Creator Robert Cochran and his team of writers and directors have done an impressive job of putting the jigsaw together and keeping the tension ratcheted up high, as federal agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) runs around L.A. trying to stall an assassination attempt on an African American presidential candidate and rescue his wife and daughter from the clutches of the Balkan baddies. Twists, turns, revelations, and cliffhangers are tossed at us with satisfying regularity. It's not perfect: we get some hokey plot devices (instant amnesia, anybody?); the final twist makes no sense whatsoever; there are altogether too many huggy family moments; and as for Dennis Hopper's "Serbian" accent....
Even so, this is undeniably mold-breaking TV. Sutherland, rescuing his career from the doldrums in one heroic leap, fully deserves his Golden Globe. Sets and locations are artfully deployed, and Sean Callery's score is a powerful, brooding presence. Like Murder One and The Sopranos, 24 is one of those series that future TV thrillers will be measured against. --Philip Kemp

Customer Reviews of 24 - Season One
As good as TV gets If Sitcoms and WB dramas make you want to throw up, watch this.
What is all the hype about?
I completely don't understand all the good reveiws on this series. The first season is all I have seen and all I will ever want to see. It should be called 24 murders because that's all it is, one murder after another.
<
>Even though there is plenty going on, it still seems boring and I find myself just wanting to fast forward to the end.
<
>I won't ruin the ending if you have been living in a closet and don't know how the first season ends-- I didn't know when I watched it-- but you will be extremely disappointed in how they "wrap up" the season finale.
<
>In my opinion it was a complete waste of $50!! I sure wish I had shopped around and bought it used.
Gripping!!!!!
We are infrequent television watchers and so had not seen 24 on a regular basis. We did catch a few of the season 5's last year and so decided to buy the DVD. We were surprised to find out that the program had been on for so many years and decided to start at the beginning with Season 1. Seeing these programs in rapid succession, w/o commercials is very exciting, especially when seeing them for the first time. We absolutly plan to buy the rest of the series.
