24 - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD) > Reviews

Advantages: its a brilliant season that continues to impress
Disadvantages: episondes are not 1 hour they are 45 min

...reminded me how intence the 24 seasons are, this is suck a good season because of its suspence and the way it leaves the veiwer on a cliff hanger at the end of each episode, tehre isabout a 1000 min of material here and it is really worth the money if you like me it will last exactly 18 hours non stop ( its addictive) but this can entertain you and the family well for a few weeks and dont worry there are 5 more seasons and they just get better which ...

Advantages: Great Captivating TV
Disadvantages: Took over my life for 24 hours

...and literally became obsessed with 24. The storyline is fast paced, with admittedly a hell of a lot happening in 24 hours but i literally loved this boxset. It got to the point where i was watching 6 episodes in a row in a race to get to the end and find out what happens. Purely addictive. I'm normally a lot more into girlier tv shows such as The OC, so i was amazed that i found this series so good, but it was hard not to when it had such an action ... Read review

Advantages: It has the potential to take over your life (temporarily...)
Disadvantages: It has the potential to take over your life (temporarily...)

...television all my life, but 24 was the first show that gripped me to the point where eating and sleeping became afterthoughts! Whilst watching this show unfold week by week as it's aired on TV might give it time to percolate inside your head like a fine cup of coffee, in my opinion there is simply no substitute for the total 24 immersion experience! That means turning off your phone, drawing the curtains, and letting Jack Bauer take you on a magical ... Read review

Advantages: brilliant
Disadvantages: you wont want to stop watching

this has to be the most unique series ever. the first time something has been made in real time (well nearly but for the breaks, forgivable). the moment i watched i was hooked i watched the first series in 3 days i could have watched it in 1 go but for having to sleep. kiefer sutherland has surely typcast himself but this is the best role he has ever played and in my opinion should be the last there is no point in trying anythin else as he has achieved ...

Advantages: Astonishing TV, so many twists and turns
Disadvantages: Noooooone!

...The premise sounded interesting enough- 24 episodes in a "real time" format, with each hour shown on TV corresponding to an actual hour in the story- so I decided to check it out. I rarely watch TV because I find the majority of the shows to be dull, boring, and clichéd, so I tuned into the pilot episode of 24 expecting to be disappointed as usual. I couldn't have been more wrong. In fact, I've never once missed an episode. Simply put, the first season ... Read review
