Oh boy. Here we go again! Just another exciting day in the life of 24 super-agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland). The season kicks off with a deadly terrorist strike resulting in the kidnapping of his new boss, the U.S. Secretary of Defense James Heller (William Devane). Although a fired, ex-employee of the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU), it is no surprise who is going to shift into full gear to bring the terrorists to justice. However, it doesn't take the super-agent long to discover the kidnapping of his boss is part of a much larger plan, master-minded by Habib Marvan (Arnold Vosloh) the middle eastern terrorist cell leader the US government has been trying to track down for years. Considered by many to be the best season of the first four, 24 - Season 4 is a definite departure from the first three seasons. First, the cast is almost entirely new. Second, the pacing of each episode does not seem as frantic. There appears to be a shift from the reliance on plot-shifting cliff hangers (which in some ways dragged down the quality of Season 3), to a focus on complex, over-arcing, multiple storylines, albeit very violent. What may be missing in superficial action clichés is definitely compensated for in a richer plot. That's not to say the show has slowed down; it's still amped up beyond anything else on TV, but compared to the previous seasons, 24 has gotten a lot smarter, and in turn, better. --Rob Bracco

24 is a great show and this DVD is a good buy. the fourth season is just as good as the third. The extras are great.
 Good Season, But..... October 18, 2008
Ida Wheeler
Is it me or did anyone else ever wonder what the hell happened to Behroos? Yes, we can all assume he was killed, but we never really know what happened. And it was well assumed that Bauer knew there was a connection between Behroos and Marvan, but.... they never got to that point! No body found, nothing reported. That was a big mistake on this season and kind of left part of the story incomplete for me. However the suspense lasted from the beginning to the end. I wonder if this kid is going to show up in future shows or not.
I would like to go on, but there are more reviews that can explain everything else more. I don't want to blow it for anyone, so I won't say much.
Glad to see Almeida's sexy self return in this season. Besides Jack, Tony's the other reason I watch the show.
Is it me, or is this show starting to focus too much on CTU's personal relationships? I know everyone has their problems or unresolved solutions, but this season's love sections were a bit too much compared to the actual crimes that were being committed.
Might want to steer clear of that because it makes the writers look a bit desperate in trying to find out what the hell to come up with next.
 High adrenaline show! October 15, 2008
Adam Gagnon
24 has a concept that was hard to get used to at first. Every season takes place within 24 hours. 1 hour per episode done in (close to) real time.
Jack Bauer works for the counter terrorist unit and fights a new terrorist threat every season. He also has to deal with his personal life and the dysfunctional family his job helped to create.
While the show does stretch the boundaries of believability at times it is still a very well made show and keeps you on the edge of your seat. With each episode being so strict on a time constraint and every season running for only a day in the character's life there is no room for boring filler episodes that many series suffer from.

My wife and I saw all the episodes of season three and the DVD disks were perfect! When the Olympics are done, I plan to start watching season four. I used standard shipping and received the package overnight!
 SEASON 4: Contrived Crap for the Viewing Public: BORING AND STUPID. July 12, 2008

After Three Seasons of this FANTASY Series, I just couldn't finish watching Season 4. I was unable to suspend my disbelief any longer. Each Season is exactly the same: Super Man Jack Bauer...an indestructible SuperHero with unlimited Super Powers: never gets hurt, travels at the speed of light, can hit any target with a pistol, is the most intelligent person ever created... etc. Only Jack Bauer, singlehandedly, can save the World! These Villains are Evil Terrorist Moslems. However, even I got tired of watching the Moslems get killed. The EVIL VILLAINS HAVE SUPER POWERS THAT ALLOW THEM TO ESCAPE FROM THE INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT & CLODS AT CTU. THIS ALLOWS THE SERIES TO DRAG ON WITH MORE CRAPPY EPISODES. BESIDES JACK BAUER, THE AGENTS AT CTU HAVE ONE PRIMARY MISSION: IT IS TO MAKE FACES AT EACH OTHER. The actress who plays Agent Michelle Gessler has once again proved that she is the worse Actress that has ever appeared in the history of TV. She is the QUEEN OF WEIRD FACES! FOLKS, There is NO WAY TONY ALMEDA, would EVER BE ALLOWED to step ANYWHERE NEAR CTU...FOR ANY REASON after the conclusion of Season Three...MY GOD: Tony ends up running CTU as a DISGRACED CIVILIAN EX-CON FELON!!! KEIFER: AS PRODUCER...THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE & INCREDIBLY STUPID...HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN??? All I can think of was that they had an Actor's Contract for Four Seasons...and Keifer was forced to write the role of Tony Almeda back into this Season. For this Season, I recommend you WATCH 24 AS BACKGROUND NOISE. Let it play while you clean the house, take a shower, mow the lawn, eat dinner, wash the dishes...or take a nap. Besides the usual Bang Bang Shoot Em Ups...there is absolutely nothing good to say about Season 4. It is not entertaining. It drags out, is painfully boring and extremely stupid.
