Wow!! That is the first thing that comes
to my mind after watching the first season of 24. It pretty much grabs
you by the seat of your pants and takes you on a ride that seems to
keep going and going.
24 is the events that happen in the span of one day in Los Angeles on
the day of the California Presidential primary. When a plot is
discovered that puts the life of the leading candidate in jeopardy, it
is up to the government's Counter-Terrorist Unit, and specifically the
head of the unit Jack Bauer to uncover and stop any attempt on the
candidate's life.
When I first heard of 24, I thought it would just be a gimmick show
and not of much interest for me. Hell, even after I got the DVDs, it
took me about 3 months before I mustered up the interest to put them
in. But once I did, I didn't want to stop for any reason. I found
myself yelling at the TV at some points. Boy, I've really got to get a
life and not get into these things so much. I even considered calling
in sick to work so I could keep watching. (I hope none of my bosses
read this review!!)
The extras on 24 are weak. There is an alternate ending, with an
optional commentary. There is also an introduction to 24 by the
series' star, Keifer Sutherland, which is on the last disc. How lame.
While it's probably only exciting for a one-time viewing, 24 is still
a must-own DVD. It's probably even better on DVD than TV, because you
can watch as many episodes in a row as you want. I can barely wait for
season 2 to come out this fall.
