Rating:  - The 10 Bucks Back Deal Is Over! It Is Expired!
The Pretender is an awesomely good TV show but why buy this starter set that only has one episodes from the first season when you can buy the complete first season DVD boxset and get this eipisode and all the rest of the season one episodes? And don't give me any garbage about it being worth it because you get 10 dollars back with the included coupon because that ten bucks back deal has long expired! Only people who like to waste money would buy this!
Rating:  - Won't regret getting the starter set! The Pretender is good!
Getting this starter set is a no-brainer. Why? Because it includes a coupon that allows you to save $10 off the first season set which you will inevitably do after watching the first two episodes included in the starter set! Therefore the $10 off will cancel out the cost of the starter set so it's like a freebie.
But it's not all about money. This is quality television at its absolute best. Jarod is a Pretender and he uses his special skills to help people while avoiding the Centre. The story of his past and his ties with the Centre unravel with each new episode.
The Pretender starter set gets you off to a good start with the Pilot episode and the second episode, Every Picture Tells A Story, two very excellent episodes which set the tone for the rest of the season and do an awesome job of introducing the characters and their complexities while being thoroughly entertaining. In the pilot, we are immediately impressed by Jarod's all-encompassing genius in simple ways. Michael T. Weiss does an amazing job of portraying childlike innocence in his eyes, and convincing us of Jarod's abilities, his sense of responsibility for the exploitation of his skills by the Centre and his determination not to let them control his life anymore. Andrea Parker both in the pilot and the second episode successfully paints us a picture of a complicated character who has the ability to arouse our compassion for her tortured past in one scene, but provoke our wrath in another when she goes after Jarod with her ...

Rating:  - Get the whole first seson
I love the Pretender to death, one of the best shows ever on television. With that said, if you're thinking about purchasing this DVD set, you might as well go ahead and splurge for the whole first season (its not even that pricy at $30). It's such a good show, you won't regret it, plus I feel like the first two episodes barely give you a peek into the wonderful world that is The Pretender. I think this set was released to get the public interested by providing a little taste a a low price before the actual first season came out, trust me here, if you watch the first two episodes you'll only be wanting more.
