How come the whole series cost 34.99 when each show is 1.99 that's only 20 dollars I understand the other option for hd is 2.99 but y pay for hd when u can get it a dollar cheaper it makes nos since in paying the extra dollars for 34.99 for the series love this show and it's the only reason I payed 1.99 for each show since I don't have DirecTV any but its a rip off

I heard about this show from an interview with Nick Jonas in Details discussing his physical transformation. As a MMA fan and martial artist I was hoping it would be good. What I was expecting was a show about a fighter rising through the ranks with some decent acting from the more well known actors. What you get is a great show about a broken and troubled family trying to survive. The fighting and the training takes a back seat to family drama along with some fantastic acting. This show ended up being much more entertaining than expected and my girlfriend ended up getting hooked. I can't wait to watch season 2!

Jonathan Tucker, Frank Grillo, Matt Lauria, Joanna Going and even, surprisingly to me, Nick Jonas absolutely KILL this show. Such great acting, great characters, especially Tucker. Can't wait for Season 2B. Favorite show on TV recently.
