Action Packed, Filled With Twists And Turns
Jack Bauer is having another one of his very bad days in the second
season of the groundbreaking real-time thriller 24. Once again the hours
are ticking by with more guaranteed cliffhangers than a convention of
mountain climbers. Holed up in a Los Angeles condo and estranged from
his daughter, Jack is no longer on the government payroll; unfortunately for
him, this small fact doesnt seem to matter to President David Palmer and
the NSA, who call him back in to the CTU and give him 24 hours to
infiltrate a terrorist organization that is planning to detonate a dirty bomb in
the city of angels. All Jack wants is to get his daughter out of the city,
unfortunately Kims new employer, the abusive father of the child she is
nannying, has other ideas. Fans of the original wont be disappointed, as
there are more than enough shock moments in the first few hours to hint at
the climactic build-up to come, while newcomers can quickly get involved
in the lives of Jack and his family. There are some new characters to
bolster the veteran cast and, interestingly (although not surprisingly), Jacks
character has taken an altogether darker, more psychopathic turn. The
danger the characters find themselves in also has a much more global, not
to mention topical, impetus, grounded as it is in the war against terrorism.
Although the territory is more familiar this time around, this second season
is just as much a high-tension, taut, adrenalin-fuelled ride as the first, and
one that will have you glued to your TV for the next 24 hours. --Kristen

Jack Bauer is still recovering from losing his wife, and his daughter isnt
speaking to him as she is also still trying to recover. The last thing Jack
wants to do is go back to work, but there is a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles
and one of the men who knows something about it is someone Jack dealt
with when he was working undercover. Reluctantly, Jack is pulled back
into his old life and spends the next 24 hours desperately searching for the
bomb and the people behind it while trying to get his daughter out of LA in
case the bomb does go off.
Season 2 of 24 crackles from the very beginning and has some great
twists. The action never lets up for long and many times you wonder what
Jack will do next as everything seems to go wrong. Kiefer Sutherland gives
a great performance and the screen is more alive when hes on it. Dennis
Haysbert is commanding and authoritative as President Palmer while he
tries to figure out who he can trust as members of his own staff work
against him. Nina Meyers makes a surprise return. The interplay between
her and Jack works on many levels. Overall one of 24s best seasons.
