reaves is amazing as well. This show is TRUly deserving of 5 stars.

Excelente serie. Excelente compra; llegó antes de lo esperado en excelente estado, no estaba maltratado y hasta ahorita no me ha fallado ninguno de los discos.

This series was awesome when on telly, though I'm sure I missed the start..and sadly it ended too soon. (Six episodes into season 2 I believe.) Highly recommend you get this. Set is genuine and arrived very fast :)

5年以上前に、アメリカ帰りの方にとても安く譲っていただいた作品でした（アメリカ版）。それが具合悪くなり新しいものを探していたところ、amazonで考えられない値段で出品されていてビックリ。商品説明には字幕に英語が言及されていないのでひょっとしたら英語字幕がないのかもと心配しながらの購入でした。ところがどっこい、英語字幕もばっちり。現在地東南アジアですが、一時帰国の際に購入。嬉しさ一杯です。￥1,080は考えられない安さです。今のうちに是非購入されたく推奨いたします。

Meet Tru Davies, a 22 year old college graduate biding her time until she's accepted to medical school, her internship at a local hospital falls through, and instead she's working in the local morgue for a slightly strange but shy medical examiner Davis (a young widower).Tru has an older sister Meredith (a high flying lawyer with a cocaine problem) and a younger brother Harrison (Harry, who's a gambling addict). She also has a cold distant father played by Cotter Smith who's remarried with two more little girls.Tru's mother was murdered in front of her when she was 12 years old by a man that was never caught, her mother's killer will shock you later in the series, when he comes back to try and kill tru's stepmother (I'll give you a clue he was hired). After the death of tru's mother, she hears her mother's voice, it doesn't happen again until she's working the graveyard shift in the morgue, only this time someone who died before their time and shouldn't be dead yet, ask Tru for her help. Then her day rewinds and she gets a do-over to try and save the person before it's too late and alter their future, Tru because of her abilities discovers her boyfriend cheating and on turn falls head over heels for a handsome but kind fireman, sadly that wasn't to be. Tru's life is harder for all that she has to do as she only has two confidants her boss Davis and her Brother Harry, who are often in the thick of it too helping her save people.This truly was an amazing TV series it never should have been cancelled, it showed a strong young woman helping people. Tru was a modern day superwoman and Eliza Dushku played her brilliantly. Highly recommend!

This was a great tv show. Sadly, another gem that was cancelled before reaching it's prime.I was only able to buy the most recent reedition of this tv show, which comes in a plastic case and not the digipack version.This DVD, with the complete two seasons, comes packed with 8 DVD's. Each DVD brings several deleted scenes, for each episode. Some of those deleted scenes actually have commentary by director's, screenwriters and cast members. There's a more than a few extras: music video for the main song, several cast, director's, screenwriter's interviews... etc. (sadly, it lacks a promo photos gallery of some sort). It included a booklet which offers a synopsis for each episode and indicates which extras comes with each DVD...)There's also a nice Easter egg (on Disc 6)!!! Nothing to fancy, but quite interesting... :)The image quality is a bit granny... doesn't look like HD (for today's standards). There's subtitles for two/three languages (depending on which season). The audio is quite nice and smooth. Definitely a nice tv show for fans of this cast or fans of this genre... (P.S.: Anyone else ever noticed how similar this tv show & Ghostwhisper plot's were?...)
