Jack Bauer is back and better than before!!!
As this season opens, Jack Bauer's (Kiefer Sutherland) life is falling apart. His wife was murdered, and his daughter, Kim has disowned him. Suddenly he gets a call from the President of the United States (expertly portrayed by Dennis Haysbert) asking him to stop a terrorist plot to detonate a nuclear weapon in Los Angeles.
Upon accepting the mission, Jack is thrust into an emotional game of mystery and deciet as he goes undercover to uncover the location of the bomb. One of the highlights of the season is when Jack is reunited with Nina Myers (Sara Clarke), Jack's former co-worker at the Counter-Terrorist Unit, who is responsible for murdering his wife.
The real-time aspect of the show helps to build the tension as things get steadily worse for Jack Bauer. Attention is given to every minor detail in order to maintain consistancy throughout the story.
The characters constantly change throughout the story as the situations gets more intense. George Mason, Jack's untrusting boss, learns to respect Jack's unconventional methods and in the end is willing to sacrifice himself so that Jack can have a second chance to put his life back together. Tony, Jack's friend, will eventually try to hinder Jack's investigation, which has the potential to prevent an all-out war!
Based on the features of the previous DVD, we can expect the season to be presented in the Widescreen format, with surround sound, and a preview of what is to come in Season three. I know I speak for every fan of this series when I say I can't wait!

Even Better than the First season
The second season of 24 was sensational in terms of Suspense, action,plot and specially character development. Also some people complained that this was just another way of America exploiting the war on terrorism. Well i am a MUSLIM and i disagree. Its just a tv series not a documentary. It wasn't meant to be taken seriously or inflict more hatred of Americans towards the Arab World. In a lot of the James Bond movies the villains were mostly Russian but that wasn't because Americans had a grudge against Russia. And in Speed Dennis Hopper played an American terrorist but it didn't mean that the writers of Speed hated their country. It was just a movie. So if you didn't like it just say so but don't say that you didn't like ONLY because of the refrence to the war on terrorism!

Anyway in Season 2 a nuclear bomb has been planted in Los Angeles. President David Palmer has no choice but to call Jack back to CTU for another day of hardships. Mason, the new head, is, of course, not happy about this. Now, his daughter Kim is running from her employer, who is threatening to kill her. Palmer now must deal with his political staff, most of which are plotting against his actions on how to deal with the crisis. And Jack must face the toughest challenge of his life... finding the bomb with aid from the woman who killed his wife, Nina Myers. The clock is ticking...

A small warning though. Season 2 is a lot more violent than the first. TWO THUMBS UP!!!!!!!

The Problem with 24
24 represents some of the best story telling and acting that has ever been on television. But that does not mean that it's without serious faults. The most dominant of which is the grotesque liberal writing, especially in Season 2. The most obvious problem with the writing is the utter lack of concern to writing stories that are polarizing. You will either love or hate the story agenda.

What we have here are writers that are pushing a liberal notion of saving the world that one will either choose to believe or find offensive.
