24: Season 6 Box Set (7 Discs)

I deliberately waited for the annual price reduction to get Series 6 for £17.99, but I really don't know what people are complaining about calling Series 6 the worst season ever - do they not remember Series 3 with its barely daytime-soap-opera-quality B plots? Only the main storyline was any good and the rest was padding until the very end.

Series 6 does repeat one major event from earlier in 24's history but with greater consequences, develops another character from previous seasons to a much greater degree and continues the theme of Jack and family just like the first two seasons. The overall political sabre-rattling between the superpowers is also well written and acted. There's one event that's repeated for the third time and that grates a little but I enjoyed the rest.

Other than Series 1, Overall I have enjoyed the 4th series as second best, this latest season is on a par with series 2 or 5 but simply ends one plot and begins another rather than padding out the one… more »

Other than Series 1, Overall I have enjoyed the 4th series as second best, this latest season is on a par with series 2 or 5 but simply ends one plot and begins another rather than padding out the one story. Ironically, the writers' strike might be the best thing to happen to the show, it'll give more time to make series 7 something new. The ending is much calmer than in previous years because the biggest fireworks happened earlier, but there's nothing wrong with some emotion rather than just slam bang action throughout the entire 18 hours.

to be completely honest, while i love 24 and everything, this was only mildly entertaining.

after so many regulars were killed off in the previous season, Jack Bauer's character has been left isolated. alot of the best bits of previous seasons have come from older characters and their relationships with Jack and to each other. it added to the drama of it and gave 24 a certain humanity. it doesnt help that Jack is basically a superman-type. the writers could have done so much more with his ordeal between the end of the season 5 and the start of this one but they only touch on it very gently and then after a few episodes, Jack is back to his normal self.

also, this series just throws together numerous old set-pieces together. almost all of the 'pivotal' bits have been recycled from past seasons. the last 6 or so episodes with the Chinese story-arc are excellent, but overall it feels like you've seen it all before. its compelling, but nowhere near as good as past… more »

heres hoping the forthcoming season 7 is the 'rebirth' myself, and many other fans are hoping for!
