Oh boy. Here we go again! Just another exciting day in the life of 24 super-agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland). The season kicks off with a deadly terrorist strike resulting in the kidnapping of his new boss, the U.S. Secretary of Defense James Heller (William Devane). Although a fired, ex-employee of the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU), it is no surprise who is going to shift into full gear to bring the terrorists to justice. However, it doesn't take the super-agent long to discover the kidnapping of his boss is part of a much larger plan, master-minded by Habib Marvan (Arnold Vosloh) the middle eastern terrorist cell leader the US government has been trying to track down for years. Considered by many to be the best season of the first four, 24 - Season 4 is a definite departure from the first three seasons. First, the cast is almost entirely new. Second, the pacing of each episode does not seem as frantic. There appears to be a shift from the reliance on plot-shifting cliff hangers (which in some ways dragged down the quality of Season 3), to a focus on complex, over-arcing, multiple storylines, albeit very violent. What may be missing in superficial action clichés is definitely compensated for in a richer plot. That's not to say the show has slowed down; it's still amped up beyond anything else on TV, but compared to the previous seasons, 24 has gotten a lot smarter, and in turn, better. --Rob Bracco

- Season Four, 24 TV Series
Season Four starts out VERY, VERY interesting and remains spell binding throughout.Such good acting, plots, twists and turns.Love it!
Rating: - A tale of two halves
As far as I'm concerned, this season should be titled 12, instead of 24.Yes there are 24 episodes just like every other season, but the first 12 episodes feel vastly different from the latter 12.The first 12 episodes in my opinion were some of the worst and probably the most boring of the entire series (at the time of this writing, 7 seasons have aired, all of which I have seen).The whole Araz family story was not remotely interesting to me, and it felt like they had as much screen time as ...

- Didn't hold my attention
I can honestly say I'm HOOKED on this series.I found it just within the last month and loved it so much I ordered EVERY season off Amazon.com right away.I had just watched all of Season 2 but had not received Season 3 yet so I jumped to Season 4.It just didn't hold my attention.Way too many soap opera moments for this to be an action series.I couldn't get through the second DVD before I gave up.I haven't given up on the series though and I've enjoyed all the other seasons I've watched.

- stupendous
Just when it seemed that 24 couldn't get any better, it did. A lot better.
Season Four introduces the usual agonizing plot twists but adds several exceptional new players: 'Edgar', Chloe's geeky (and ample) sidekick, Secretary of Defense Joseph Heller, his daughter Audrey, and the steely, purposeful terrorist Marwan.
Jack Bauer continues as the show's pivot: preternaturally principled in defense of his country, tactically beyond the pale, always on the edge of love ... Read More
Rating: - All About Relationships
Just like the previous three seasons of "24", Season Four will take you on a 24-hour thrill-ride, with mind-blowing action, drama, and twists and turns in every episode.Though the basic formula of the show is the same (CTU is still fighting terrorism, Jack Bauer is still really intense, etc.), the writers/producers are still able to produce some fantastic dramatic scenes, not exactly an easy feat after three years.
However, what really sets this season apart from the previous three is ... Read More
