Summary: Seriously hilarious!
Review: Nice thriller, but over the top in some places.Stuff that gets repeated over and over to the point that it gets hilarious:
1- Q: "Jack, what's your status with key witness X?"
Jack: "Key witness X is dead."
2- Jack: "I'm running out of time!" (shoots someone)
3- "What are you going to do now?"
4- President Palmer: "Whatever I decide now, I'll change my mind an hour from now! I wonder why they think I'm indecisive..."
5- "We must keep this bomb thing a secret." (Tells everybody)
6- "I'll tell you everything you want to know, provided I get
immunity/presidential pardon. In writing"
7- Working in close proximity to the President means you never have to shave/take a shower/eat
8- There's always a bigger/nastier villain than the one we met in the previous hour
9- When we are finally shown the big-bad-super-duper-villain at the end, I kept looking for the white cat with a diamond collar
10- Some of the female characters made the whole thing feel like an overgrown and violent afternoon soap.

Summary: The Clock is Ticking... Again
Review: If you thought the first season was explosive and intense, wait until you get a load of "24: Season Two." Filled with non-stop thrills, chills, excitement, devastating turn-of-events, tragedy and action, this second season proves to be a better success over the first one. Make sure you've strapped your seatbelt in and prepare for one hell of a ride. It's been well over a year since the horrible events that happened to Jack Bauer and his family. Not working for CTU anymore, Jack's life is a complete mess because he constantly blames himself for what happened to them. Things drastically change when he gets a phone call from the President, telling him that there's a nuclear bomb that is set to go off in Los Angeles at any time during the day. Bauer goes back to work for CTU and is once again faced with a 24-hour catastrophe that could very well bring the next World War. Again, I was hooked right after the first episode and wanted to watch more. It's great to watch the season for the first time on DVD because you can watch as many episodes as you like. I don't know if I could just watch one episode a week. If you thought the first season was a real nail-biter, trust me, you haven't seen anything yet. The second season offers more twists and turns that will make your body ache in every place. You're afraid to watch, fearing that the worst could happen... but, you still do. That's the kind of effect this show has on you. Be warned (again), this is NOT an easy show to watch. Anything bad you think can happen most likely will. They do not let you off easy with this show. You will see some terrible things. I'm shocked that this isn't on HBO instead of Fox, as I think they get away with a lot of stuff. Then again, that's what's so great about it. It literally breaks all of the rules. The show gets very disturbing and hard to watch. Just be prepared. The DVD set this time around is EXCELLENT; offering more features than before. The show is widescreen, which really gives you the impression that you're watching a real movie. The picture and sound quality is great, especially for a TV show. Extra features included are over 40 deleted scenes, commentary for selected shows, featurettes and more. There's even a 7th disk included that is dedicated to bonus material. A great package, in my humble opinion. "24: Season Two" is an addicting joy-ride that will leave you sweating and shaking. It is almost impossible to only watch one episode; you're going to want to watch them all! "24" is really an outstanding show that pushes the envelope every step of the way. Get ready and expect the unexpected and think the unthinkable. This is a rough and unpredictable ride that will leave you wanting more.

Summary: This DVD set makes the series even better viewing.
Review: Being able to watch this second series over a weekend gave a much tighter perspective on the proceedings. Kim's role seemed very feeble when watching it week by week, but appeared much more satisfactory when watching it like this. To a lesser extent this applied to the other characters and the plot development as a whole, with any plot holes being less obvious, since the viewer is kept in the loop for much longer periods of time, as the hours segue into one another. I was also impressed by how well this series looks, in terms of its lighting and set- design. My only gripe is the short to-black pauses as some scenes cut from one character's section to another. This is one to frequently enjoy, at your convenience.

Summary: And You Thought Season One Was Hard To Watch!
Review: I really didn't think that they could surpass season one. But dang was I wrong. Season Two makes Season One looks hallow somehow (though still excellent). I still can't believe what they did to David at the end. Makes me wonder how hard season three will be to watch.

Summary: A rare TV show I enjoy
Review: I always wanted to watch the first series, but am normally too busy to sit down and watch a show that consistently. When I finally did, I enjoyed it, but it rang a bit hollow to me. This second season is much better, especially Keifer Sutherland. The dark and disturbed edge of Jack Bauer this season brings much more depth to his character and is never overblown. While I originally thought offing his wife in the first season was a mistake, it led to a great change in his character. Xander Berkley as George Mason is also a very well done tragic character. My main complaint is Kim. My friend called her "a walking Darwin award" and I couldn't agree more. There seems to be a problem in 24 with most of the women being either stupid or manipulative (which is another reason not to give this 5 stars), but she's by far the dumbest. Whenever they go to her subplot I cringe, and then laugh while they're playing out. I see the need for a tie to Jack's family, but the writers either need to get her better integrated into the story, stop her from running into every sleazy guy stereotype (the loner militia guy, the cartoonish wife beater), or just get rid of her altogether. Otherwise, I really enjoy this show. I still can't bring myself to be tied to my TV every week, but as long as they bring out the seasons on DVD, I look forward to more Jack Bauer goodness.

Summary: Even better than the first one
Review: I loved the first season but the second one beat the first. It seems that all the plot twists are very logical and this wasn't always the case in the first season. Also, I liked the fact the Jack Bauer' family is not involved as much as during the first season, especially his daughter. And again, great acting.

Summary: Worth The Purchase, Trust Me.....
Review: All I can say is that I never would have thought that the second season would be better than the first. After watching the whole season(which only took me four days because its so good) I was amazed at how great it really was. I think it was even better than the first season and it will keep you dying for more. Buy it, and if you don't have the first season, buy it too.

Summary: THE BEST SERIES ON TV!!!
Review: Joel Surnow & Robert Cochran couldn't create a more suspenseful week-to-week thriller! The writing and acting is Golden Globe material. Nobody could play Jack Bauer other than Kiefer Sutherland. He steals the show. Elisha Cuthbert is sexy and great as Kimberly Bauer. Dennis Haysbert protrays a president with honor (President David Palmer) with excellence. Carlos Bernard as Tony Almeida keeps CTU on its toes. Newcomer Sarah Wynter is wonderful with her facial expressions as Kate Warner. Penny Johnson Jerald (as Sherry Palmer) is up to her old tricks as she seeks revenge on her ex-husband David. Sarah Clarke again plays the great Villainess Nina Myers. And Xander Berkeley is very touching as George Mason.
THIS IS A MUST-OWN-DVD SET FOR EVERYONE!!

Summary: Sequel Success
Review: I thought that after the first season, the 2nd season of 24 will be a big disappointment, much like most sequels. I was wrong. The action is just as intense, probably more as the stakes are higher. This TV show is simply awesome. This is the first TV show I have collected on DVD and it is worth every cent. The bad part of watching this show is, after you watch it, every other TV series seems sooo slow and unexciting, as the bar is raised so high here. Great Show. I hope to see more of Jack Bauer and co.

Summary: Quality television for the adreniline junkie.
Review: Fans of season one wondered how the creative team behind "24" could out do themselves in season two. One nuclear warhead later, that question was satisfied. Jack Bauer, a recluse since the finale of season one, gets a call from now President Palmer. He needs Bauer to thwart a reported terrorist threat. Jack reluctantly rejoins CTU to get the ball rolling. It's another long day for the most dedicated law enforcement professional on the planet. Fortunately, he dies for a few seconds to get some rest. The storyline with daughter Kim stretches the imagination to the breaking point. And, the fact that President Palmer and Jack Bauer never actually are in the same room together never seems to matter. If possible, a stronger season than the first.
