Summary: Not as Unpredictable as the 1st, but Doesn't Disappoint
Review: Personally, amidst the hype 24's sequel season had received, I was somewhat skeptical that Season 2 could outdo the riveting success that was Season 1. After watching Season 2 in its entirety, it was somewhat of a letdown, but nonetheless, it delivered the same suspense and thrills the first one dished out. The second season takes place 18 months after the events of the first season and it ranges from 8:00pm to 8:00am. Jack Bauer, played wonderfully by Kiefer Sutherland, returns as a broken man, obviously because of the Season 1 finale. Kim has disowned Jack and he finds himself lonely and distraught. Meanwhile, David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert), who ran in the presidential primary in Season 1, is the new commander-in-chief of the United States. President Palmer calls Bauer back on duty, on a dangerous mission to thwart the detonation of a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles. Bauer has the dark mentality of a rogue, feeling as if he has nothing to live for. In short, Bauer is a good guy, thinking more like a bad guy. With each hour, Bauer discovers the government conspiracy behind the terrorist threat and it all leads up to the final hour, where Bauer must in essence, save Palmer's presidency and the world, for that matter. The second season of 24 seems to reflect the touchy, changing times and further onward into the waning hours, it reflects the social and political problems of the world today. Despite the influenced plot and the relatively predictable line of events, 24 carries on the quality of the first season. The cast, especially Sutherland and Haysbert, is stellar as usual and of course, the nail-biting developments and tone are awesome and cerebral. For those just new to the phenomenon of 24, I advise that you watch Season 1 first before this second set because your understanding of the story is greatly enhanced.

Summary: The Pros and Cons for 24 Season 2!
Review: Pros: Starts well, ends decently, the middle, though, is a big mess, Kiefer Sutherland, Penny Johnson, Dennis Haysbert, Sarah Clarke, and maybe Elisha Cuthbert, Amazing show, Beautiful Audio/Video transfer, Highly suspenseful, intelligent, and engrossing show. The acting and writing are both terrific. Novel idea, suspenseful plot with interesting and realistic characters, beautiful transfer, sound. Cons: Loses focus, badly cast supporting roles, not enough ideas to go around, Plot holes and side tracks! A few stumbles, the time laps seems impossible such as jack and many characters doing many things in 1 hour, which is impossible in our real society today. To me, I found that 24 season 1 is far much better than 24 season 2. But despite that, Overall, I would give it a 4.8 for 24 season 1 and 4.3 for 24 season 2!

Summary: Another Very Long Day
Review: It all begins at 8:00 a.m. 18 months after Jack Bauer prevented the assassination of Senator David Palmer, things aren't looking good for the CTU agent. His wife was killed by Nina Myers minutes before she was caught, his daughter Kim blames him for the death, and he has been out of commission ever since. But those problems are only the beginning. It is revealed that a terrorist group named Second Wave plans to detonate a nuclear bomb somewhere in Los Angeles sometime that day, and the only lead that CTU has is linked to Bauer. Palmer, now the President, had George Mason, now the Director of CTU, immediately reinstate Bauer so that he can infiltrate the lead and find out where the bomb is. Along the way, many secrets come out such as a conspiracy within the government to allow the bomb into the country, and all along, Kim keeps getting into more trouble. Once again, this proves to be one of the greatest shows on television. You will be hooked from the beginning, and you will never want to stop watching. The main difference between this and the first season is that, while the first season was more personal towards Jack and Palmer, this one has more at stake. I gurantee that you will love this DVD.

Summary: Best show on tv!!
Review: If you like suspense and drama, this show is an excellent choice! It constantly delivers nothing but the best plot twists, storylines, action, and suspense. It is one of the few shows that can actually keep me on the edge of my seat..and constantly keeps me guessing. The format and filmography are approached from a fresh, new angle. I definitely recommend seeing this!

Summary: Brilliant Television...but the ending is a let down.
Review: Now, I'm giving the show 5 stars because it's totally brilliant. But if I could give it 4.5 I would, because to tell you the truth, the ending of this season isn't as good as the season one's, in fact, this one is a cliffhander for season 3 (which is confirmed to air in october). However, it's so intense, and unbelievably remarkable, that when it's over, you go "whew!" because all you care about is that Jack is ok...
or not... [...]

Summary: So Good
Review: This is about "Jack Bauer," and how this was the second worst day of his life, and how it all started with a bomb from a "Middle Eastern Country," which he is trying to prove the bomb actually came from somewhere else, and the problems he faced.
I saw this show on TV, but not yet on DVD. This was a great series, and kept me guessing till the end. There where many great twists too. This is the best series I have seen!

Summary: Still great fun, but too "over the top" for 5 stars
Review: 24 is still my favorite show, and I'll be one of the first to buy this DVD set. But Season Two is a bit too "over the top," and the writing, while still riveting, sometimes sacrifices consistency for sensationalism. People will say "it's just TV, don't take it so seriously." But the first season had more consistent writing, and the plot twists didn't seem contrived like they sometimes do in Season Two. Jack gets less screen time in Season Two than Season One, which is a shame because his storylines are the show's best. And Kim's storylines in Season Two were clearly an afterthought of the writers and have almost nothing to do with the main plot (at least, as of Hour 21). (Not to mention they are stupid.) Yet, 24 is still a thrill. Even moreso in Season Two, because so much more is at stake than in Season One. And there still is SOME outstanding writing. George Mason, a minor character in Season One, becomes a very complex, interesting, and important character in Season Two. Jack is still very well-written, dark, complex, yet clearly a great hero. And we learn more about Jack - a little very interesting stuff about his background, and (in a pivotal moment with Mason) we learn about some of the motivation behind Jack's heroism and self-sacrifice in Season Two. 24 likely will slip from most critics' "Top Ten" lists this year, but it's still great fun and the DVD set will be a fine addition to your collection (especially considering the great price!) A tidbit for 24 fans: The May 5 issue of the NY Post quotes Kiefer Sutherland saying that they're thinking of doing a feature film: "I know everyone is looking forward to that happening. We've got a big 'Die Hard'-style spectacle planned in the back of all our minds. The show itself is big enough in itself, but the movie is sure to bring it on," Kiefer said. For 24 newbies: Watch Season One on DVD first. It is absolutely excellent in itself, and some important plot developments in Season Two are more richly enjoyed if you're familiar with what happened in Season One.
