Customer Reviews

I had been under a rock (okay, driving a big truck all over 48 states) since 2002, and had never seen a single episode of "24" until I retired recently. I did not miss TV during those years, but I heard a lot of commentary about "24", so I decided to check it out. What.a.ride! I watched the first season over a weekend, and it was amazingly fast paced, with multi-threaded plot lines. But, I suppose everyone else already knows that -- and if you don't know that, just watch the first episode. You can watch just one episode, just like you can eat one potato chip...
When I signed up for Amazon Prime, I expected to save a bundle on shipping, and I do since I get several orders from Amazon each month. Savings on shipping pales in comparison to savings on streaming video: two seasons of "24" would be "break even" for a Prime membership!
With a decade of TV and Movies to catch up on, I expect to be wearing out the video servers at Amazon, especially when my Kindle Fire gets here :)

I didn't really notice "24" until it's last season. I heard about it before, but never really bothered to try and watching it until it's last season and was surprised that it was actually a decent show.
I then noticed that seasons 1-7 were availible for Prime for free, which allowed me to watch every season on amazon, which took a few months watching a few episodes each week.
Kiefer Sutherland plays Jack Bauer, the main character, who seems to have everything go wrong at the wrong moments, somewhat reminds me of Bruce Willis in Die Hard. Many things in this series such as the circumstances and outcomes are not the most realistic scenarios. If you are looking for a realistic type show, this is not for you.
Each season has many twists in its story, while some more obvious than others. As of this review I have finished all seasons of "24", and have enjoyed watching Jack Bauer's experiences throughout the series.
While I am not a die hard 24 fan, I still enjoyed the series and will certainly watch the movie if/when it does get released. Would recommend watching to those who haven't already been immersed by this show!
