The series 24 somehow passed me by, but I eventually borrowed the DVD box set… and promptly lost out on a whole bank holiday weekend (they tell me it was sunny) avidly watching the whole 24hours over three days.

A great great series – the plot twists & turns each hour but they ensure the end of each finishes with such a great cliff hanger that means you just keep watching. How the TV series viewers coped waiting a whole week I have no idea.

The main character, CTU agent Jack Bauer, is convincing and although the plot does push reality to the edge with threats to the Presidents life, it clings to the real world & leaves the viewer avid for more.

What can I say that others haven't?

The answer is not much, but I'm such a huge fan of the show that I had to stick my opinions in.

The first wave of enthusiasm for 24 passed me by as I am never one to jump on the band wagon. A simmering interest passed me by when the box sets started coming out. Then I was off work ill and a friend had the first three series on dvd, so he lent me the first one.

BLEW MY MIND!!!

I could not just watch one episode. It was always a case of,
"I'll just watch one more......"

Never happened!

You know the formula by now. Series takes place over one day, twenty four episodes, each episode (with ads) is an hour and was an experiment to see if real time could be done on the small screen. Thrills, spills, danger, excitement, cliffhangers and yet another surprise around every corner.

You have to love this kind of stuff though. My girlfriend has just sat through the first series after I purchased it here on Amazon and although she got into it and was interested to see what happened next, the shockers in the last two episodes went by without so much as a flicker.

Twenty four episodes of pretty much the same plot was daring and it pretty much works. There are weaker moments and to be honest, even as a huge fan there were times that I found myself saying,
"For god's sake!! Not again!!"
as the plot took yet another turn to fill the obvious void.

This has been ironed out in future series, as has my other mild complaint. It's not really a complaint as the story moves at such a pace that there is probably no call for it. There is no comic relief. No down time. Now, the story is good and the plot twists are fantastic and keep you guessing. There really is no time to joke around, but sometimes you do just need a light hearted moment to bring you down and get you ready to be thrilled again.

The cast is perfect. Keifer is perfect for Jack. Even his voice is perfect for the character who has a back story bigger than the complete works of Shakespeare. Elisha Cuthbert as Kim again is totally spot on. She's the eye candy the men love, she's sexy enough, strong, feisty and also gives Kim Bauer the edge on combining all of this with being dopey and helpless enough to get herself into yet another scrape. The rest of the cast compliment each other beautifully, so much so that it really works.

On the whole, this is the ideal programme to watch if you like action, plot twists, suspense, cliffhangers and general all round goodies, baddies, goodies who may be baddies and all that.

Totally recommended, 24 is addictive with that added twist of real time.

A winner!!

  Exciting, Easy To Follow, Simple, But Brilliant
Review created: 06/06/08

This show is genius. I have been watching it since it's first season in 2001. Ever since, I have been anticipating one season after another. Not every season has been completely up to scratch, but I think that the seasons preceeding them have earned our trust in the makers to bring it back to its best. For example, the latest season, season 6, was, in my opinion, not as good as the others. But as I said, the producers have earned my trust as a viewer, to believe in them to bring back the old 24.

The acting is fantastic, and incredibly real. The characters are very much personable, and I feel I can relate to most, if not all, of the story lines. Each season is explosive and full of suspense and action. I remain faithful to 24, to bring us our fix of action, violence and suspense, and I personally cannot wait for the 24 movie.

I would recommend this show to pretty much anyone. My sister watches it, my dad does, and most of my friends watch it. It's not your typical action thriller show, because it contains real life stories. For example, Kim Bauers story in season 1. Most people can relate to at least one of the characters in one way or another, and it is by no means difficult to understand. It is not pretentious either, which is what I would call many other action films or TV shows. It is for everybody. Obviously violence and a little bit of language may get in the way for some younger or easily offended viewers, but I have yet to meet someone who has not been hooked on this show from the very first episode they watch. A strong, and easy 10 out of 10.

Jack Bauer for president!!

  A truly Groundbreaking TV series
Review created: 19/04/08

This season of 24 was a first for television, a series totally filmed in real time using split screen over a 24 hour period. It was also the rebirth of Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer, the main character in the series. This DVD box set is absolutley brilliant and if you havent watched 24 before this is where to start your new undoubted obsession!

Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.

  The following takes place between....
Review created: 06/03/08

There are many reviews for this boxset so I shall keep mine brief and to the facts.

To me, 24 is like the American version of Spooks but so more farfetched. Don’t get me wrong, 24 is well written and contains excellent acting but the story lines are, to me, not that believable. It’s a unique concept for a show to portray that events occur in real time and the ‘following events take place between’ the given hour but for me; it made the plots too farfetched which could detract from the enjoyment. And to be honest, that blasted clock got on my nerves towards the end of the series since they are more noticeable on DVD since on TV they faded into commercials.

Otherwise 24 is nothing short of an excellent piece of Entertainment, which really, should be the only thing that matters.
So what does take place between the hours of 24 season 1. Well, over 500 deaths, a 747 plane bomb/ crash, an election, numerous kidnappings, rape, more murders, sex, stabbings, cover-ups, accidental murders, affairs, betrayal, guns guns guns, guns for hire, infiltration, assignation attempts, torture, car chases, car accidents, a little more sex, pregnancy, secrets, confessions, and lies to name but a few. No one sleeps though for 24 hours but looks amazing – must be that LA sunshine.

There are no 'special features' like makings of, or behind the scenes footage on this boxset, apart from an alternative ending. Get 24, because it's 24! And you will certinaly enjoy it if like me you never watched it when it was on TV. Don't get 24 if you are expecting a believable take on a possible US government depatment.

  How to get an iPhone, Wii, 360 or PS3 for nothing!
Review created: 14/02/08

The Free iPhone Guide


To get yourself a free iPhone all you have to do is follow the 3 easy steps:

Step 1 : Sign up for a free iPhone
Sign up at the link below to get your free iPhone. We recommend this free iPhone site because it's been TRIED and TESTED to work.

http://gifts.kudosnetwork.co.uk/?ref=172 (copy and paste into browser)

You can choose other prizes like free consoles from this site too! Make sure you use a real email address. Use your real details when you sign up so that the company knows where to send your iPhone! Remember that they have been proven legitimate, so will send you your free iPhone if you do everything legitimately!

Step 2 : Try an advertiser's offer
Basically all you need to do in this step is complete one of the offers, this is where the freebie site make their money, if you complete an offer then the freebie site will recieve commission for it. So if you complete Coral which will only cost you £5 to complete, the freebie site gets £25 from Coral. The two best offers are Lovefilm Free DVD rental (rent two DVD's, keep them for about 2 days, send them back and then cancel the trial) and Coral (bet £5 on a sport). I would reccommend you do Coral as it credits in an hour and is really simple to do, Lovefilm however can become complicated and takes up to 2 weeks to credit! You can also try one of the other offers, most are gambling offers. Don't skip this step! You must complete this step to get your free iPhone!

Step 3 : Refer some friends
This part is a lot easier than it seems, especially now with free iPhone sites getting so popular. There's lots of people online who want a free iPhone too, so start referring them! You only need to get a few signups before you'll be finished. You can ask your friends or your online buddies. I already got a free PS3, Wii, and XBOX Elite without even having to ask my friends for help - there's lots of people online who want a free iPhone like you! One of the easiest ways to get a referral is to do a favour for a friend and ask them to sign up in return. That way, you both can get a free iPhone!

Basic rules
Don't break these rules! This is the only reason that you won't get your free iPhone, so make sure you follow these rules!

- One account per household - don't use a public computer to sign up!
- Use real information - this is a proven legitimate site and they will not give out your information.
- Only complete each offer once! You cannot complete the same offer again, even for different freebies.
- Don't try to cheat the system. This site has been proven legitimate, and they will catch you if you try to cheat. If you do everything legitimately, by following this guide, you will get a free iPhone!

Thats all, just follow my guide and you will have your free iPhone in no time.

Thank you.

Before I bought 24 Series 1, I had no idea what this was about - other than I had heard other people rave about it. I have just watched it and really enjoyed it. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and you can empathise with the characters. I am now going to buy the other series!! Hopefully they will be as good.
