Amazon.co.uk Review: The adventures of Counter Terrorism Unit agent Jack Bauer have rarely been dull. Yet after four series of battling the bad guys in real time, some could rightfully wonder whether 24 had lots its edge, and its ability to surprise. The fifth season should put any such doubts to shame.
Set eighteen months after the dramatic finale to Season Four, things get off to a shocking and pulsating beginning. You won't find plot spoilers in this review, yet it's as if the writers realised they had some serious carpet-pulling to do to keep the show's audience intrigued once again. Set, as usual, over the course of one single day, there's then a slight lull in the first third, before things spring ferociously into life. Make no mistake: if you can overcome the usual need to suspend elements of your disbelief, this is the best series of 24 since the first, and as it winds near to its equally dramatic conclusions, it's simply hard to take your eyes off it.
Joining the usual cast too is a procession of familiar names. Peter Weller (Roboocop), Sean Astin (The Lord Of The Rings and C Thomas Howell (The Hitcher) are among those doing their curriculum vitae no harm, but the acting honours are taken by the wonderful combination of President Logan and his first lady, played by Gregory Itzin and Jean Smart.
With a denouement that sets up a sparkling sixth season, this fifth series of24 is a genuinely significant achievement. It's packed full of surprises, isn't afraid to take a few risks, and as all good thrillers should, it keeps you on the edge of your seat for far longer than is comfortable. A superb show, very much on top form.--Simon Brew

Why does everybody always keep asking "How many bad days can one guy have?" Actually, these are not bad days but insight in Jack Bauer's life as an agent. And I am truly hope that we will see many many more of these thrilling days. Otherwise James Bond must be long gone, because he had definitely more "bad" days so far.... think about that!
24 is by far the best TV show ever. I watched all series from 1 to 5 and am a huge fan. It is absolutely worth to buy them all.
Rating: - 24 Season 5 DVD
You can not miss this show. Not one second of it. It is the best show to hit TV in a long time, snd now fans and hopefully new fans can watch the best season of 24 yet again and again, as Jack Bauer comes back to save his mighty country from Russian Terrorists. Audrey, Jack, Curtis and Logan are fantastic.
Who would have guessed what the President of the USA could do?
Rating: - Great Bonus Features, Much Improved Over Season 4
You don't need another review to tell you what a great show "24" is, or that Season 5 is a wonderful return-to-form that recaptures the conspiracy thriller style and wisely avoids many of the mistakes made in the previous year. Even better, it seems Fox Home Entertainment has done the same and learnt from its mistakes made with the Region 2 release of Season 4 (which lacked a great many of the bonus features included on the later American release).

Rating: - Stunning series
Before this series of 24, I didn't believe that the programme makers could bring us another series on a par with Series 1, or even anywhere close to it. This series blew that theory out of the water.
Quite simply, it is unbelievable. The explosive opener is mentioned as one of the strong points of the series, but it is really eclipsed in my eyes by the fantastic level maintained throughout all 24 episodes.
The characters and character development is an essential aspect of the show's ... Read More
