Product Description The complete fourth season of the real-time drama series. 18 months after Day 3, CTU has a new leader, Erin Driscoll (Alberta Watson), a steely government agent who made firing Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), one of her first priorities on taking up command. After the explosion of a commuter train, Jack, who is now working for Secretary of Defence James Heller (William Devane), and who is also romantically involved with Heller's married daughter, Audrey Raines (Kim Raver), suddenly finds himself heading back to CTU for a meeting with Driscoll. Jack believes that the train explosion is a prelude to bigger things to come, and when it seems as if Islamic terrorists are launching an all out assault on the USA, Jack is called back to lead CTU's response. .co.uk Review Hard to believe, but after all these years, 24 is as vital and compulsive as it always was. For this fourth series, the rules are still the same: all the action takes place in real time, and the series again follows a single day in the life of Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland). Fortunately, Jacks knack of attracting trouble hasnt deserted him either, and quickly, its business as usual. Starting the series with a fresh romance, a different job and one heck of an explosion, it doesnt take long before Jack is back in action, and hes soon joined by a mixture of new and familiar faces. To talk about the plot would be unfair, as 24 is consistently a dish best served cold. Suffice to say that theres a heady mix of plotlines, twists and downright brilliant cliffhangers. Perhaps the cocktail isnt as fresh as it once was, and there are moments where you cant help but feel that plausibility is being stretched a little too far. But accepting that is part and parcel of the 24 experience, and arguably part of the fun. Thats because even as it approaches its final stages, 24: Series 4 maintains a tremendous momentum and level of intrigue, and by the time the clock ticks for the last time at the end of the 24th episode, odds are youll be thirsting for more. Bluntly, in spite of its flaws, 24 remains one of the most essential shows currently on television--and this series offers ample evidence why.--Simon Brew

Fabuloso fun and beautiful Bauer
Watched this when it first aired but never saw the last two series. Decided to catch up from the very start as Prime were showing it. Unfortunately they took it off the 'free list' mid season despite my howls of protest! So bought the box set instead as I resented paying per episode, seems I could buy it bit by bit but not view it as part of Prime. The 24 Series is sensational, even after all these years it is crisp, clean and full of action. My only gripe is the way the incumbents keep getting fired, tortured, harrassed and then reinstated all within the course of a couple of hours! but then it is escapism. Adore Kiefer Sutherland I could listen to that voice for hours. If I could have his dulcet tones on Sat Nav I wouldn't care where I was going as long as he was giving me directions.

The Best TV Viewing in Years...
What can one say? The series 24 is simply the most compelling TV in years. The series takes place in one 24hour period. The amount of investigation, hunting, searching and action spread out through the period is absolutely amazing. The writers themselves deserve numerous awards for their ingenuity and commitment in making the program so exciting and compelling.The program deals with attacks of all types on the USA, from virus, to gas, to nuclear bombs, abduction and murder. Jack Baur (Keifer Sutherland) is CTU's top investigator and does what it takes to hunt down and destroy whatever is threatening the integrity of the United States. Jack's life is commited to defending the States no matter what it takes. Over the years he has lost his wife, (murdered by CTU mole), he has lost contact with his daughter because of things she has suffered, directly relating to her fathers work. He has lost the woman he loves and more, he has lost his life. Jack goes on the run to hide from the American Government, the Chinese Government and comes back to CTU when called to help solve the threat.It is a must watch series to feel the full impact that this series put out to the viewer. Once you start you can't stop.Award Winning in many catagories.

Love the series
It is a mostly non-stop action pack series. Plenty of seasons to keep you busy.

Worst season so far
I didn't find this season as compelling as others, BUT there were some standout episodes.I felt that the new characters weren't as deep as some of the old ones, and that the old characters - especially Michelle - became shadows of their former selves. That being said, my love for the character of Chloe has gone up a lot!The storyline seemed a bit bland at times, and I think a couple of episodes should actually have had some scenes cut from them or entirely rewritten. Now, the concepts themselves are amazing, but this time around it just seems a little too much and as a result some things are not working as well as they should have done.HOWEVER, a great closing episode, which unlike other seasons (unless you count the very unobvious season 2 finale) gives you a brief hint of what is to come in Season 5, which from what I hear is the viewers favourite season ever, and I for one, cannot wait to get Season 5 underway!

24 = Great. Amazon Prime not so good!
The series is great - as are all the series of 24 but I was very, very disappointed that it (along with others series of 24) had been removed from Prime when I was halfway through watching this series and I had to purchase it in order to complete viewing. I was looking forward to working through all the box sets again but will wait and see if they return to Prime in the future

Box was in very good condition with all written material included
Received this boxset on time. I was impressed with the quality of the boxset. Box was in very good condition with all written material included. Checked all dvds and they were in very good condition. No marks or scratches on case. Have only played two of the dvds but have had no problems with them. Exceeded my expections.
