I had been under a rock (okay, driving a big truck all over 48 states) since 2002, and had never seen a single episode of "24" until I retired recently. I did not miss TV during those years, but I heard a lot of commentary about "24", so I decided to check it out. What.a.ride! I watched the first season over a weekend, and it was amazingly fast paced, with multi-threaded plot lines. But, I suppose everyone else already knows that -- and if you don't know that, just watch the first episode. You can watch just one episode, just like you can eat one potato chip...

When I signed up for Amazon Prime, I expected to save a bundle on shipping, and I do since I get several orders from Amazon each month. Savings on shipping pales in comparison to savings on streaming video: two seasons of "24" would be "break even" for a Prime membership!

With a decade of TV and Movies to catch up on, I expect to be wearing out the video servers at Amazon, especially when my Kindle Fire gets here :)

i've watched 24 (all the seasons) several times and it never gets old. season 1 is one of the best (if not THE best) seasons - it's fast-paced, intelligent, gripping... the danger of starting it is that you'll want to (or, more like *need* to) keep watching episode after episode to find out what happens next. highly recommended!

How can you not love 24...AWESOME It is the first season of an epic series. You cannot go wrong with it.

I must say: Thank You Mr. Kiefer Sutherland. You did a Great work. You did a Great job at exposing all our human characters. You showed us, how easy we can be corrupted and how hard, with a lot of pain, it takes to repair our mistakes. Thanks again.

We watched this on Amazon Prime and the picture and sound were excellent. We were another family that had missed out on 24 when it was being broadcast and I may be happy about that; it's hard to imagine waiting an entire week to move to the next hour of action. The concept follows an anti-terrorism unit over the course of one 24 hour day and each episode represents one hour of that day.

The story is very interesting and well done although very intense; it just never lets down. I told my wife it reminded me of one of the old Saturday morning fun club cliff-hanger serials that would leave the viewer hanging in suspense as to what would happen in the next episode.

Our daughter recommended this one to us and told us she gotten hooked on it and started watching it one evening and didn't stop until 3 AM the next morning at which point she decided she really did need some sleep. Whereas we didn't watch that much at one sitting we did have a hard time waiting to watch it in installments.

By way of summary it's exciting, intense, and has good sound and picture; I recommend it for older children and adults.

Great service!

It would be nice if there was volume, it isn't working. If it were working, this would be 5 stars.

Watching 24 (or maybe it's so over the top that they now have to call it "25") in rapid succession a la the boxed set, will CURE YOU OF THIS STUFF FOREVER. I was sick to my stomach after watching about 1/3 of this boxed set. The absolute clincher for me was watching some sicko (posing as the girl's father, no less) smother a beautiful 17 (?) year-old girl to death in a hospital bed. Her body wriggling as the life left her. S*I*C*K

Someone else said it: this behavior just puts a flag on some really disturbing behavior. As with many police-type shows - Law and Order SVU in particular - rape, killing and the most heinous graphic depictions of blood dripping from someone's skull, or their fingers being severed to get a finger print - this behavior is simply glorified. Most folks would turn off the local news and picket the television station if they dared to air this type of sensory-dulling lunacy. AND... the folks who produce this stuff push the envelope with every passing iteration.

Back in the day the "War" book was banned for its graphic images. Folks, if you're not paying attention, that stuff will soon be main-stream.

I'll admit, 24 had me hooked and getting a dousing of it by popping in one DVD after another cured me of it COMPLETELY.

Real life is so much more interesting. There's already so much death and violence around us that having it cooked up, with gelatine blood and brains and pumped into our lives is just not right.

Once a week? eh... Sit down for hours of this stuff at a time and your copies will be on ebay.

Go live some of your own 24's for goodness sake.

Keifer found his place in Monsters vs. Aliens. I think he is a great action-flick actor. I'll imagine that he's type-cast himself rather resoundingly.

Got started on this series expecting to watch via prime thru the first season. Guess this was just a teaser to get you to buy the remaining episodes from Amazon?
If this is a trend with instant prime videos, no thanks.
