Editorial Reviews
Oh boy. Here we go again! Just another exciting day in the life of 24 super-agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland). The season kicks off with a deadly terrorist strike resulting in the kidnapping of his new boss, the U.S. Secretary of Defense James Heller (William Devane). Although a fired, ex-employee of the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU), it is no surprise who is going to shift into full gear to bring the terrorists to justice. However, it doesn't take the super-agent long to discover the kidnapping of his boss is part of a much larger plan, master-minded by Habib Marvan (Arnold Voslo) the middle eastern terrorist cell leader the US government has been trying to track down for years. Considered by many to be the best season of the first four, 24 - Season 4 is a definite departure from the first three seasons. For one, the cast is almost entirely new. Second, the pacing of each episode does not seem as frantic. There appears to be a shift from the reliance on plot-shifting cliff hangers (which in some ways dragged down the quality of Season 3), to a focus on complex, over-arcing, multiple storylines, albeit very violent. What may be missing in superficial action clichés is definitely compensated in a richer plot. That's not to say the show has slowed down, it's still amped up beyond anything else on TV, but compared to the previous seasons, 24 has gotten a lot smarter, and in turn, better. by Rob Bracco

Summary: Incredibe Quality Control Season After Season
Comment: I'm always scared when a great show comes along like 24 that it will jump the shark or capsize into moronic and desperate measures. But the writing on the show continues to be hard-edged and consistent. I generally can't tolerate "action heroes" but Jack Bauer, played by Keifer Sutherland, is a convincing character study of a man who is always at odds with the bureacrats who run Intelligence. Outlandish situations compel Bauer to break the rules and he's always right. His rebel behavior points to a subtext in this very intelligent suspense series: The clash between self-interested soggy-brained bureacrats and the real or authentic independent thinkers who must defy those bureacrats in order to be effective. By focusing on this universal theme and applying it to the show's focus on our war against terrorists, 24 has created a hero we can all empathize with.
Summary: STILL GREAT ENTERTAINMENT
Comment: I watched season 1 - 3 in rapid succession, on DVD, as I never watched the show when it was broadcast on our TV. I absolutely loved the first 3 seasons, and decided to watch season 4 the same way, on disc, and not with a week's break on TV. Maybe season 4 would work better with that 7 day break, as I did notice some cracks in the plot this time. Characters seemed to disappear unnaturally (Andrew Paige, Forbes, James Heller) or without satifactory explanation (injured president Keeler). Some became annoyingly unnatural in their conduct (vice-president Logan's behaviour, Audrey Heller's sudden corcern about the torture of a terrorist) etc. It also looked like no one at CTU was tired after 24hours on the job. These things wont bother so much if you watch each episode with a break in between, but for a DVD-junkie like me this season presented some problems due to continuous viewing. But let's be honest here - this show, after 4 seasons, is still one heck of a thrillride! And when season 5 comes out on DVD, I will surely be one of the first to buy it!!
