    I have yet to see a show like this. Incredible in every aspect and exciting in every second. The season finale is one of the greatest episodes of all time.

    Early seasons set a high bar, and this one did not disappoint -- for about 20 episodes. After a compelling set-up (albeit with the usual amount of characters set on fire by Mexicans at 9 pm and leading an assault upon criminal mercenary strongholds in LA at 5 am), the plot begins to spring more leaks than a Burundian submarine.

    Even during these early seasons 24 was hardly know for it’s realism, and plot lines such as Jack Bauer gets over a heroin addiction in a couple of hours, or the convoluted sting operation conceived by Bauer and Tony Almeida are pretty ludicrous. Despite this, 24 was a brilliant watch thanks to it’s ever twisting storyline and edge of your seat action, and I remember burning through three or episodes a night back when I picked up the DVD box set.    … Expand

    The shows starts somewhat slower, but the second half and endgames are amazing. A lot of shocking moment happened in this season, a 24 specialty. Gets better and better

    The third season is better yet from season two, thankfully for the adition of an more interesting villain than the other two seasons, and the situations of this season are really better.

    Season 3 of 24 never falls short of the action and drama fans have come to expect. This time around, there are more twists, both shocking and heartbreaking, which elevates it from the previous two seasons.

    Nothing is as it seems in Day 3, which provides a torrent of wild twists and turns without ever sacrificing the high stakes action viewers have come to expect.

    I like the fact that bauer does crazy things like breaking a guy out of prison to find out where the chemical weapon is.

    The series that strains our nerves and our credulity returns with more hour-by-hour suspense, and amazingly it still works.

    In other words, same old '24,' for better in the initially intriguing plot and worse in the way much of the story seems to derive from other shows, including 'The West Wing' and the narcotics mini-series 'Kingpin.' [28 Oct 2003]
