5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazing series, BUT..., December 13, 2005
This review is from: 24: Seasons 1-4 (DVD)
Why do they put SPOILER images of the episode you're about to watch in the main menu??? Every season there are at least a couple DVDs that show which person is going to die or get captured. Keep the menus neutral so I don't know what's going to happen before I watch it!
One of the best action series ever written for television, IMO.

TV should not be this good!!!, May 29, 2006
This review is from: 24: Seasons 1-4 (DVD)
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.

WOW!!!, May 16, 2006
This review is from: 24: Seasons 1-4 (DVD)
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.
