Fans of the original won't be disappointed, as there are more than enough shock moments in the first few hours to hint at the climactic build-up to come, while newcomers can quickly get involved in the lives of Jack and his family. There are some new characters to bolster the veteran cast and, interestingly (although not surprisingly), Jack's character has taken an altogether darker, more psychopathic turn. The danger the characters find themselves in also has a much more global, not to mention topical, impetus, grounded as it is in the war against terrorism. Although the territory is more familiar this time around, this second season is just as much a high-tension, taut, adrenalin-fuelled ride as the first, and one that will have you glued to your TV for the next 24 hours. --Kristen Bowditch

Content: I've only watched the first 3 seasons so far. They're all great... The problem with the DVDs are on the menu.

Almost every disc's and episode's menu, show an image of something important in one of the upcoming episodes. So, you, pretty much, know what's going to happen, and it can really ruin the show.

I've been putting my hand in front of my face to block the top half of the screen, while switching to the next episode. It actually works alright, but you have to remember, each time, to do it. Be careful...

They could've, at least, included a "Play All" feature for each disc.

Anyway, the only problem I had with Season 2 was with Kim Bauer (Jack's daughter). She gets herself into many ridiculous situations. It was a little far-fetched, as were a couple other moments... But I still love the show.
Summary: Great Show, Horrible DVD

Content: Glad to be able to watch something other than sports so selling the seasons of our favorite shows that are on too late at night is a great idea.
Summary: 24 Season 2

Content: From the mind blowing opening, to the demise of Mason, the introduction of Dessler, the plot twists that keep twisting until the final moment, season two is the greatest of 24. The only weakness is the sub-plot about Kim's adventures as a nanny.
Summary: This is the best season of 24
