I always had fond memories of Northern Exposure, and looked forward to getting the DVDs. The first season didn’t live up to my memories, and i was starting to wonder if this was one of those cases where the memory was fonder than the reality. However, it was the second season where it all seemed to click together – the actors found their footing, the storylines found a perfect balance of drama and quirkiness. By the final episode of this second season it is a damn near masterpiece.
