I was just going to post about that before reading this. Yes I have. I watched the first disc (3 episodes) and I got the 2nd disc through Blockbuster Online on Monday but sent it right back out because I wasn't in the mood to watch it. Maybe one day I'll continue it but as of now I doubt it. The first episode was good but 2 & 3 just didn't do it for me [/b][/quote]Irishman12, have you decided to revisit the Decalogue yet? I know this post is ancient, but I was browsing.

Anyway, in my opinion, not every Decalogue episode is a masterpiece. For me the flaws (not failures) are Decalogue 3 and 7. Whereas Decalogue 4 is an interesting failure.

With that said, Decalogue 5 is without a doubt a masterpiece, but not an easy viewing. In fact, the whole series is not an easy viewing because it depicts difficult situations that dramatize the harsh realities of the human condition. Decalogue 8 has an interesting premise and succeeds.

So, I'd say jump ahead to the 3rd disc and watch Decalogue 10. It's a tremendous black comedy. That should be a good way to get back into it. Then maybe follow it with:

Episode 6, 9, 8, then save the best for last (Episode 5). Or, 10, 5, 6, 9, 8.
