24 - Season Two

Customer reviews:

This is the best season of 24, 2008-09-08
From the mind blowing opening, to the demise of Mason, the introduction of Dessler, the plot twists that keep twisting until the final moment, season two is the greatest of 24. The only weakness is the sub-plot about Kim's adventures as a nanny.

I discovered 24 through the DVD. While I was skeptical at first, after finishing just disc one I was hooked. The formula works. It's literally the ticking time bomb. But what really carries the show is the script and the superb acting.

No one really chews the scenery but rather underplays the tension. President Palmer is the lynch pin of the cast and the plot.

While at times Bauer's daughter Kim seems to go from the frying pan into the fire, it does make you want to scream at the screen and shout, "Don't go in there, Kim." But the other subplots are skillfully written and stitched together nicely.

The character of George Mason makes the biggest character arc and probably should have received at least an Emmy nod for his role.

I only wish more television was of this caliber.
