I owned the first three seasons of this EPIC series on dvd and had been disappointed by the double black bars (fullscreen letterbox) presentation of this series. A quick fix was to change your zoom settings on your set or player, but this fix was quite awful in what seems to be lower than a 480i resolution.
The Blu-ray release of this series is truly wonderful in full 1920x1080 HD. This is a true widescreen release. The audio is presented in lossless 2.0 Dolby Stereo. Each Season is individually packaged in separate Blu-ray boxes.
The graphics and special effects can be and most of the time are the best of any production I have ever seen. It stands alone in comparison to anything the BBC, NOVA, The Science Channel, or The Discovery Channel has ever created.
If you are interested in a mind blowing, educational, heavily entertaining piece of eye candy, then do not pass this product up.

Other reviewers have covered the content of this series very well and I doubt that I could do any better, I recommend this to anyone who is interested in knowing more on the subject of astronomy and slightly into the fantasy/speculation side of where technology will go in the future.The one thing that I did not find in any of the other reviews or in any of the product pictures that was a concern of mine was the size/look that this collection would have on my shelf. When I got these blu-rays in the mail I was pleasantly surprised to find that they are the 3 single packaged seasons of The Universe inside of a decorative cardboard box so if you want to leave them in the box on the shelf that would be fine or you could take them out and it would be as if you had purchased each separately (which is what I'll be doing since I'm also buying season 4 and it would look strange in my opinion to have 3 boxed and one separate). So if packaging was something holding you back from taking advantage of the price difference between buying the seasons separately or in this package deal then you can rest assured that this package is the better alternative. Hope this helps.
