, Bauer's estranged daughter (Elisha Cuthbert), and his beloved CTU colleague Audrey Raines (Kim Raver). Pivoting on a declaration of martial law and a mysterious cabal of unnamed conspirators, "Day 5" shocked even loyal 24 fans with a high body count including several important supporting characters. It all adds up to an exceptional season that earned Sutherland a well-deserved Emmy (for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series), equally deserving Emmy nominations for Itzin and Sharp, and an Emmy win for co-executive producer Jon Cassar's direction of the riveting season premiere. And while the breathtaking twists of 24 don't always hold up to intense scrutiny, these 24 episodes (running about 43 minutes each) are tightly written and flawlessly directed with an involving emphasis on thriller plotting and dramatic focus on the complex and operatically tragic relationship between President Logan and his traumatized wife. Add it all up, and you've got an addictive reason to look forward to season 6. --Jeff Shannon
On the DVDs
Discs 1-6 contain four episodes each, with several episodes including optional viewing of extended or alternate takes of selected scenes. A total of 12 full-length episode commentaries are provided by 24's primary cast and crew, allowing listeners a comprehensive appreciation of the series' extended "family" of talent, along with a wealth of production anecdotes, revealing observations about plotting and character, and a welcome overview of individual personalities and contributions. Disc 7 is packed with features, beginning with a season 6 prequel that offers a tantalizing glimpse of things to come, with an interrogation and escape scenario set seven months after the events of "Day 5"; by comparison, the season 6 trailer offers little more than a recap of season 5. The featurettes are all well-crafted and worth a look, beginning with a "Supporting Players" profile of 24's extended cast (including some surprising glimpses of their off-screen hobbies and activities); a detailed documentary about 24's innovative and hard-working camera crew; a profile of music composer Sean Callery, who demonstrates his versatile mood-setting techniques; a detailed exploration of the "Presidential Retreat" set with production designer Jonathan Hodges and colleagues; a "100th Episode Reel" with tightly-edited clips from seasons 1-5; and a sampling of cast and crew photos from 24: Behind the Scenes, a picture book published in November 2006. Kudos to Sparkhill Productions for continuing to provide 24 bonus features as well-made as the series itself. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of 24 - Season Five
Love this series! I order all of the season of 24 for my husband for Christmas. When we finally got to season 5 we were very disapointed as we had two disc 5 and no disc 6, so we had to hold tight till our replacement came. I was however very impressed with the quick response from Amazon to send us a new season 5 and a return label to send back our dysfunctional series. It was very quick and speedy service and we are back to watching our favorite series again! Great Customer Services!!
24- Season 5 DVD
Continues to be excellent TV series, although "torture" scenes are becoming gratuitous and not based on the "real world." If torture scenes are to continue on "24" for plot purposes, such scenes need to show how torture victims will say and/or do anything at some point to stop the torture and how such misinformation could be more detrimental than the current terrorist plot devices used on 24. Otherwise, I look forward to Season 6.
24 - Fifth Season Builds on Earlier Ones
The folks at Fox are definitely learning from past experience. This season is clearly one of the best, if not the best. It does not have distracting irrelevant sub-plots the way most earlier seasons did. As with the more recent seasons, the plot unfolds slowly, preventing viewers from knowing where the season is going. As usual with 24, some suspension of disbelief is needed to enjoy it.

>My only disappointment with this season was the fact that it ended with more of a cliffhanger that before. In the past, Jack, and viewers, could, more or less, expect to relax between seasons.
