Summary: More exciting that Season 1 - but troubling for Neo-Femmes
Comment: Once again, Jack Bauer and the rest of the boys are back to protect U.S. from baddies. That means if you're a woman, no matter how proud and mentally sound, you better stand back and let the men do their jobs. As with Season 1, CTU is a boy's club. The females - whether employed by the U.S. government, or merely related to such employees - are relegated to the proverbial "damsels in distress" role that went out with the great feminist uprising of the 1970s. Kiefer and Co. need to wake up and smell the coffee. We women may not be as physically strong as our brawnier counterparts, but mentally we are at least as sharp (and often can focus better on difficult work). I fear the revealing of plot points, so I will not go into great detail. Suffice it to say that, while I was able to sort of forget the misogynistic undertones of Season 1, Season 2 establishes a pattern that continues unchecked throughout the series.
That said, Season 2 is a wilder, less predictable ride than Season 1. I enjoyed it considerably, and even found myself admiring the chutzpah of the men calling the shots - in spite of my concern about the portrayal of my own kind.
It's good, but disturbing.

Summary: Jack Bauer Your a Pirate!
Comment: This season of 24 is seriously one of the best seasons ever on tv. This season is full of suspense as any 24 fan would know. I won't give anything away but this season has a suprise around every corner and leaves you waiting to watch the next episode. Once we started watching this we were consumed each night for a week until we finished the episodes. Of course if you haven't been watching 24 it would be a good idea to watch season one first. You won't be disappointed with this DVD collection. Go ahead and buy all four seasons cause you won't stop watching until you know what happens with Jack.

Summary: 24 is a meltdown of amazement!
Comment: I love this series. If you're interested in clandestine excursions into the mind's eye of government inertia, then climb onboard the 24 Express. It's a non-stop fun-filled ride that just keeps on moving. Next stop? Just follow Jack and he'll let you know!

Summary: "MR. PRESIDENT, MY DAUGHTER'S CAUGHT IN A BEAR TRAP!!!"
Comment: Wow, an even better season than number one. It seems that all the pieces really started to fall into place with this season as it begins running on all cylinders. Jack is back, after his wife's death, and Keifer plays him with perfection. And of course, Nina eventually is back, played even better this season. And of course, Kim Bauer is annoying and whiny and won't listen to Jack at all (and then gets caught in a bear trap - it could happen?!). I like the addition of new characters in this - Kate Warner for one does a great job although she constantly has a goofy look on her face. All in all, this season is highly enjoyable and my wife watched it in only a few days! Not as good as the 4th season, but still awesome! Do yourself a favor, though, and watch the first season before you watch the second. I hate when somebody tries to watch it out of order and then complains about it!

Jack Bauer is having another one of his "very bad days" in the second season of the groundbreaking real-time thriller 24. Once again the hours are ticking by with more guaranteed cliffhangers than a convention of mountain climbers. Holed up in a Los Angeles condo and estranged from his daughter, Jack is no longer on the government payroll; unfortunately for him, this small fact doesn't seem to matter to President David Palmer and the NSA, who call him back in to the CTU and give him 24 hours to infiltrate a terrorist organization that is planning to detonate a dirty bomb in the city of angels. All Jack wants is to get his daughter out of the city, unfortunately Kim's new employer, the abusive father of the child she is nannying, has other ideas. 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
