Product Description
Twenty-four hours of a counter-terrorist agent's attempt to prevent a terrorist's nuclear device from exploding in Los Angeles. Genre: Television Rating: NR Release Date: 9-SEP-2003 Media Type: DVD
Amazon.com
Jack Bauer is having another one of his "very bad days" in the second season of the groundbreaking real-time thriller 24. Once again the hours are ticking by with more guaranteed cliffhangers than a convention of mountain climbers. Holed up in a Los Angeles condo and estranged from his daughter, Jack is no longer on the government payroll; unfortunately for him, this small fact doesn't seem to matter to President David Palmer and the NSA, who call him back in to the CTU and give him 24 hours to infiltrate a terrorist organization that is planning to detonate a dirty bomb in the city of angels. All Jack wants is to get his daughter out of the city, unfortunately Kim's new employer, the abusive father of the child she is nannying, has other ideas. Fans of the original won't be disappointed, as there are more than enough shock moments in the first few hours to hint at the climactic build-up to come, while newcomers can quickly get involved in the lives of Jack and his family. There are some new characters to bolster the veteran cast and, interestingly (although not surprisingly), Jack's character has taken an altogether darker, more psychopathic turn. The danger the characters find themselves in also has a much more global, not to mention topical, impetus, grounded as it is in the war against terrorism. Although the territory is more familiar this time around, this second season is just as much a high-tension, taut, adrenalin-fuelled ride as the first, and one that will have you glued to your TV for the next 24 hours. --Kristen Bowditch

Customer Reviews for
24 - Season Two
This is the best season of 24
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.24 - Season Two
Best Drama on the Tube
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.

24 Tips: The Best Way to watch this Fantasy Series.
This Series is pure FANTASY. In order to watch it, you have to actively suspend your disbelief. If you can't, you will not be able to watch it. Now, Keifer Sutherland is a superb actor. He plays 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! All the Villains are intensely Evil. If you like watching Bad Guys..specifically, Terrorist Moslems getting killed you will love this Series.. and that is a big plus. The Villains also has Superhero Powers and intelligence..however I guarantee you will get sick of Nena Myers popping up again and again and pray that she gets killed... The actress who plays Agent Michelle Gessler is the worse Actress that has ever appeared in the history of TV. She makes all these weird faces in an attempt to portay seriousness... it just makes her look mentally deranged. The actor who plays Tony Almeda is almost as Bad. They both reappear in Season 4, at about the same time...I am sure you will be disgusted with these two. After watching Four Seasons, I recommend you watch each Season as fast as you can. Otherwise, any person with average intelligence will lose interest...if you have time to think about the Plot you wil realize that "24" is really just a TV Comic Book: Superhero against SuperVillain... it is Fantasy with a big dose of Violence...and that's what the viewing public seems to want.24 - Season Two

I haven't seen all of it yet but so far so good.
The beginning of the season is good and suggests things are going to get increasingly interesting.
Thanks Amazon!24 - Season Two
Explosive!!!
The fun continues with season Two of "24." Full of unexpected surprises that keep your attention. Much easier to view than when interrupted by commercials. Jack Bauer's character and the whole CTU group make for riveting watching as they carry forward the "24" brand of TV action. You'll be blown away.24 - Season Two
