What to know before buying

The listing gives the runtime as “1 minute,” which conflicts with its description of the program as a limited series. Confirm the runtime and disc contents for the selected edition before ordering. The description also says “4K digital master” while the listed format is DVD, NTSC, so do not interpret that phrase as a 4K disc.

Aggregate customer ratings are mixed but lean positive, with a majority in the five-star category and a notable one-star share. This offers only a broad, limited signal about buyer impressions and does not identify specific strengths or complaints. It cannot resolve the listing’s unclear runtime or explain what is on each disc.
