Summary of "Volume 3 - Cool concept, neat show": I really enjoyed watching this. The storytelling style reminds me of another British series, The Street, where each episode focused on a different set of characters that lived along a single road. It's a fun way to explore the characters, focusing on someone new each episode as opposed to the entire group continually, and I liked that they would change the opening credits just a little bit to draw attention to the person they were focusing on. I purposely didn't look at the name of the episodes so I could be "surprised" by the final shot where the character for that episode was revealed.
The set is good, though I wish there had been a commentary track or two. I was surprised by the amount of behind-the-scenes material, as I'm used to that being a short 5-10 minute segment on most DVD sets. This is definitely a show to check out if you haven't seen it before, and as I mentioned earlier, this is a good set to jump into even if you haven't seen the previous seasons. (read entire review)
