Keri Russell stars as Felicity Porter in this engaging series which ran from 1998 to 2002. Now thanks to Beauna Vista we can take a look at every episode from season one, including the pilot episode.

Using the handy device of audiocassette letters to a friend Felicity narrates her experiences of being a naive freshman at the University of New York in Manhattan ’s Greenwich Village .

Believing that a boy, Ben Covington, she has a crush on feels the same way about her, Felicity decides to leave her Californian home (much to the dismay of her parents) and pursue him to New York . Unfortunately Ben is not romantically interested in Felicity. (The pilot episode also has a commentary from the shows creators J.J. Abrahams and Matt Reeves helping explain the genesis of the show and also how the series Alias which they also created emerged as they tossed around ideas to keep the show fresh)

Felicity elects to stay on in New York though and her relationship with Ben or lack of it at times is at the heart of the series. Other key characters in the show include best friend Julie (played by Amy Jo Johnson), Dorm advisor Noel (who just happens to have a crush on Felicity) and would be entrepreneur Richard. These circle of friends fall in love, fall out of love and  learn life lessons. The series builds throughout the series and by episode 22 Felicity is heading towards having to choose between Ben and Noel.

Felicity is an enjoyable series looking at the world through the eyes of a young woman on a journey of self discovery.

Extras: This is a very well put together set, six discs in three double jewel cases (contained in an attractive box), cutting down on the bulkiness and shelf space consuming of many other sets, main extras come in the form of audio commentaries from the shows creators J.J. Abrahams and Matt Reeves on the pilot episode and on episode 22 Felicity Was Here.
