| 24 is quite simply the greatest show ever conceived and after the wonderful 1st series there was a lot of hype over the 2nd, and many believed it could not live up to its own reputation. But they were wrong. Season two is just as original, griping and full of unexpected twists as the first.
The show is beautifully acted by the entire cast especially Kiefer Sutherland and Dennis Haysbert, who play their parts extremely convincingly and lead the viewer to believe that they are caught in the complicated web of their existence for [close to] 24 hours of your life.
As well as being acted perfectly, the show is directed in such a way that all of the intricate story lines occurring during the “day” fit together so cleanly that you cannot help but be engrossed in the epic tale that is 24...
“And today, is the longest day of my life…”

| As season 1 came to a close we were left on the edge of our seats as Jack was faced with 2 life changing events. This season opens 18 months after the events of Day 1, times have changed for both Jack and the people based in and around his life. I won't let too much slip about the story but fans will be glad to hear that along side Jack CTU regular Tony Almeda, the now President David Palmer and Jack’s daughter Kim all make a welcome return.
The storyline is this time based around a nuclear device planted within L.A. The story once again includes extravagant explosions and well timed twists which together will keep you on the edge of your sofa for literally hours at a time. With the clock always ticking you are left wondering what Jack can do next.
It won't take long for you to remember why you were hooked to season 1, and as the action unfolds and the plots thicken you remember all the reasons you decided to buy Season 2! I can't give too much away but all I will say is be prepared for more of the classic 24 moments and once you've watched all 24 episodes, and the fabulously produced DVD extras get price comparing for season 3, you will not be disappointed.

| The series was an excellent follow up to the first to which it had a lot to live up to.I found myself watching episode after episode as I could not wait so for me it was more like a very long film than a series. Jack was once again in epic form which left me asking why has Kiefer been at in the wilderness for so long. If you liked the first series you'll love this and if you have not seen the first, WHY!!!. Great entertainment. |
