| Just go ahead and BUY THIS SERIES. Without doubt, the best series I have ever seen. The writing is brilliant, the casting and acting is superb, and the plot NEVER fails to entertain and even hold you captive. The big negative? You can't watch just one episode. Plan on some pretty late nights as one episode's cliffhanger ending drags you into the next. |

""I'm federal agent Jack Bauer, and these four days are the longest days of my life."" | 2006-08-03 |

| With a great show like 24 you don't know what to expect. The things I expect with this show is suspence, action, an intence fast paced roller coaster, plot twists, and thrills. Fortunately I get all five in this hit show. But what isn't expected in these intence four rounds of 24 hours? The kind of suspence, action, the type of intence fast paced roller coaster, the types of plot twists and thrills. Unfortunately for Jack Bauer once the clock starts to tick his 24 hour nightmare begins. 24 is a hard hitting show. TV ads and sneak peaks into the new episode keep me waiting for the next hour of suspence, action, plot twists and thrills. A question I would want to ask is would a day like these days go by slow? As slow as the whole season goes? Jack Bauer did say in season one "this is the longest day of my life" which I'm sure it was when his wife and daughter were kiddnapped while the same people responsible attempt to assasinate a senator running for president, and in between investigating about a traitor inside CTU. What also lies in store for 24 is the sacrifices made. All four seasons of this hit show are must haves for new and long time fans. |

| Not many shows catch my eye as well as these shows. Sutherland has done a great job. The packageing of all 4 seasons is ideal for anybody wanting a continuous movie.. GREAT STUFF |

WARNING - This show just might ruin everything else for you. OK so I'm not saying the show is perfect, there are a lot of little things about it that annoy me, heck some stuff doesn't even make sense but........ Overall this show is amazing. It's kind of like when you watch a James Bond flick and you go, oh yeah right, like that would ever happen but you enjoy the action anyway. But with 24 it's not just action. The show grabs a hold of you and wont let go. it's an adreline rush and an emotional roller coaster honestly I held back tears on more than one ocasion and I'm no bitch. The only problem is it ruins everything else for you. I really can't watch anything else anymore because nothing on TV even comes close. I am a big Soprano's fan and thought that was as good as it gets but once I got into 24 I forgot all about the Soprano's. It's really not fair to other shows and don't just take my word for it look at the other reviews here on amazon and the average rating. Also it is consistantly rated as the number one show on tv amongst all the critics and in all the guides, Entertainment weekly, TV Guide, newspapers, magazines, everyone agrees 24 is the best show on TV. But look you have to be in to that kind of thing, in other words the idea of anti terrorism has to appeal to you. You have to like shows of this nature for example: The Soprano's, CSI, Allias, The Wire, The shield, House, Lost, ect. if your more of a sex in the city or friends type of person who enjoys that light harted stuff then this is not for you. But if you want your pulse to race, if you want to be on the edge of your seat, if you don't mind violence, and if you can take the emotional games the show will play with you then your going to love it. I am writing this for anyone who has not already seen it. Pick up season one and start from the begining, what ever you do don't try to get into it on tv five seasons after the fact, you must start from the beginin that would be like trying to watch Star Wars Episode 3 without seing any of the other ones, it just wont work you have to start from the begining but be prepared say goodbye to any social life you have for the next month while you catch up. |

| The greatest show ever to hit T.V. You will never know what happens next on this show and that is one of the many elements that make this show great,It always keeps you guessing and wanting more.C.T.U(Counter Terrorist Unit) and C.T.U operative Jack Bauer(Keifer Sutherland)try and stop terrorist threats all within 24 hours which is in real time. What I like about this show is that Keifer Sutherlands character Jack Bauer is not afraid to do what ever it takes to stop a terrorist threat even if it is going against C.T.U or the President. Another great aspect of the show is they are not afraid to kill off main characters that you grow to love on the show, so you will never now what is going to happen next which keeps you wanting more. You still reading, stop and go buy the first season right now. Hell, buy all 4 right now thats how good it is. |

I love "24." I came across S1 on WGN while channel-surfing, and quickly became hooked. Since I couldn't bear to wait an entire week for the next episodes, I went ahead and bought S1-S4 on DVD. I'm not sorry! I am pleased to be addicted, and can't wait until the current season (S5) comes out on DVD also -- I want to watch the beginning again -- it has been a long time since it began in January!
Makes you wish that the U.S. really DID have a Jack Bauer and a CTU on the team...
ADDENDUM -- Now it is June 8, 2006, and Season 5 is finished. We have to wait 8 months for Season 6 -- ugh! I can't wait till S5 is out on DVDs -- I'll definitely purchase it here. |

| Excellent unprecendented TV Series. DVD version of a TV series that is the equivalent of a thriller novel that you cannot put down. Many main and supporting characters in principal and sublplots with constant multi-source tension and jaw-dropping surprises. DVD includes extras. You get 24 discs with many hours of viewing. Very highly recommend. |
