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 Season Four
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.
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.

Excellent
The dvd set arrived 2 days after I had purchased it. I was very impressed at how quickly I received it. It arrived in excellent condition. I will buy from them again. Thanks.
