I decided to buy it because I had watched all the seasons before. I loved the seasons before and season 6 is action packed all the way. What I really hated about this season; however, is that it just seemed ridiculous to me that the super sleuths at CTU never seem to intercept any of the bad guys cell phone conversations inside CTU. With all the resources the government has, and all the technology CTU has, it really stretches to watch the double agents walk around inside CTU making cell calls completely undetected. The plots are interesting but again nuclear weapons are smuggled inside the U.S. but nobody's heard of radiation detection. It's a bit too hollywood for me. A friend told me that he found the program to get more and more unrealistic and that's pretty much how I found season 6. Don't get me wrong. I just bought Season 7 because I'm hooked on the series but I really hate programs where I see hollywood's make believe that's so obvious I just want to say, what a load of baloney. Come on - there's a great plot, lots of great acting, lots of action, why mess it up with obvious phoney baloney that only hollywood can achieve to diminish an otherwise great production. I know the producers and staff have gone to great lengths to accurately research the technical aspects of their plots and it just miffed the hell out me that nobody's ever heard to spectrum analzyers or in place monitoring of cell phones inside the super hero's super secret organization, CTU L.A. But then again, it's L.A. so I guess that works in L.A. Series 6 is still worth watching. It's great entertainment and Keifer Sutherland continues to save the world in his great style of acting. The behind the scenes bonus material is great stuff . All in all it's worth watching.Read full review
I bought and watched the first five seasons of 24, and even though the series contains a lot of violence and treachery, I was enthralled with the show. All of the actors do an incredible job in their roles. I just wish Chloe would lighten up and not frown so much. Season 6 is another matter. It is much too violent, there is too much torture and death, and every other person is a traitor, which makes the plot somewhat ridiculous. The fact that Jack Bauer killed Curtis is inexcusable. I was tempted to quit watching right then and there. Curtis was one of the best characters on the show and should not have been killed off. He could have quit and later on down the line realized the error of his ways and rejoined the CTU team. His death was a huge loss. (Maybe the writers could consider using the same plot they wrote for Jack; just pretend that Curtis is dead, for whatever reason, and bring him back. So what if it's a repetition of what happened to Jack? It's not like there aren't repetitions throughout the entire series. On the whole, though, I am still enthralled with the show. Kiefer Sutherland is an excellent actor and deserves all the awards that a person in his role on a TV series can garner. (I disagree with killing him off when the series comes to an end. Just let him reunite with Kim, get forgiveness from Curtis after he is brought back, fall in love with a lovely lady, and ride off into the sunset with his beloved. - THE END)Read full review
While not quite as good as previous seasons, it is always great to see Jack Bauer in action as this was really an exceptional TV series and not to be missed! The DVD was used but in pristine condition so it makes no difference from paying more for new

Super fast paced show Another one I needed to complete my set. We love this series when you can "binge" watch it. Can't imagine what it was like to wait each week for the next episode. I loan it out to friends and employees and they are stuck on it too.

I just finished watching season 1-5. This series is clearly addicting. Each session leaves you wanting to see what happens next. (Real cliffhangers) Having a whole season on 1 DVD allows you to see what happens next instead of having to wait a whole week. Disappointed that season 7 won't be ready until January of 09. Keifer Sutherland is an awesome actor and director - very talented. Be sure to watch special features to see how the story line develops. I especially liked Chloe in the series. She plays a very convincing role. The actor who plays the role of President Logan was also convincing. He portrayed a president who was so corrupt that you wanted to hate him - the opposite of the actor who portrayed President David Palmer. 24 is the best series in a long time.
