## Customer feedback

Aggregate ratings lean positive, with many five-star ratings, but lower star categories are also represented. This gives a generally favourable signal rather than a guarantee of fit. The listing confirms a six-drama, three-disc collection, while the ratings alone do not establish opinions about its picture, audio or booklet.
