24 - Season Two Customer Reviews (10 - 12 of 44 Reviews)

Enough already. But I can't stop.
More frustrating than the outlandish plot devices and cougar traps is the constant insubordinate behavior of professionals at all levels in the show. The only organizations that have any discipline are the bad ones. I'm sure, though, that in two week's I'll be all into the 3rd season. The show is compelling and fun and I can't stop popping in the next disc.

The scary part it that this is how people probably look at the political decision making process. Just remember its a cartoon and have fun counting down how long it takes someone to be implicated, taken hostage, or has to play a little subterfuge. Oh, and take a shot every time you hear "hey, it's me."

Frantic. Taut. Frenzied. Satisfying.
I never have a bad day anymore.

24 second season is as good (or better) as the first. The characters take on more depth and drama; especially President Palmer, his wife Sheri, and the staff. Not to mention our leading man, flawed-but-lovable-superhero, Jack Bauer.

This drama is just chock full of unexpected twists and turns, knife-edged drama, and heart-wrenching choices to be made. The pace is frantic and heart-pounding. The moral, political, and ethical dilemas keep cascading on top of one another until the viewer is on the edge of the seat anxious to see them all unravel.

This is terrific television and fun to watch; especially on DVD! You can watch four episodes in about 2hours and 30 minutes (not including popcorn breaks).



An original, fast-paced series...
First airing in November 2001, 24 quickly established itself as one of the best television series around and solidified itself as a cult classic icon. Utilizing a novel premise, each season of 24 comprises a single day in lives of its characters, with each of the 24 episodes representing a one-hour time segment of that day. Kiefer Sutherland stars in the imminent role of Jack Bauer, a government agent periodically faced with enormous challenges within a single day. Each season is reminiscent of a fast-paced Hollywood action thriller, but it's only a busy day in the life of the heroic Bauer...

Season 2 supposedly takes place eighteen months after Jack's big day in Los Angeles. Jack is now dealing with the death of his wife and is estranged from his daughter Kim. As a result, he contemplates retirement. But when President Palmer personally requests his help, Jack agrees to take on a new assignment. In so doing, Jack learns that a Middle-Eastern terrorist group called Second Wave is going to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles in the next 24 hours. Yet again the clock is ticking, and yet again, only Jack Bauer stands in the way of an evil conspiracy reaching its final fruition...

The 24 (Season 2) DVD features a number of breathtaking episodes including the season premiere which begins with President Palmer and his son fishing in an Oregon lake when he's called away for an emergency. Ushered into an underground bunker, he learns of a terrorist plot to set off a nuclear weapon in the Los Angeles area in the next 24 hours. At the CIA's Counter Terrorism Unit, George Mason is ordered to contact Jack Bauer in respect to the case, but it takes the personal appeal of President Palmer to move Jack into action. Meanwhile Kim, working as a housekeeper/nanny, overhears a domestic dispute between her boss and his wife, and she locks herself and the man's daughter in a bedroom. As the episode concludes, Jack learns that the key to uncovering the whereabouts of the nuclear device may lie with a domestic terrorist organization he once infiltrated... Other notable episodes from Season 2 include (#31) in which Jack and Nina set up a sting to see if a contact can lead them to the site of the bomb, and (#46) in which Jack stands on the verge of making a break in the case but has his efforts thwarted by the president's ex-wife, who's involved in the terrorist conspiracy...
