What to Know

Critics Consensus

24's sophomore outing is not as elegantly structured as its predecessor, but the series firmly puts to rest any fears that its propulsive thrills were a one-time novelty.

Austin Smith New York Post This, my friends, is the real deal - a show that promises the goods and delivers them. Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times Serialized stories can be problematic; witness those relatively soft ratings that dogged the original "24." If this season's first two episodes are an indication, though, watch every hour and you'll be rewarded. Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Caryn James New York Times Darkly entertaining and as absorbing as ever, this season of 24 reflects a new wartime mentality, one that suits a war lurking in the shadows. Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Betsy Bozdech DVDJournal.com The season isn't perfect, by any means ... but for sheer adrenaline-rush TV, it's hard to beat. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 12, 2022 Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk ... while the key plots are still interesting and there are some fun shoot-outs and twists, the side stories are often really uninteresting or at worse extremely annoying. Rated: 3/5 May 10, 2021 Full Review Terry Kelleher People Magazine Bottom Line: Time well spent. Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

WAYNE L There are very few series that comes close to how good this series is.. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/25 Full Review Elver C "24" season 2, continues to deliver the goods with a high paced, thrilling and entertained season that never feels slow, the secondary plots all have a purpose and connects with the main one (kudos to the Warner family storyline) except for Kim Bauer's subplot that is basically filler, only made to put the character on the screen, it never feels connected to the others events happening during the season. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/30/24 Full Review Castiel A This show is so unbelievably dumb. Jack's character is the only saving grace. Every other character acts like they have room temp IQ at all times. Season 2 episode 19 is by far the worst writing out literally anything I've EVER seen in media. Yusuf's death is so ungodly stupid it drives me insane. Random rednecks from out of absolute thin air in LA?!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WHAT IS THIS?! WHY?! THE ABSOLUTE PEAK OF DUMB WRITING.I swear to god...they had the dumbest writers of all time. You couldn't write a worse episode than that. Period Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/27/23 Full Review Dave C Thankfully, the continued constipated tension is eventually surpassed by a storyline that actually delivers thrills and tension, with character relationships that don't constantly irritate. Much better than Day 1 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/10/23 Full Review Brett R I actually like this season more than the ground breaking Day 1, which redefined television as a storytelling medium, so that's saying something. The supposed weak link B-plot involving babysitting actually works as a plot device and is completely forgivable since the writers were still feeling out the concept. Everything else works perfectly in a brilliant stretch of elegant storytelling in a season that rivals Day 5, which actually won the Emmy. Must see. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/23 Full Review maitham h Well, that was disappointing. I only watched the first episode and stopped immediately after that. Isn't what made this show great that it was about each day. Why skip a year and something? This show went from being great to awful. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
