24 - Season Three

The intricately woven subplots that are 24's greatest strength are masterfully developed here, and character arcs are equally strong, especially among CTU staffers Tony (Carlos Bernard) and his wife Michelle (Reiko Aylesworth); CTU director Ryan Chappelle (Paul Schulze), who is season 2's tragic bargaining chip; and the annoying but well-intentioned Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub), who makes pivotal contributions with by-the-book efficiency. It's 24's superior casting that overcomes the series' occasional lapses in credibility, and season 3's twists make marathon viewing a nerve-wracking delight. By the time it's all over, 24 once again leaves you gratefully exhausted. As always, Sutherland anchors the series in the role he was born to play. When Jack takes a private moment to release 24 hours' worth of near-fatal tension and psychological anguish, Sutherland proves that 24's dramatic priorities are as important as its thriller momentum. DVD extras include behind-the-scenes featurettes (about the prison break sequence, climactic F-18 Hornet air-strike, and real-life bio-weaponry) that pay welcome tribute to the series' hard-working crew, who create Emmy-worthy television under pressures as intense as 24 itself. --Jeff Shannon

24 still rules (2008-11-17)
Customer Review : 5
I watched this season on tv when it originally aired (2002 I believe?) and it was phenomenal. This season is what got me hooked and I've been watching ever since. I've seen every season now and I still think this is one of the best. It is much different because the terrorist threat involves the release of a virus, as opposed to the usual nuclear attack.

Bottom line, this show is the most intense on tv, is comparable to a really long suspense movie, and has the biggest hard--- on television: Jack Bauer. If you like the other seasons, or if this description sounds appealing, then don't overthink it: this show rules.

Glad to be able to watch something other than sports so selling the seasons of our favorite shows that are on too late at night is a great idea.

The Best Season Since The First One (2008-10-18)
Customer Review : 4
Since there are over 200 reviews probably relaying the whole season,I want to make it my review short and simple.
This season was the craziest, most dangerous season I've seen so far. If I thought Jack Bauer couldn't surprise me, he definitely left my jaw dropped on several occassions. And I like the fact that they show Jack making mistakes that make his character a bit more believable. Although it sucked that almost everyone he came in contact to and agreed to help ended up dead, it was good and needed for the storyline. True enough some decisions seemed rushed and left the audience lost and a bit disappointed, but it was overall a really good season. I think this one had my heart beating the most and kept me wanting the hit my computer screen! LOL
it was a good watch for me and I would watch it again.
Way better than Season 2, that's for sure.
