| 24 SERIES FOUR DVD REVIEW
Hard to believe, but after all these years, 24 is as vital and compulsive as it always was. Fortunately, Jack’s knack of attracting trouble hasn’t deserted him, and quickly it’s business as usual. Starting the series with a fresh romance, a different job and one heck of an explosion, it doesn’t take long before Jack is back in action, and he’s soon joined by a mixture of new and familiar faces. |
Pros
- New line up of characters matches the all new CTU design.
- Jack's back and getting pulled into the action after throwing in the towel.
- The tear-enducing season finale.
- The best bad guy: Marwan escapes from CTU over four times!
Cons
- Overuse of torture.

DVD REVIEW:
|
To talk about the plot would be unfair, as 24 is consistently a dish best served cold. Suffice to say that there’s a heady mix of plotlines, twists and downright brilliant cliffhangers. Perhaps the cocktail isn’t as fresh as it once was, and there are moments where you can’t 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. The writers have gone all out to add layer upon layer of explosive incidents and indeed they must be applauded for still producing such brilliant twists after four seasons. True, it may seem a little far fetched to have all these terrorists activities occuring in 24 hours but put your cynical nature aside and enjoy 24 gripping hours of TV drama. |
