24 - Season 3 (DVD, 2009, 6 Disc Set)

Let me begin by saying that I watch VERY LITTLE TV. By chance the TV was on and I decided to watch a few minutes of 24 JUST to see what it was about. Fifteen minutes later I was hooked! There is NO series, NO show and NO movie like 24. My husband lives in front of the TV. He can't eat or function if the tube is not on. I tried to get him to watch the show but he had his favorites so he never watched it. He also plays computer or video games while "watching" TV. I decided I wanted to buy the boxed sets of all the seasons available. I finally convinced him to start watching season one. He was hooked before the first episode was over. When he is watching 24 there are NO games being played. All he does is WATCH! We now own all five seasons. The series is VERY intense and there is NO lag time. Each episode lasts for 60 minutes and the series for 24 hours. It is about terrorists and their plots against other countries, mainly the United States. Jack Bauer is the main character and he works with CTU (counter terrorist unit) for the government. The show is extremely realistic and candid. If you like suspense you will get your fill watching 24. Again, it is addictive and, without a doubt, the best show ever aired! You WON'T be disappointed! This is not just my opinion. I have talked to many people who have watched this series and others such as Dexter, House, Prison Break, Six Feet Under and so on. They liked these shows but all agreed that none held a candle to 24.
