From Amazon.co.uk

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, Jack’s knack of attracting trouble hasn’t deserted him either, 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.

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.

That’s 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 you’ll 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

5.0 out of 5 stars More amazing action with Jack Bauer... 26 Mar 2006
By Miss VINE™ VOICE
Amazon Verified Purchase
24 must be one of the best TV shows around. Incredibly exciting, with complex plots, great special effects, and top-notch acting, this is literally edge-of-your-seat television.

Season 4 was not my favourite season, but it was still fantastic. Unlike seasons 2 & 3, it gets going straight away, with a massive train explosion in the first minutes, and you immediately become gripped by the action. The pace is maintained for the first 12 or so episodes, but halfway through it does slow down and begins to drag slightly in comparison. However, even 24 at its slowest is still faster-paced than most shows, and the action soon picks up again with some cracking final episodes that had me actually biting my nails.

As usual the regular actors all do a great job - Jack is intense and sexy, Tony does a brilliant job of portraying a hurt and confused man on the edge of giving up, and Chloe is consistently hilarious in her own off-beat way. The new characters are a bit more hit and miss - Erin Driscoll and Edgar Stiles are both brilliantly portrayed, but Marianne is very cliched, Curtis is boring without any personality, and Audrey is a little annoying - she appears shocked every time Jack has to hit someone.

Overall though it's amazing television, and the sort of programme that once you've bought the boxset, you'll end up watching about 6 episodes in a row because it's so exciting.

The boxset itself is attractively presented - a plastic book-style design with a glossy cover and a cardboard slipcase. I also have to say a word about the special features - WOW!...

-Breaking Ground: Building the New CTU (approx 18 minute documentary on building the CTU set and shooting there)
-Blood on the Tracks (approx 15 min documentary on shooting the train explosion, including interviews with the directors and special effects guys)
-Lock and Load (short documentary on the weapons used)
-Nissan Short Film (a beautiful 20 minute promotional film - not much relevance to 24 though!)
-24 The Game (Kiefer Sutherland introduces a behind the scenes look at the PS2 game)
-The Longest Day music video (video for the trance version of the 24 theme)
AND A MASSIVE 40 deleted scenes, which can be watched with or without commentary from director Jon Cassall. Many of them are several minutes long and include entirely new characters or subplots. They also clear up lots of loose ends, such as what happened to Behrooz.

A word of warning though - try not to look at the pictures on the DVD menus, as they often show scenes from the ends of episodes, and can give some of the plot away. Other than that, buy it and enjoy! Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Jack's Back 3 Aug 2005
I've watched 24 from the start and I have to say in terms of action and drama this season may well be the best. The previous season was a little dissapointing due to a lack of decent storylines for both Palmer and Kim but this more than makes up for it. The writers have went 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. Roll on season 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Four in - and still the best 13 May 2005
By John
Comparisons with other programmes and other series seem pointless somehow....
Jacks backs again ,the plots as daft as ever - but its still the most fun thing on the TV by absolute miles. Who cares that people can take part in gunfights less than an hour after being pronounced dead (series 2), mastermind the saving of Los Angeles from a killer virus after undergoing major surgery for gun shot wounds in the neck (series 3) or totally lose and regain their memory within the space of three hours (series 1).

The slight change to this series is the lack of "parallel plots" (e.g. Jack/ David/ Kim happening at the same time as in the other series) - but the sheer pace of whats happening means its not really noticable.
Roll on Series 5!

4.0 out of 5 stars Impressive 24 12 Jun 2007
I thought the script was excellent. There were lots of twist and turns within the plots; It kept me on the edge of my seat. It was good to see David Palmer back in the office again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Non-stop entertainment - best 24 series so far 19 Aug 2005
By Y. Karl
Just one somewhat slow segment in this fourth series - a huge improvement over previous series. The show is not realistic, nor deep, but excellent action entertainment. After series 2 and 3 I was almost ready to give up on 24, but this series makes me look forward to season 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost too political, but brillant nonetheless 8 Sep 2005
I am a huge fan of the 24 franchise and have watched every series religiously from the beginning. Due to the mis-timing of Sky installation didn't see the 4th series whilst it was on TV, and instead watched it on DVD, and I can't say I was disappointed.

Anyone familiar with the 24 franchise will know what a blistering pace it goes at, usually the main story will be interspersed with 2 or 3 sub stories, and there will be no small amount of twists throughout. In this respect, the 4th series really doesn't fail to deliver, if anything it really ups the ante. The action hits harder and earlier than it ever has done before and Jack is in the middle of all of it.

The series starts off with Jack moved to a more sedate world, providing personal protection to Secretary of Defence Heller. This is all well and good until the events occur in California that draw Jack back to CTU. What is clear is that Jack is incredible comfortable in this role, what isn't clear is whether his seeming reluctance return to CTU is really a front as he feels this is where he belongs all along.

The ease with which Jack slips back into CTU is of concern to two people, firstly Jack's new love interest, Audrey Raines. Daughter of the Secretary of State and also a Department of Defence employee she is keen to keep her relationship quite, not least until the ink is dry on her divorce to Paul Raines. The second uncomfortable party is Erin Driscoll, the new head of CTU and the women responsible for removing Jack from active service after his brush with heroin in the previous series. She is excellently portrayed through out this series, if a little heavy handily so....

A lot of the major characters from the previous series are present, and it does take a genius to look at the covers of the discs in the box set to see that characters from the past are going to reappear! This is generally welcome though, and again looks to explore a more human side of them.

The series revolves around a seemingly unrelated range of incidents that are brutal in their nature, but not in themselves a threat to the nation's security. As the hours count down though, it becomes clear that the incidents are exactly that and CTU again prepares to work miracles to prevent outrage. It is not clear at the beginning what the aims of the particular terrorists are at first or in fact who they are. We meet the Ariz family who have been operating as a sleeper cell in the US for 5 years - a terrifying proposition to consider.

What this series does incredible well, better than any of the other series, is to create a series of sub-plots that really keep the watcher enthralled, but that all clearly relate to the end goal. Some of the early series did have the sub-plots but they could seem a little superfluous to the final aim of the story. The was story almost knocked down a star for me for the over the top political snipping that seemed to infect the film at about the three quarters mark. The direction of this political snipping was at Left Wing politicians, Amnesty International, and anyone who wasn't pro-torture when the chips are down. This is something that really grates on me but luckily only existed for a couple of episodes.

This is definitely my favourite 24 and will keep you clued to the TV for many an hour, when you are done there are some interesting extras to watch, but to be honest you'll be wracking your brains to see where the series goes from here to really care about them. Read more ›
