Summary: Innovative, Action-Packed, Suspenseful! WOW!!
Review: "Right now terrorists are plotting to assassinate a presidential candidate, my wife and daughter have been kidnapped and the people that I work with may be involved in both. I'm federal agent Jack Bauer and this is the longest day of my life." Kiefer Sutherland, as agent Bauer, opens each episode of "24 - Season One" with these lines, which accurately describe the plot of this action-packed thriller. Each hour-long episode represents 60 minutes in a 24 hour period, beginning at 12:00am and ending at 12:00pm - thus the title "24." The real-time storyline is extremely innovative, the cast performance is superb, as is the script. And the suspense and quick pace will take your breath away. If you missed segments of the 1st season, and/or just love the series and want to be able to see it again and again, then the DVD is a terrific buy!

I don't watch much television and so missed the first season completely. I had heard friends rave about this series and decided to rent the first DVD. I never looked back! Excellent! ENJOY!

Summary: Bought this out of the blue w/o seeing it!!
Review: All through the season, I kept hearing how good this show is. But since I missed most of the season, I figured I should not see any of it on TV. This is the first time I bought something without actually knowing what it is about. To my surprise, it turned out to be a great move.

This show is not like other TV shows. This is more of a season-long movie. After each episode, a piece of the puzzle is revealed or added. This is smart writing and the plot is not as dumb as in many tv shows. Unlike other tv shows, where each episode is different and just shows the continuing adventures of a hero/heroine, each episode is connected and if you miss one episode, you miss some very important detail to the plot.

This show is fast-paced and after watching the first season, I have been a 24 fan ever since. You will not be disappointed in getting this DVD and after watching it, you too will become a 24 fan and not miss any episodes when it is on TV.

Summary: Exciting serie!
Review: Keep you in front of TV and wanting to see more and more.
One of the greatest series in TV!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Big surprise, now I am hooked.
Review: I didnt watch this during it's initial run on FOX but recently borrowed the DVDs from a friend. I figured I'd watch an episode here and there when nothing else was on TV but once the first epsiode was over I became a "24" junky! I stayed up late at night, got up early in the mornings before work to catch another Hour and after swearing to watch no more than an episode a night, sometimes found myself watching two and even three.
Needless to say, I felt like Jack Bauer at the end of those sleepless 24 Hours as I watched the show and finished over just a three week period.
The cast is great, the writing is supurb and it's non stop on the edge of your seat action.
If you havent seen it, go buy it or rent it now.

Summary: meaning of my life
Review: the best thing ever aired on tv.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A very good series that one would expect on say...HBO
Review: I didn't start watching this show until both season one and two were out on DVD, and I must say that this is an excellent show. Its exciting and suspenseful. It has characters that you either love or love to hate.

The series is exceptional because its a new idea. So many tv shows these days are dull and a waste of time. This is not one of them. I don't own a tv, I don't watch tv. I figure that if it is good enough to come out on DVD (except now it seems that everything is coming out on DVD) then its good enough to watch.

I loved it. Most television shows don't grab the viewer like this one does (unless your watching HBO, Sopranos, Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, etc.).

There is only one complaint, and that is that while watching this I couldn't help but see all of the camera crew and some set equipment, but I'll excuse that for the lower budget and fast paced action that it is.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing, innovative, breathtaking and magnetic.
Review: In the following I am going to count some of the benefits the viewers get out of watching the amazing "24":

1. An insight into the formidable, violent - but also exciting - world of war against terror - "24" emerged right after the terror attacks that destroyed the Twin Towers and started to give the horrified, but also curious viewers, a glance at the gray and mysterious area most were vaguely aware of - in a never been seen before approach of 'documenting' events in real time (each episode illustrates the events of a single hour in the lives of the characters).

2. Somebody to admire - There are two dominante roll models in the show:

Jack Bauer, the Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) operative, strikes the common viewers as the ultimate hero of all times. Nobody is really close to the level of the combative competence and shrewdness he demonstrates time and again - along side with dedication and commitment to his family and country.

David Palmer, the California presidential candidate, also appears as one of the wisest, most devoted, sincere and patriotic characters ever to hit the small screen.

Nevertheless, both are vulnerable.

3. An escape form reality - Upon watching the series, the viewers are going to forget about everything that bothers them and concentrate on the events that keep on happening by the minute on the screen. The action is non-stop; no other series in the history of television had reached the level of intensity this series has reached. There is nothing else one can think of while watching it that it's almost therapeutic.

4. A family get-together - Finally there's a TV series that can hook everybody - adult and minors - side by side in mutual respect. Yes, it is violent at times, but no more than the things everybody sees in movies and in the news everyday. It is also a great source for conversations and debates about the unconventional, controversial and shocking situations that are presented on the screen in an unprecedented density.

5. Something to look forward to - When was the last time you really waited for a new episode in a TV program? Was it back on the days of "Dallas"? Well, the drought is over; you are going to stay breathless during and after most of the episodes, anxious to see and know more. The best advice I can give is to take it one at a time.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Too much hype led to high expectations
Review: While it was a critically acclaimed show, I was disappointed by all the hype. It's a good show, but not great. I thought that twenty four episodes representing 24 hours in the day was a great idea, but felt let down very quickly (around episode 2 or 3). What happened in that "24 hour day," really would have happened in a week. Also, plot lines that should have been abandoned (like the kidnapping aspect) after the first attempt are continued on and on. At least one of the stupid characters dies in the end.

The sorest point for me was that Kim's character was such an idiot. Yes, when I'm running for my life from kidnappers, I'll make sure to call my mommy too. Police and 911 are so overrated.

I started watching the second season, but gave up after episode one. It was interesting, but not exciting enough to continue.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 24 is one of the most addictive shows I've ever watched!
Review: I didn't start watching these until the first two seasons were out on DVD. I ended up staying up most of the nights trying to get through them they were so addictive. "What happens next?!" That's the question that keeps drumming through your mind as you watch. A great buy! If you are a 24 fan or someone in your famly is this is the perfect one to add to a collection.
