Wow, what an adrenalin ride this series is. Season five proved to be in "24" style a non-stop adventure with twist up until the last episode. I became addicted to 24 when I unknowingly rented season one from the video store. In a few short months we have viewed all seasons that are released. We like this show, but struggle with some of it's political presentations. Season 5 had all the same torture scenes and weak women characters (could the writers put atleast one strong non-narotic woman character that stays alive?) that we don't like, but it included a plot by the government that most accurately represents the kind of decisions our government is making for us today. Really there is no need to review this item, because once you start watching 24, you can't stop. They got us hooked, no matter how good or bad the show is. Good thing that above all else, Jack is the ultimate stud, the acting is good and it is overall a quality production.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Great, binge watching TV. Lots of action and intrigue. Great characters.

One would think that after one or two seasons of a fictional story regarding threats to national security and the 'normal' manipulation of power in the world of politics, the story would end. Not so, and part of what is fascinating about 24 are the seemingly inconsequential connections amongst the characters, which smack of reality and even gender based politics in the work place. I'm still hooked, and I just ordered the DVD pack for the next season.

Posted by CK-Auctions I love the Netfliks & Blockbuster Rental services so I've seen my fair share of movies out there and it's not something I'm fond of admitting, but I've never caught a single episode of Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran's 24 on TV. Not one. In fact, if it weren't for the constant "Fox News" plugs during every other episode, I probably wouldn't even know what channel it aired on. Thanks to the convenience of DVD, I was converted to a fan of the nail-biting series a few short years ago, and I haven't looked back since. 24 is simply one of the most addicting shows you'll find on network TV (or digital cable, for that matter), combining an irresistible real-time premise with layered characters, emotional drama, potent action sequences and never-ending cliffhangers. Simply put, every episode feels like a season finale. Having first been intrigued with 24 after reading the kinetic Season 1 DVD it didn't take long for yours truly to make a purchase. It did, however, take a few months for me to eventually watch it; having been forewarned of the show's addicting formula, I planned to delay the marathon until my schedule cleared up a bit. After an unexpected week-long break arose during the holiday season, I devoured the first boxed set in roughly five days. Since then, I've looked forward to the annual 24 DVD block each and every year---and though I could easily catch it on TV, something tells me I couldn't handle the constant wait every week. Season 5 works so well because the threats are more formidable and varied than ever, even though a few are slightly borrowed from earlier seasons. This time around, terrorists have acquired a collection of Sentox nerve gas, though how they were acquired remains a mystery for some time. Strategically placed in and around the Los Angeles area, these canisters of gas pose a threat to CTU and the general public many different times throughout the day. The returning President Charles Logan (Gregory Itzen) proves to be an interesting leader in his own right, appearing cowardly, sympathetic, vengeful, optimistic and unpredictable as the tragic events unfold.

Super fast paced show Needed this one also to complete my set. We love this series when you can "binge" watch it. Can't imagine what it was like to wait each week for the next episode. I loaned it out to friends and employees and they are stuck on it too.

I only watched a few episodes of the 24 series during the 5 seasons it was aired. My brother-in-law had season 5 and we watched it together over a weekend visit and I became addicted. I then ordered ALL seasons from 1 through 5 on ebay and have had no life since because my wife and I can't stop watching. This is an action filled, suspenseful drama that keeps you spellbound from start to finish. We have stayed up late at night when we should be sleeping, getting ready for work because we want to know what happens next. This is the way to watch TV series - We're glad we didn't watch the seasons because now we can view the entire show when we want with no commercials. The problem is that it is so good we don't want to stop until we've seen it all. We're not contemplating which other TV series to purchase.. Desperate Housewives, Sopranos, House, The Shield, many other great shows to choose from. We just have to be careful to control our new addiction. Highly recommended for people who may have the willpower to break away and only watch the series at their liesure. To recap, I bought it because I loved the series. It is somewhat violent and action filled and causes you to pay attention because you don't want to miss a thing. You will acquire favorite actors but don't get too fond of them because they don't seem to stick around too long. This is good and bad. You can never tell who the bad guys are. What I dislike about this is only one thing - It's too dang addicting and hard to stop watching once you start!! RascalDLCVollständige Rezension lesen
Season 5 is the best one of'em all! Kiefer Sutherland is absolutely amazing in all of them. Actually, all of the actors do a superb job. I have no idea how many times I've watched season 5. When it's been a while, and I'd kind of like to be around Jack, it's always the one I choose.

I needed a new set because my old one's were too scratched so some episodes won't play.

We haven’t seen the original series when it aired but not since. Makes us wonder how we ever waited a week to see the next episode it’s so good!

Most of you already know how much you like "24." I won't try to impose my opinion on you. But you might not know exactly what extras the set includes. Fox usually does a great job with its 24 season DVD sets, and this one is no exception: it is well-packed with extras that most fans will enjoy. Here's a list: * season 6 trailer * season 6 prequel (probably like the mini-episodes on the season 4 and season 5 DVD sets, which give us glimpses of Jack Bauer's life between the end of last season and the beginning of the next one) * short featurette on the supporting players of "24" * short featurette called "unsung heroes: 24 camera department" * music by Sean Callery * short featurette on President Logan's L.A. retreat * extra DVD-ROM features * "100th episode reel" (I'm not sure what this is) * an excerpt from the book "24: behind the scenes" * 23 extended or deleted scenes that you can watch with or without a commentary track Also, a lot of the episodes have an optional audio track with commentary from the actors or crew members. Here is a list of the commentaries: * Kiefer and Jon Cassar (director): 7-8am * Jon Cassar and Howard Gordon (writer): 7-8am * Jon Cassar and Howard Gordon: 10-11am * David Fury (producer) and John Allen Nelson (Walt Cummings): 12-1pm * Evan Katz (writer/producer) and Brad Turner (director): 2-3pm * Tim Iacofano (producer) and Julian Sands (Bierko): 3-4pm * Jean Smart (Mrs. Logan) and Gregory Itzin (President Logan): 4-5pm * Matt Michnovetz (crew), Duppy Demetrius (crew), and Nicole Ranadive (writer): 5-6pm * Jon Cassar and Joseph Hodges (production designer): 9-10pm * Howard Gordon and Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe): 12-1am * Manny Coto (writer) and Jude Ciccollela (Mike Novick): 3-4am * Bob Cochran and Greg Itzin: 6-7amVollständige Rezension lesen
