Summary: One of the most exciting shows around.
Review: This show takes place in real time. Events happen in real time. The whole show takes over one day. The whole thing is exciting and things happen you never think would happen. Great show. Watch it. You wont be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get ready to be on the edge of your chair! Overall: 4.5
Review: Pros: Starts well, ends decently, the middle, though, is a big mess, Kiefer Sutherland, Penny Johnson, Dennis Haysbert, Sarah Clarke, and maybe Elisha Cuthbert, Amazing show, Beautiful Audio/Video transfer, Highly suspenseful, intelligent, and engrossing show. The acting and writing are both terrific. Novel idea, suspenseful plot with interesting and realistic characters, beautiful transfer, sound.

Cons: Loses focus, badly cast supporting roles, not enough ideas to go around, Plot holes and side tracks! I want Alberta Green BACK in this series, Could have had more extra's, A few stumbles, complete lack of extras is frustrating, no chapter searches within episodes, the time laps seems impossible such as jack and many characters doing many things in 1 hour, which is impossible in our real society today.

Overall, I would give it a 4.5!

Summary: It is sure one hell of a show
Review: 24 redefined television and became one of the best Television Series ever made. And what's better...you can see it all again on DVD. The 6-Disc set has all 24 episodes. But it really isn't in completely real time, due to the stupid commercials FOX had to put in, so it usually skips over 15 minutes of content. For example: The clock goes to 9:46:03 and then the commericials end, and it's at 9:52:35. But there are no commercials on the DVD =). And thats a good thing too. This is the best Collection of DVDs I will ever own, until season two comes out on DVD, in Sept. 2nd, 2003.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PERFECT!
Review: Simply put, this is the best box set on the market. 24 is a dramatic show, with incredible story line. it's suspensful storyline keeps you on the edge of your seat. And a unique ending makes this show the best on TV. No matter what kind of shows you watch, 24 is a sure hit for you. Keifer Sutherland is a federal agent that has 24 hours to stop a terrorist group plotting to assasinate the president of the United States, while rescuing his family. You'll find yourself not being able to stop watching this show once you've started. GET THIS SET!

Summary: Best show ever made

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Disk 3 is the crucial one.
Review: Being a big fan of this show I was thrilled when season one was released on DVD. In my opinion, the episodes on disk 3 are most important (and also most entertaining) to all viewers, whether you are watching this series all over again or just watching it for the first time, because not until now does its intriguing plot begin to unfold, and boy does it unfold in a brilliant manner. I had to watch episode 12 twice in a row and enjoyed every minute (yeah, some pun intended) of the initial and intense confrontations between four main characters, Jack/David and Teri/Nina. We rarely see television actors perform their roles this well, trust me. Actually I gotta say that I am kind of disappointed about Penny Johnson being cast as Sherry Palmer and Vicellous Reon Shannon as Keith Palmer, but I am totally amazed at the performances of Kiefer Sutherland, Dennis Haysbert, Leslie Hope and Sarah Clarke, as Jack Bauer, David Palmer, Teri Bauer and Nina Myers, respectively.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As good as TV can get
Review: The show has a few qualities that are rare for Network television.
1) Unique visual editing, spanning between scenes with multiple windows
2) Unique sound editing. The sound is cinema quality. You don't get that on television much
3) Great and refreshing writing. The protagonist is hardly the do everything by the book guy. He is as close to super hero as it comes. He does what it takes to win. But more to the point, you don't know what will happen next. The twists and turns are rocky and entertaining.
4) Realtime aspect. Though at points you'd wonder how someone can travel LA so easily, overall, the 24 hour concept in realtime is great.

The best television as far as thrillers and suspense go.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply the BEST.
Review: This show is just amazing, simply the BEST. I don't understand why 24 and Kiefer Sutherland didn't win the Emmy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great series, not so great DVD boxset
Review: I got attached to "24" since the very first episode. Every element in the show is great --performances, script, editing. Sadly, the DVD boxset is not as good as it should be, considering that "24" is certainly one of the best American TV shows ever. The episodes aren't divided in chapters, and there's a lack of extra features. So, even if the series deserves 5 out of 5, the DVD deserves 4. Still, I strongly recommend to buy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best show on TV
Review: I have to take a day off for this... watched 1-13 in one night, go to bed for 4hrs and wake up finished the rest. Buy it or rent it, you don't know what you missed!
