Once again, jack is launched into another hectic 24 hours to catch a group of terrorists who threaten the US. There is a strong feeling of déjà vous in this season, the story is in many ways just too similar to the previous season, and it also lacks the edge of your seat tension that previous seasons had. Having said that, it concludes the main story half a dozen episodes before the end to pursue another storyline that neatly brings conclusion to the "outstanding" issues in Jack's life, which at least breaks the similarity with previous seasons. It's not as fast and edgy, but it's still a great show, and well worth the almost giveaway price that it's selling for a the moment.

i'm a massive 24 fan and never been so dispointed everything was so poor the story line it's like a 2 year old write this , the story line was SO unbelivable please give the viewer so credit for intelligence it like they wrote this an djust trying to sell and taking 24 fan for gurantedd we want a thriller with begining middle and end and my hole family watches this and all agreee worst seriesss so farrrrr! do not buy this unless its £5

Just finished this Season recently, and overall found it quite entertaining. It started excellently and ended the same way I felt. The stuff in the middle went from gripping to repetitive. But there is plenty in this Season to warrant a purchase. Not the best Season, but also not the worst.

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 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.

I felt really let down by this season. Seems to me like the writers got really lazy and just decided to use past storylines and plots to fill a season. When you watch it, you find yourself saying.... " hasn't this happened before?" I know we need to take a lot of the storylines with a big pinch of salt but the Saxa manufacturing plant wouldn't provide enough for this Season! I'm going to stick with it and will be just as excited about Season 7 as I have been previously. I hope the writers deliver.

After the best season ever (season 5) with a truly shocking finale this season was never going to be as good.

Its has its high points but the finale is rubbish and leaves you feeling very let down, I was expecting a whole lot more, or maybe my expectations were too high following the end of season 5.

Seasons 1, 2 and 5 were the best with 4 in the mid range with season 6. The worst season of 24 has to be season 3 with the most annoying side kick in Chase Edmunds. Jack works alone he doesn't need help!, what were the writers thinking

Season 7 looks to rectify a disappointing season 6.

Yes, this is a low rating. And since a lot of people expecting reasons to buy this will understandably be quite dubious of this I should explain.

Seasons 1 and 2 of 24 were just superb pieces of television. Gripping and innovative throughout they really just set the benchmark for a whole new caliber of television we really hadn't seen before in any shape or form. Seasons 3 and 4 weren't quite as spectacular and arguably took a little for the plot to find its feet and really take hold, but when this did happen they were equally as jaw-dropping as the previous seasons. Season 5 in my opinion was a complete surprise. Instead of having a dip in quality as I'd expected it was in fact better than we'd seen for a long time, arguably the best since the show began.

Season 6 then, was a disappointment. It tried to start off far too big, and then almost instantly ran out of steam with no other credible place for the plot to go. The subplots were uninteresting and often silly, most of the new characters were highly unlikable and dull, and many returning ones were given character changes for the worse. The plot simply wasn't interesting enough to sustain interest and I knew something was going very wrong when I started feeling watching new episodes a chore instead of something that kept me gripped.

I'm sure fans of 24 will still want to buy the boxset, but anyone who hasn't already watched the season just keep in mind it really isn't as good as you'd expect. Here's to hoping Season 7 (meant to air in January but on hiatus due to the writer's strike) will fare better.

Well what can be said about this season... Any existing character that had any relationship with Jack was either killed off or removed again.
Don't get me wrong the season still has the 24 high octane action and tense moments, but now you basically got Bauer isolated with new characters.
This season has some fantastic parts in it and is well worth buying, but it doesn't match up to earlier seasons such as 3 and 4.

Brilliant!! One of the best seasons yet! the story is very good and the whole season keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout! simply brilliant!

After the brilliance of Season 5 (the best Season by a country mile in my opinion) this was always going to have it's work cut out. But to fail so spectacularly was unexpected and sad. To say the writers seem out of ideas is the understatement of the year. Repetetive, at times downright silly and, most unforgivably, dull and boring for the most part this is just not good enough for a show that has (until now) been consistently superb since its debut season. There are far too many incredible shows out there at the moment - Heroes, The Wire, Battlestar Galactica to name but a few - for this to be anything like good enough. I live in hope though - for me all the weakest 24 seasons have been the 'even number' ones - 1,3 and 5 easily being the most gripping. Hopefully Season 7 will continue the trend and get the show back to its awesome best.
