24 - Series 3 - Complete (DVD 2004)

Season three again focuses on Jack Bauer, a government agent working for CTU (counter terrorist unit), this time attempting to prevent a deadly biological attack on the USA. An array of villans take Jack to Mexico and back, as well as leading him all over LA is an attempt to save innocent lives.
The story arcs are intricate and keep you guessing at every plot twist, and even when events reach improbable proportions it is difficult to not believe every second. I warn anyone who has not seen this yet, it is emotionally draining. There are so many cliffhangers and high-adrenaline moments, mixed with emotional scenes of loss and betrayal that makes it ESSENTIAL viewing for everyone.
I intended to watch an episode a day but after only a few episodes I realised that this would not be possible. One episode turned into two or three and I had to keep watching more and more. I finished watching this season in an 11 hour session as there was absolutely no way I could do anything else until I knew how it all was going to end.
WARNING: 24 is bad for relationships as you will not be able to leave the TV until it is over

This is a superb television program, well worth picking up.

yes people say the acting , story lines etc are shaky, BUT it does get truely exciting at times, and you just need to see more, and that is where the boxset comes in handy because you don't have to wait a week to see the next one.

If you think about it logically it is just like a 20 hour film, it also has a lot of replay value because it is so long you forget after a while everything that happened in it!

Finally the best thing about this series is that it is one of the few tv programmes where bad things happen (and the hero doesn't always win!)

AMAZING STUFF (ALTHOUGH IN MY OPINION NOT AS GOOD AS SEASON 1 & 2)

24 is quite simply the smartest, well written, directed & acted television show since Twin Peaks. Credit to the writers, it must be a tough job to create 24 earth-shattering twists and mostly all of them are perfect. Kiefer Sutherland is a criminally underrated actor and 24 shows off his skills, particularly in this season. If you think all Sutherland brings to his character is an American right-wing macho-ism, then watch the last few minutes of this season's concluding episode. You will see then that Sutherland has the talent to carry off the show in the future.

5/5

I don't usually write reviews infact this is my first, quite frankly I find all seasons of 24 hard to get into at the start, but with perseverance they and the characters within grow on you and it really turns into something special. The first two seasons were superb in my opinion, the first being the better of the two, however, the third season is simply explosive for want of a better word!

This is a must see for fans and anyone else who is intrigued. Gripping and addictive from start to finish, Get it...You'll love it!
