5.0 out of 5 stars Best Season of the Best Show on Television October 27, 2006

By mljkb

Format:DVD

"24" is quite simply the greatest show to appear on television in a good long while and season five is its finest hour. Five seasons in, series creators Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran continue to spring one unpredictable surprise after another, sending super agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland, by equal turns lethally charismatic and emotionally bruised) against his most formidable foes yet that include everyone and anyone from Russian Separatists, authoritarian double agents to high ranking members of the government. Fans of the season will know exactly who these baddies are, but for those unitiated, the head-spinning surprises are best left unsaid. What can be said, is that for this fifth season the crack writing staff took a good hard look at the state of geopolitics and the authoritarian neo-conservatism championed by the Bush administration and worked in a cautionary tale about oil-lust and hubris taken to extremes. Besides Sutherland, special recognition has to go to Gregory Itzin as the weak-kneed President Logan, Jean Smart as the harried first lady and Mary Lynn Rajskub as the nerdy Chole O'Brien. For the show, this season presented a tricky balancing act between the shows' signature slam-bang action scenes (there are still spectacular) and the sobering political commentary, but Surnow and Cochran nail it, making "24" a thinking man's thriller that is far smarter and far more relevant than anything else on television.

5.0 out of 5 stars Modern days' Job October 7, 2006

By Eran Cohen

Format:DVD

It seems like things cannot get worse than they are before the dawn of day 5; the tragedies and catastrophes Jack has suffered from throughout the previous seasons would have been unbearable to most human beings - but Jack endured.

Comes day 5 to demonstrate that things cannot always get better - as Jack comes back from the presumed-dead to face an immense loss and immediately continue to save a nation from formidable new enemies - foreign and domestic.

At its fifth season the show is interesting, vibrant, energetic and possibly better than previous seasons; "24" is still in its development phase - it appears that there's a lot more to do and tell in the future - and it's admirable to be able to say that about a series at the point where most other TV shows are long beyond their glory days.

The series itself and Kiefer Sutherland as its leading actor finally won the Emmy they deserved this year. It came in a good time - when TV modern days' Job and probably ultimate hero show how to get over, move on and get the job done.

5.0 out of 5 stars 24 Regains its former glory!!(spolier free review) September 12, 2006

By Mauricio Carvallo

Format:DVD

After a disappointing 4th season, i wanted to continue watching because i owed it to the series some of the best seasons on tv ever, so i didn't get my hopes up much, i didn't even think there would be a creative attack, plot or anything...

I was dead wrong.

This season opened with an unbelievable first episode that blew me away, and the suspense stayed all way. Now, i have watched every season, i have watched alias, i have watched lost,blablabla..i have come to learn to predict and expect most of the twist and turns here and there along the plot. This time, they caught be my surprise every time. It is simply incredible! This season presents a complete new chapter for jack bauer. It regained all its glory from season 2 a few blocks back, and it kept going. Since the story is one of the main elements of the series, i will do my best not to reveal any of it

Here are just a few of the pros of this season:

A complicated plan and intentions from the bad guys pulling all the strings, totally passing the mediocre plot of "Kill americans and that's it" from season 4

A terrefic episode featuring a brief but great apperance by jack's daughter

Old and new characters mixing well together

Mind blowing plot twists that made my jaw drop to the floor.It is simply great, as you watch, the show totally transmits every feeling necessary to make these episodes keep you glued to your seat every week.

A clif hanger that leaves you wanting for the begginning of the 6th season.

Great acting from the cast, martha, jack, karen, secretary heller, everyone...

Overall, they totally deserved this emmy. The show had a message in other seasons: If things are bad, don't worry, they can always get worse (well, in the 4th season it was the opposite, but no matter).

This season is ground breaking, 5 Stars, 2 thumbs way up, outstanding. Watch it or buy it, you won't regret it
