Summary: Very Intense
Review: This Show is so intense that I find myself more than biting my nails. It's a great show Season 1 was great but season 2 is even better. This does not feel like a tv show it feels like a movie. I have bought season 1 on DVD which doesn't have much features but is still worth the money for the show.

Summary: Incredible, incredible, incredible
Review: To try to sum up "24" in 1,000 words or less is impossible. The show is crafted with master precision; each episode has exquisite drama, heart pounding suspense, and, in many cases, action. The characters pull you into the fold and make you passionately care about them. The story is intriguing and beautiful. The actors mesh the characters and the story into one astounding presentation."24," the DVD collection, does suffer from a lack of commentaries and chapter control. After viewers have watched the series, they're dying to know what the creators or actors thought of each scene as it was filmed or prepared. However, as previously mentioned, "24" is not great because of commentaries or chapter control; it's great in and of itself. Season 1, collected into one package, allows anyone with a DVD player to experience the phenomenon that is "24." Highly recommended for ANYONE. One can only hope that Season 2 will be available on DVD as well.

Summary: Unbelievably amazing for a tv show!
Review: I never watched this when it was firts on tv. I started watching at Season 2 and was immediately hooked! I got Season 1 to "catch up" on what I was missing and found out that Season 1 is just as exciting and nail biting as Season 2. I have not been dissapointed by this Series and I will continue to watch it as long as it's on! The DVD set is amazing and without commercials, it really plays like a great suspense movie. I highly recommend this tv show and DVD set!

Summary: Great show, bad DVD
Review: Don't get me wrong, I love 24. It's one of my favorite, if not my most favorite TV show of all time. The story is intense, the actors are great, and its format is truely revolutionary, congrats to all who participated. However, I have a problem with the way this series was arranged on DVD. While the price is fairly reasonable for 6 CD's and every episode (certainly a premium with the 24 hour format), the DVD rendition is sloppy. It feels like a rush job, from the lack of extras (no trailers, no TV spots, no commentaries, no special features, virtually no language options, just a 90-second intro by Keifer Sutherland) and the alternate ending to the final episode (which really isn't that different, it only differs from the regular episode by a few minutes, the bad guy is still the same, and the only thing that changes is the status of Bauer's wife). On at least one occaision the transfer is fuzzy with a hair on the screen, and there is no chapter selection in the episodes. Lose your place and be prepared to fast-forward through the whole thing until you find where you left off.
As I mentioned above, the quality of the series is excellent. If the rendion of this show onto DVD was as good as many other series such as the X-files with it's whole disk of bonus features and extras, then I would not be able to recommend this product highly enough. Of course, critics will point out that this is beacuse the X-files have been around nearly 10 years now; it makes sense that they would be able to take their time making a quality transfer. This is true, but I still think it would have been worth the wait if they had taken their time and done a better job of it with 24. While this is a great way of getting your hands on every episode and being able to fully enjoy the series at your own pace, I must say I am disappointed by the format.

Summary: EXCELLENT!
Review: I got hooked on this show after one episode! I immediately bought Season 1 and it was money well spent! I watched all 6 DVD's in less than week and all I can say is MORE!!!! I'm sad I didn't catch on sooner, 'cause I've missed half of the 2nd season, but will be buying the DVD's when they are out! Keifer Sutherland does a tremendous job! The first season was truly amazing. I wanted MORE. The cast, crew are excellent. I never knew what was coming until it hit. The ending was a bit crushing, but overall, the show is summed up in one statement: It's the best show your not watching! So tune in NOW! Your missing sooooo much. It's a hook-line-and sinker show! You've got to watch it!!!!

Summary: A True Orginial
Review: Watching the pilot episode was all it took to get me hooked to 24. I eagerly waited for the next episode to come on to keep up with the story. Now that it's on DVD, I can relive that entire day over again without waiting a week for the next show.

Summary: An Excellent Show!
Review: This is a great TV show and the DVD is the best way to watch it. I never saw Season 1 on TV when it was on, but I thought I'd try the DVD. I was hooked immediately! 24 has everything: a great plot, excellent characters, and so many twists and turns that you are always on the edge of your seat. There is always something going on and very few slow spots. Since the show is all about one day, you should really watch them in order, and the DVD allows you watch them commercial free and continuously. I was so addicted I watched four episodes (one disc) a night. If I weren't working, I could watch the whole season straight through.

Summary: Sheer brilliance
Review: The first season of "24" was absolutely genius. The character development, the interaction between good and evil, and the amazing action scenes (especially the scene at the dock in the last episode) have made this my favorite television series. Owning the DVD makes it that much easier to relive the incredible events of the first season. I could not recommend this more highly to anyone who loves good television. You could even treat this as a 16-hour movie, in which case, it's definitely worth watching. The real-time format of the show is a gimmick that works very well, but even without it, "24" would still be a gem.

Summary: Sheer Heart Attack
Review: The first 12 hours of this series are so unbearably suspenseful the DVD ought to come with some sort of warning for the infirm, the faint of heart, and those expecting a traditional spy flick. Never has gut-wrenching terror been so much fun. The plot is the same CIA/political assassination/family in danger hugger-mugger we've all seen a thousand times before. The difference here is the beautiful execution. Few feature films have been so unnerringly directed for maximum suspense. The writers somehow manage to make most of this super-plotty intrigue spring from their surprisingly complex characters. Despite the real-time, the drama comes from choices as much as logistics. It's also amazingly sustained. Though the series takes a slight breather after episode 13, the thickening plot and solid characterizations keep it addictive. Only in the final three hours does 24 run out of gas, as Dennis Hopper's direct-to-video Serbian accent signals a descent into standard action flick silliness that includes a misguided repitition of the done to death family-in-danger bit, a 'shocking' final twist that makes little sense and does nothing for the story, and a tragic ending made to somehow seem irrelevant to everything else going on. But, why quibble? Taken as a massive single story, 24 is punishingly addictive, a genuine thrill ride. If it can't sustain all the way to the finish, few would have expected it to get so far, so fantastically.
