A few random thoughts: Like the movie, this series was filmed entirely on location in Chicago, in and around buildings and neighborhoods that still look pretty much like they did in the 1930's. No small expense for a TV series. NOT done on the cheap. Some episodes filmed when it was really cold unlike the earlier series which was filmed in southern Calif and made Chicago look like a pretty warm, snow-free place. # If you don't remember this series it's probably because it was syndicated to local stations some of which showed it at odd hours. Eliot Ness is portrayed by a little-known actor named Tom Amandes, a rather odd casting choice. The portrayal of Al Capone by the writers and actor William Forsythe is a little weird. I have read three lengthy books about the real-life Capone and I can tell you he was a crude, vicious man not the pseudo-intellectual sometimes shown here. Despite a few drawbacks, be advised that this 1990's-produced version of The Untouchables is a well-acted and very well produced show. It takes some liberties with the actual history of the time but then so did the original series and the movie. I recommend this series. Most of the episodes are quite entertaining. Regular cast includes John Rhys-Davies and David James Elliott. Unfortunately, no extras on the DVD. Review: Excellent production! - I was 12 years old when the 1959-1963 series starring Robert Stack aired. I loved the series, and being a 12-year-old girl, I had a mad crush on Robert Stack. This series is an excellent version of the stories, mostly fictionalized, of the exploits of this elite group. There are tidbits of fact mixed in with the fictionalization, something I like in historically-based shows. This version is even bloodier than the original, which was criticized in the early 1960s as too violent. But the gore occurs within highly realistic plots, depicting the grittiness and hardships of the 1920s and the early 1930s, and the reality of mob violence. The production is elegant. The directing is solid, the writing top-notch. The acting is stellar, with William Forsythe rocking the role of Al Capone as few have been able to do. John Rhys-Davies is wonderful in any role he takes on, and functions here as his boss's right-hand man, mentor, and at times, conscience. Tom Amandes is every bit as much Eliot Ness as Robert Stack was, giving us superb moments throughout the series. At the end of the credits, there is an homage to the Robert Stack series as well as to Eliot Ness's book. And in every episode I have seen so far, there is, in one way or another, further homage to the original series. Little bits of business, the way a scene is set, and many scenes which reflect the earlier series are placed within the episodes with no self-consciousness whatsoever. These scenes, bits of business, and depictions fit, and are well done. And those wonderful old cars are wonderful to see! There are notices at the beginning of the CDs that there may be some difficulties with the processing of what they refer to as an old series. So far, I have not had much difficulty viewing these. One episode so far seemed to have sound-track troubles, but even with my compromised hearing (73, with chronic tinnitus), I had no trouble hearing the dialogue. I so looked forward to the release of this series, and am thoroughly satisfied with it. In fact, I'm delighted. One complaint: the packaging. It is the same type as the recent re-release in a one-box set of the original series, and it is not good packaging. There are fewer disks in the set than in the original series. It ran two seasons, while the original had four years. But the packaging is the same, and does not hold the disks in securely, even with fewer of them. When this package arrived today, two of the disks had come free of their posts and were loose in the box. Be careful opening the boxes on both of these releases; it could be possible to crack or break a CD. If you liked the earlier series, I would think you'd enjoy this one, too. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 401 Reviews | ## Images ![The Untouchables/The Complete Collection//includes all 42 episodes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+O+ovWXiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than the original series in many ways *by L***M on April 28, 2025* If you liked the movie with Kevin Costner I would guess you would probably like this series which, in style, was clearly inspired by the film.

So far as the content of this version of "The Untouchables" found this series fairly good. I had never seen any of this show until buying this 42 episode series. Did not like the character role of Al Capone in this series, they confused the moral issue of right and wrong in this series portrayal. I personally like the character role portrayal of Al Capone in the original Untouchables TV series of the late 1950's and early 1960's much better. Again the character role portrayal of Capone in the series "Boardwalk Empire" seems more realistic. Elliot Ness had a much stronger character portrayal in the original series compared to this version, another reason I like the original version better. Not quite certain if how Elliot Ness reacted to the military intervening in taking action against organized crime in Chicago is close to what happened historically yet they made the military look really bad when that is probably the only real solution to the problem there. Overall the series was fairly good and different. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/51826425-the-untouchables-the-complete-collection-includes-all-42-episodes](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/51826425-the-untouchables-the-complete-collection-includes-all-42-episodes) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
