 Annoying to Access Episodes June 18, 2009
M. Morski (Henderson, NV United States)
In the first season, you were given an option of "View all". With this you could conveniently watch all the episodes on that DVD. The 2nd season (and the 3rd season) do not give you this option. After the first episode on a dvd, I tried everything to get back to the menu. Nothing worked. I ended up having to: 1. Stop the DVD. 2. Eject the DVD. 3. Reinsert the DVD. 4. Start the DVD and skip over the warnings, etc., to get to the menu. 5. Select the next episode from the menu. This is extremely irritating and time consuming. It would help if whoever makes these DVD's would make it more convenient for buyers of this series to access the episodes.
Received scratched DVDs. May 20, 2009
A Reviewer
I bought this DVD because it was on sale. No discs were dislodged or anything. But when I took out discs 1 and 5, they were scratched like crazy. They had problems playing on all my players. I would normally give this season a 5-star rating, but I'm giving the PRODUCT a 3-star rating. Fox should manufacture DVDs better than this. This is not the first time I've received a scratched DVD from Fox. They seem notorious for this. There's no excuse for BRAND NEW DVDs arriving scratched. Unless of course, the case was broken or something. But in this case, they were fine. All discs were perfectly fastened in the case.
 JACK'S BACK FOR MORE March 12, 2009
M. Cramer
This season is better than season. Jack's wife killed season one but in season 2 you see Jack coming out of his shell more.
Jack February 15, 2009
LuvBug (Colorado Springs)
Just when I didn't think it could get any better I am proven wrong. This season is actually better than the first and that is rare. Still action packed, still keeps you guesssing and wanting more. As hard as they fight to get rid of Jack, they need him. Jack is the man and is here to stay. Great series and again with great performances. But that Nina is so crooked. With all the bad she does it's scary that you still kind of want to keep her around! Love the series and will continue watching!
Thrives On The Intensity Of Jack Bauer January 28, 2009
Zachary Koenig (Fergus Falls, MN)
Usually, I judge the success of any televised drama by its ability to reinvent itself from season to season. Too much of the same will lead to stagnation, while too much change will actually alienate loyal viewers. 24, however, is a completely new breed of show and thus does not adhere to the typical critiques of TV drama.
Essentially, the second season of 24 follows the same parameters as the first. Over the course of a single day, CTU (Counter-Terrorism Unit) agent Jack Bauer must get himself (and the nation) out of a crisis...this time when a nuclear bomb is set to detonate in Los Angeles and could prompt World War 3 if the plot succeeds. Of course, besides Bauer, a host of other characters (Kim Bauer, Tony Almeida, George Mason, etc.) round out the cast. The twists and turns are just as mind-blowing as the first go-round, yet it never seems to get old due to the great acting and straight-forward plot devices (every episode ends with a new huge twist).
The biggest reason the Season Two succeeds, though, is that much more time is devoted to the character of Jack Bauer, who really is the fulcrum of the show. The episodes in which the raging, frenetic Jack takes center stage will have you on the edge of your seat and literally cheering out loud! Whereas in the first half of the first season Bauer was little more than a concerned parent, this entire season sees him wriggling his way out of tight spot after tight spot...MacGyver has nothing on Jack Bauer. I never thought I would find an actor who brings more intensity to his role than Matthew Fox gives to Jack Shepard on LOST, but Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer eclipses him.
So, if you were intrigued (or completely thrilled!) by the first season of 24, this second season will not let you down. Between the plot twists, the intensity of Bauer, and the surprising return or demise of a few old "friends", this season again will have you watching episode after episode deep into the night.
