24 - Season 5 (DVD, 2009, 7-Disc Set)

If you like to live on the edge, or feel as though you do, watch 24! This series will have you white-knuckled and on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next!
The concept behind 24 is different from anything else on television, it is played out in real time. Each minute you are watching represents one minute in the show, no elapsed hours or days. The writers and producers have found a way to turn each moment into a epic climax that will leave you breathless! Each show represents one hour in the life of CTU (Counter Terrorism Unit) agent Jack Bauer, and each season is comprised of 24 episodes representing one day in Jack's life, hence the title, 24.
Season Five does what viewers and fans of the series thought impossible; it keeps getting better! In today's hostile terroristic climate, Jack is exactly the kind of hero we need to believe in. If you are new to 24, you must get all five seasons on DVD and watch them in order to fully appreciate the character development and intricate plots as they unfold. Waiting from one week to the next to see what happens is ludicrous! Watch it on DVD and the thrills and action are literally non-stop.
Recommended for all genders. This is not your typical 'guy movie' with nothing but street crashes and things being blown up all over the place (although there is plenty of that!), 24 is takes the time to carefully develop characters, relationships, conflicts, even aspirations all the while battling the 'bad guys'. The totally unpredictable and always exciting nature of 24 set in a totally believable and current background of worldwide terrorist behavior makes it what I belileve to be this century's finest entertainment, as well as our finest hero epic!
