 - ExcellentThe dvd set arrived 2 days after I had purchased it. I was very impressed at how quickly I received it. It arrived in excellent condition. I will buy from them again. Thanks. Rating:  - 24 seasonsIf you have ever read Robert Ludlum and loved his books this is the video set for you. I prefer seasons one and three but all seasons will hold your interest and pump your adrenaline. All seasons revolve around Jack Bauer who is the super agent in the counter terrorist agency. Rating:  - I am sorry but only an idiot gives this season 5 stars...Let me state for the record: Seasons 1 and 3 are deserving of five stars, this is barely deserving the one star minimum. This season introduces new plot threads but drags them through the mud for a few episodes and moves to the next without bothering to tie up the loose ends. Many new characters are simply uninteresting and deserve less screen time than they recieve. Plus, how many seasons are going to feature Arab terrorists trying to nuke the US....I guess this is an easy plot for the average American to swallow, but lets try for some originality please. Plus, can we pick a plot thread and stick to it? Rating:  - Never disappiontingI feel this is one of the all time best TV series ever created. I am always amazed on how intriguing and well-crafted all the episodes tend to be. You never feel like the writing, acting & direction is ever just going through the motions. Season 4 is no exception. Although it's not the best season of 24, it is certainly very good. Always leaving you wanting more and on the edge of your seat. The deleted scenes are unnecessary and I recommend you skip them all together when you're watching an episode for the first time. There was good reason for editing them out. The kind of ruin some scenes all-together. Rating:  - Absurd. Total suspension of disbelief required.Beware - spoilers below. Curiously, 24 is a show that suffers on DVD (but I prefer watching any show in this format, without waiting for weeks and being capable of deciding when to watch them). Why does it suffer? Because the concept of real time action is seriuosly hurt when we watch the episodes back to back wihtout the week-long intervals. The plot holes and absurdity of it all became much more clear to the viewer. Anyway, Season Four reached the bottom of the barrel in the plot recordind the defense contractor company. Man, that was the most ludicrous history they ever wrote in 24... In order to not get cuaght and to not have bad publicity overt heir business, the company's directors are capable of having squads and more squads of hired killers and decide to use them to kil Federal agents and torture a civilian and, after this fails, tehy decide to use an eltromagnetic bomb to destroy all computers and electronic devices around, once again in front of the federal agent (bauer). Both course of action would not only incriminate the company and generate bad publicity (which was what they were trying to avoid in the first place)but would terminate the company forever and put al the board of director in jail forever!!! This was, I repeat, one of the most absurd plots in all 24 seasons and in all modern TV shows!
