Do you mean the whole series? ($170) How do we get it in order to watch? Is it worth it to buy?

Yep, the whole $170. More than worth it.
I would chime-in that studying over the summer is probably not such a good idea. You'll still feel like you've been run over by a bus your first day in Gross Anatomy.
As far as books, though, why pick one? I absolutely loathed gross, so I had every resource I could get. Netter's is excellent for a first-pass through the material - makes it much easier to learn the basics. However, when you figure out that nerves, arteries, and veins aren't really color-coded on your cadaver, you'll want Rohen's if you want to ace your practicals. I also had a copy of Grant's because it has some tables and additional information that are useful - Netter's has none of that - I found Grant's more useful for head-and-neck. I bought Moore's because it was the official text for the class - and the level of detail was great, but I never had time to actually read it (after the first block when I got incredibly far behind) and could have lived without it. And, last but not least, I did indeed use the Anatomy Coloring Book to learn the muscles of the arms and legs - spent some pleasant hours with colored pencils - just make sure you get the Kapit and Elson edition - the coloring book comes in several flavors, most of which are useless at a medical school level.
If you really want to torture yourself, get BRS Gross Anatomy by Chung. Since Dr. Chung was my professor, that was our "real" textbook (professors can't adopt their own books as the official text at my school). When Chung says he's going to teach you every vessel, nerve, muscle, etc - he ain't kidding, and Chung's is ultra-compressed and concise. It's terribly boring reading since it's so dry. Good board questions, though, although anatomy is not high-yield and I have no intention of going back to Chung's. Just a note, though - apparently Korean doesn't use sex-specific pronouns and, when you tell Dr. Chung that "testicular artery" is not an appropriate answer to a question that refers to the patient as "she" - he thinks you're being too picky. You need an atlas when you read Chung's because the illustrations are somewhere between dreadful and laughable.
