Summary: Season Two Falls Far from the Original
Review: An all-star cast returns in FOX's poweful drama 24. Once again Kiefer Sutherland picks up the roll as Jack Bauer, a former federal agent for the governmnet's Counter Terrorist Unit. He also takes the roll as executive producer for the television show, and it's downhill from there. Viewers who are watching the show for the first time will be on the edge of their seats, as season two gives them the feeling of watching a great show on television. Fans will be very disappointed in the delivery of this season's storyline, for it doesn't give the feeling of viewing a long but very good movie as the first season did. The story of a rouge nuclear weapon on American soil would have been a good one, if the writers had known where they were going with it. Characters were introduced and dropped in the nezt two episodes, such as Sarah Clarke's Nina Myers. Elisha Cuthbert's character Kim Bauer makes stupid and unneeded mistakes that were just used to keep the show interesting and to have a pretty woman in it. The acting, editing, musical score is fantastic unlike the show itself. After seeing this and the first season, it feels as if the writers tried to out match the previous season with its assasination story but fall far from it.

Summary: The best show on TV
Review: With the exception of the Kim Bauer story lines, this season surpassed the first on almost every level. Is Jack suicidal following the murder of Terri? Is Mason a coward or a hero? Is the one innocent-appearing "victim" in the whole sordid affair in fact the deepest mole of all? What is motiviating the coup d'etat in the White House? Like "The Sopranos," "24" unfolds like a brilliant novel--you can't wait to get to the next chapter. With sharp writing (Kim Bauer aside) that unfolds brilliant twists and one shocking finale after another, I can't remember liking television so much. Can't wait for the release of this season...hopefully it will hold me until the premiere of Season Three. If you haven't seen Season One, which is uniformly excellent, you should really start there. If you get to watch both seasons fresh at your own pace on DVD, I am jealous of you. I had to wait 7 or more days for each episode.

Summary: 24 and falling
Review: Let me first of all say that "24" has been the greatest show EVER. My whole week revolved around that show. Now that it is gearing up for the next season I am finding out all kinds of things that may happen. One that I hope WILL NOT be is the write up on the so called "babe",Jack's daughter Kim. How anyone can say she is an actress must have mud for brains. She has got to be the WORST actess I have seen on TV in a long time. Her situations are unbelievable, her lines are stupid and her expressions are even more stupid. How one teenager can get herself in the situations she has been in comes right out of the "true romance" novels. Totally unbelievable. She needs to move to Ohio with her aunt and stay there. Or wherever Jack was sending her before the bomb went off. Please send her away. If the next "24" has her as "coming out of the closet", I will positively turn my TV off. ... Please don't do it. Let Kim move to Ohio with her aunt and leave Keifer to "24". Hopefully there will be enough static on this and the writers for 24 will listen and not let this show become another one to bite the dust.
Looking forward to NOT seeing Kim,

Summary: Still Hooked! Imagine that!
Review: As with any show, that becomes an addiction ... there is that sense of suspicion about the 2nd season meeting the same level as the first. For the most part, you can toss these concerns aside and dive into the Bauer chronicles. In a 1st season review, I said and will re-iterate here, it has taken a good 15 years of channel surfing to finally find a fantastic and innovative series I can admire.As to the 2nd season, it is replete with great moments. I love to figure out what is happening during every episode, and when I think I have it ... I go down in flames. I guess wrong. And I love that. Imagine entertainment has daisy chained perfect foils. Be surprised. Each episode keeps you hooked and Tuesdays don't come soon enough. The only problem I have is Kim's interruptions. And from the grapevine, I hear she will be entering a lesbian relationship and doesn't want to tell Jack, her father, in the 3rd season. Why? What's intense and heart pounding about THAT! I want NSA, NOT social/cultural/soap box commentary. Several of my friends do not like the Kim's character, and her situations are totally goofed up writing. Not at all believeable, and seem to be an afterthought. It's like Palmer's son never appearing in the 2nd season. Thank you for delivering me from that pain. Do the same with Kim, I'm begging here. Putting her aside, I can honestly say: Watch It! The discussions Wed. AM at work are the best. AND buy the DVD's. I see the 2nd season will have "extras." Yeah! And, Keifer ... get the movie "24" made. 24 is superb 'Imagine'ative entertainment.

Summary: A Tom Clancy Novel on Television
Review: 24 has done what no other show in televison has done before, they have mastered the art of taking 5 different people and simultaniously showing their day. By then end of the season you feel like you know the characters and think this might actually be a real story. The way it is produced makes it seem like it goes faster than it is. It doesnt seem like a full season by the time it ends. To take the ability to take a Tom Clancy novel with all of its characters and points of view and make it into an easy to follow, suspenceful and action packed 24 episodes is probably one of the greatest accomplishments of Televison Arts today (NOTE: Tom Clancy Novels are not being reproduced in this show as episodes or seasons).

Summary: Great show!
Review: It's not hype. 24 is arguably the best show currently in production! Very creative and suspenseful. Excellent weekly cliff-hangers keep you coming back for more. It's definitely an action-packed, keep you on the edge of your seat show. The interweaving of subplots was done very well, but I have to agree with several other people that the "Kim" storyline is pretty lame. Her predicaments leave you wondering how anyone could be so dumb... I guess it's good contrast for Sutherland's super-agent character, so it balances out. Considering the entire season is crammed into a single 24 hour period, they've done a fantastic job with developing strong characters very quickly.

Summary: One Of The Best Shows On Network TV
Review: Day 2: Jack Bauer (Kiefer Southerland) has twenty-four hours to stop a terrorist cell from detonating a nuclear bomb in downtown Los Angeles. This is my favorite show on television. No network TV show keeps its viewers on their edge of their seats like this show. This season had about six or seven dramatic plot twists and periods of intense action. However, I take issue with a couple of things about the second season. First, Elisha Cuthbert's character (Kim Bauer) seems to always find herself in a life or death situation and not just once in twenty-four hours but two or three times during the last two seasons. Her character has been kidnapped, held against her will, involved in a drug bust, arrested and jailed then kidnapped again. That was just the first season. I believe they need to re-examine Cuthbert's character before the start of the third season. The next issue I have is with the way it ended. Since the show had begun, the premise was to have a show that took place over the course of an entire day. Presumably, the show would end with the closing of the twenty-fourth hour. Season two did not end at the that point. Rather they left the story hanging so they could continue it next season. I thought they should have ended the season immediately but despite these issues, I don't believed that the overall integrity of the show was damaged. If you like edge-of-your-seat drama, incredible plot twist and intense periods of action, then "24" is a show for you.

Summary: 10 Emmy Nominations - Need we say more?
Review: This TV series is the best show period. It has action, suspense, drama, comedy and Elisha Cuthbert. It's highly addictive and has a cult following so you might as well join in. You may already know the premise of the show (24 hours - 24 episodes one hour each), but during one of the last episodes of season 2 there is a scene where Ms Palmer is at a football stadium. In this stadium is a very large clock. The editors of this movie had set the time to this clock at 7:24 (I believe) and the plot of the story was exactly at 7:24. With this much attention to detail, you can rest-assure that you're going to get your money's worth. 24's biggest fan
