Realistic, insightful, actually good action scenes, mature and well-written throughout. Not perfect, sure, but what is? Still one of the all-time greats. For this release, I had to put together some subs after seeing the improvements to be found in VCB-S and philosophy-raws newer encode. As such, this is a combination of their x265 Main10 release with OZC's signs and subtitles. Simple stuff, but worth it for a show this good. Quick notes to be had: There is no lossless audio to be found for the English track. VCB/philosophy included the source AC3 5.1, which I chose over OZC's reencoded AAC set.
