5.0 out of 5 stars
Lots of excitement for the money, January 29, 2005
This review is from: 24: Seasons 1-3 (DVD)
As a retiree living on a fixed income, I thought long and hard about spending the money for all three seasons of 24. But when I looked at the product details, I realized I would be getting 72 episodes on 20 discs for about 120 bucks. That is only about $1.75 per one-hour episode. That's a fantastic deal for the most exciting, thrill-packed adrenalin rush possible on television. You can't come close to that much entertainment even by renting the DVDs, or what it would cost in monthly cable or satellite fees. I give this a five-star rating not only for the content, but for the deal.

Extremely Intense!, January 11, 2005
This review is from: 24: Seasons 1-3 (DVD)
"24" is one of the only primetime TV dramas I hold in high regard. For three whole seasons, and currently working on its fourth, "24" has met my criteria in what I would consider a high quality TV drama. However, it has also surpassed my expectations especially in the areas of suspense and predictability. The show centers itself around the character Jack Bauer, a CTU(Counter Terrorist Unit) Agent, whose job is to protect the United States from any Internal or External Terrorist Attack. The show takes you over the course of a single day (one episode covers one hour of that one particular day) in which Jack has to face a certain threat to national security. For the past three seasons, Jack has already faced the threat of assasination of a presidential candidate(season 1), threat of a nuclear attack on U.S. soil(season 2), and the threat of a nationwide biological attack(season 3). Kiefer Sutherland plays the role of Jack Bauer and does an awesome job in portraying the harsh, cold and relentless personality that Jack is given. But what really gives the show its edge is the level of suspense it has and how each separate event weaves itself into the personal life of Jack. And the show is extremely unpredictable because of the way it manipulates the characters to take on different roles, and who you thought would be the good guy, actually turns out to be the enemy. Sometimes you won't see what's coming until you've seen it all from beginning to end. So if you want suspense, and if you want action, I highly recommend "24".

Without Question - Absolutely Stunning Value & Presentation., June 14, 2005
This review is from: 24: Seasons 1-3 (DVD)
I only started watching 24 during the 4th series - so I never saw series 1-3. What an absolute treat these DVD's are! Many have already explained the you get something like 18 hours of solid viewing PER SERIES! - That's over 50 hours for the package. But here's the thing... it's totally addictive. I'm sorry, but I watched this thing almost back to back - it's just very powerful stuff. I'm a 24 junkie now... Shoot me... send me to rehab... Definitely the best value for money you could ever wish for and an amazing gift if you want to give something special - something really special. Series like Sopranos and Wire and stuff like that look very poor in comparison... and believe me, I'm a big fan of those too. 3 seasons of 24 for 100 bucks or so is just a no brainer... DO IT!
