24 - Season One

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Television
Review: The only show my wife and I watch religiously is Law and Order, and we usually end up watching half of the episodes. When 24 hit, we were home every Tuesday night, watching this show. It was intelligent, intense, and completely entertaining. I don't know if they can repeat what they did in season 2, but here's hoping they can catch the magic. If they do half as good a job in season 2, it will still be the best show on TV.

Summary: Great series, great deal.
Review: 24 was easily last season's best show in my opinion. Yes, better than Sopranos, better than West Wing. Getting the whole season, which is like a great 24 hour movie, is simply a steal at the asking price. If you enjoy a quality drama, spring on this.

Summary: The Best Show Ever
Review: When I saw 24 on FOX last fall on TV, I thought it was amazing and the most creative and original idea ever put on TV. And I think it's great that it is being put on DVD and I for one will be the first to buy it that day that it comes out

Summary: okay series
Review: well the first couple hours are pretty good but around the 2 pm hour it get's a bit exhausting...you would probably just want to skip through most of it and just watch it until 12, then skip the rest until the last 3 hours. if your a die hard fan of the show then i would go for it but if you werent a die hard fan i would pass on it because of the level that it takes so long to get through the series...plus if you've already seen the whole series it loses it's appeal because some of it's fun was guessing on all the twists and turns the show had, once you know those the show wouldnt be worth anything.

Summary: Season 1
Review: By the time we hit noon I hated that show. I know the plan was to do everything in real time (reel time?), but for God sake the girl gets kidnapped 3 times in 24 hours? We had lesbian lover assasins, drug selling teen kidnappers, Eastern Europopean terrorist, a manipulating presidential candidates wife (not to mention his killer son.) and a half dozen secret goverment agencies.And did we really need the male prostitute in the alley scene? Oh yeah, it was Fox. The 24 hour gimmick just didn't work for me. Not a terrible idea, but not well executed. The thing that bothers me most was the DVD is referred to as "24 Season 1".

Summary: The countdown is on...
Review: There is, quite simply, no way around how much this series rocks!! I'm so glad to see that this DVD release has already been so well received (I placed my order the day I heard...now I'm shopping for DVD players). I think it's also great that, for a series that didn't get near the ratings it deserved (it finished at #73 in the Nielsens), not one reviewer so far has given this show less than a 5-star rating. I'm not going to say all the same things that the last 27 reviewers wrote here...their words speak for themselves. All I want to do is thank FOX for having the foresight to release this show before the start of the second season, and to say one thing that everyone else HAS stated so far...WATCH THIS SHOW!! You won't be sorry that you did.

Summary: Best Series on Television....but....
Review: I watched this series during it's run on FOX and while it kept you guessing, in the end, it did so at the expense of it's own credibility. Mid-way through it became clear the writers did not know what to do with characters - ie. Terri Bauer - and finally wrote themselves an out for future seasons using a cheat that insulted the regular viewers. This is a "must watch", but the ending is manipulative to the point of being anti-climatic. 3 out of 5 stars for effort, but could have been much better.

Summary: That's not a clock ticking, it's your heart beating!!
Review: Much has been written about it being hard to start watching this show if you start late. This is far from true. I started watching at episode 12 (11am to 12pm) just to see what all the buzz was about. When a show is as well written and acted as "24", you can't help but care about what's gonna happen next and want to keep watching. Kiefer Sutherland is amazing as Jack Bauer. Hopefully he will get an Emmy nod for his brilliant performance. This character is very complex and he is totally believable as a man who feels unglued as the wall between his "agent" life and family life crumbles down. I like that his marriage is flawed and Terri Bauer gets angry at him for shutting her out so much in the past. All the characters are so well written that even the bad guys are unique. Hopefully now Kiefer Sutherland's bio will stop saying "the guy who Julia Roberts dumped two days before the wedding" to "the award winning star of the best show on all of television". Am looking forward to the bonus features planned for the DVD set. Buy this DVD set, invite all your friends over and have a "24" pajama party and stay up for 24 hours and watch it from start to end!!
