24 (series review needed) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

oldtimer · 08-10-2003, 10:59 AM

I have just been recommended to watch the 24 series from Fox. Now I've seen promos but the <i>minute thing</i> I believe will annoy me. Anybody finish the series and believe it's a good and worthy watch?

^dude · 08-10-2003, 11:45 AM

Definitly, i didn't catch series 1, but heard how good it was, so i watched series 2, and i got addicted to it. I'd recommend you get the dvd's of 1 and 2, then watch the upcoming series 3, you won't be disapointed!

Mr. Spacemonkey · 08-10-2003, 11:58 AM

I watched both of the series and they were definitely worth the 48 hours of my life. I would definitely recommend it and i too guarantee you'd like it.

It is a pretty intense show and so much happens in the short amount of time of a day. Keifer Sutherland is a pretty good actor and Elisha Cuthbert is a total hottie.

I have watched both seasons as well and definitely recommend that you watch it. I will also recommend watching the dvd because it's easy to miss things that happen during each hour.
The added benefit of watching the dvd is that not only o you see things that happen "during the commercial breaks", but you don't have to wait the week (or longer) to find out what happens from hour to hour.

I'd definately recommend the show. If you're watching on DVD, the episodes just fly by, it is too easy to kill an entire evening watching that show.

Of course, Elisha Cuthbert being a total hottie is a nice bonus.

Here's another hell yes vote. The dvds may be a bit pricey, but it is well worth it.

Quorlan · 08-11-2003, 07:19 AM

I've only seen season 1 on DVD but it was outstanding. I can't wait for season 2 to be released (sometime next month). Highly recommended.

the_marq · 08-11-2003, 12:38 PM

Season 2 was better than Season 1, mostly because I hated Keifer's wife. Still a good watch tho. Elisha Cuthbert is hotm but her character is dumber than 2 sacks of rocks.

Is there a lot of extra shit on the DVDs?

^dude · 08-11-2003, 12:57 PM

Off Topic but when does Series 3 start in the US?

leon2345 · 08-11-2003, 06:48 PM

In response to the_marq:
The Season 1 DVD set had a couple of alternate endings and a short introduction to the series by Kiefer Sutherland. Pretty bare. However, the 2nd season set has episode commentary on a couple episodes, deleted scenes, and featurettes.

And answering ^dude's question:
The 3rd season is supposed to start October 28th in the US.

Cynthetiq · 08-11-2003, 08:44 PM

good series... i recommend it heavily...

Lord Humungus · 08-12-2003, 03:38 PM

excellent series and spectacular TV. HIGHLY recommend it.

Renegade · 08-21-2003, 07:29 PM

I've seen both seasons and I mirror the sentiments of the other members. Great show very suspenseful! Keifer makes the show! Looking forward to season 3. DVD set was around $50 but if you figure its $20 for a two hour movie you're getting 24 hours for a bit over twice that.

m0rpheus · 08-21-2003, 11:01 PM

I wasnt too sure about it either but after checking out season 1 on dvd I was hooked.
Now I just need to see season 2. Thank god it comes out on dvd before season 3 starts.
Must have my 24 fix.
