The two brothers take on the most confounding criminal cases from a very distinctive perspective. Inspired by actual cases the series depicts how the confluence of police work and mathematics provides unexpected revelations and answers to the most perplexing criminal questions. A dedicated FBI agent Don Eppes (Rob Morrow) couldn't be more different from his younger brother Charlie Eppes (David Krumholtz) a brilliant mathematician who since he was little yearned to impress his big brother. As a seasoned investigator Don deals in hard facts and evidence whereas Charlie a math professor at a California university functions in a world of mathematical probability and equations. Now despite their disparate approaches to life Don and Charlie are able to combine their areas of expertise and solve some killer cases.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 097360475449 Manufacturer No: 047544

Numb3rs' intriguing and entertaining mix of prime-time crime action and mathematics gets its sophomore showcase in this impressive six-disc boxed set, which brings together the entire second season with a fun and informative array of extras. Season Two brings about a slight changing of the guard in the show's cast: Gone is Sabrina Lloyd as Agent Terry Lake, and in her place are Diane Farr (Rescue Me) as Agent Megan Reeves and Dylan Bruno as Agent Colby Granger, both of whom assimilate quite smoothly into Numb3rs' blend of detective work and academics. Otherwise it's business as usual with the Eppes boys, with big brother Don (Rob Morrow) leading his team against all manner of nefarious types, and genius younger sibling Charlie (David Krumholtz) finding answers in the web of mathematical equations he stores in his head. Highlights for the season include 'All's Fair,' which offers both the murder of a documentarian investigating Muslim women's rights and a rekindled love affair for Charlie; 'Mind Games,' which pits Charlie against a psychic (John Glover) who tracks down three missing women; and 'Toxin,' which features a return guest appearance by Lou Diamond Phillips as Special Agent Ian Edgerton.
Extras include commentary on seven episodes by members of the cast and crew, including co-creator Nicolas Falacci; also interesting is 'Crunching Numb3rs: Season Two,' which offers a half-hour look behind the scenes at the making of the episode 'Rampage,' and David Krumholtz's video diary, for which the actor brings the audience along for a day on the set. A blooper reel and gallery of stills shot by Falacci round out the supplemental features. -- Paul Gaita

It starts off kinda slow but the later half of this season heats up and gives a better season.
Rating: - Awesome tv series
I'm a crime drama junkie. This is an awesome series. Besides crime solving , I love the dynamics of Eppes family, as well as liberal viewpoints shared by the producers and writers.
Rating: - Math is Fun - Numb3rs makes it more so
The Numb3rs series is quite well done. Being Hollywood it's a bit too violent overall but it is very interesting how they link the mathematics in many episodes. Ok, not perfectly so for purists but the show makes one think about different ways in which mathematics can be and is used in the series.
I showed a couple shows to my high school classes and overall they enjoyed it - some already were watching the series. The tough part is that the math can be a bit heavy, thus "Charlievision" is the best creation of the series. Whenever the main mathematician, Charlie, goes off on a real-world comparative model for the math he is explaining they use a different type of filming technique.
The character development is also pretty good. Main downfall is the overly Hollywoodish elements of too much violence and occasionally other risque plots making it less appropriate for younger audiences.
The main actors have gone to the NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) conference where they were received like rock stars.
Rating: - Great!
