24 {2nd.Season} (DVD Review) - 17/2/07

24 continues straight into Season 2 with never a let-up plowing more or less continuously into the next 24 hour period and a literal race against time with every totally impossible situation thrown at all the characters that they might as well have chucked in the kitchen sink on top! A few emotional highs tug at the heartstrings (I got the tissues out at a couple of scenes) along the way as the action gathers pace and things fall into the various slots as people fall by the wayside and burn out, the tortuous pacing chews your fingernails to the quick and the quite breathless rigmarole of intense scene after scene is enough to make you scream. Everything that can happen does and although some plot points can be guessed ahead of time nothing is all that straight forward as the twists and turns get further knotted amongst the deceptions and lies, betrayals and gainsaying. Charging into these six discs is absolutely nerve jangling and leaves the seventh disc with a selection of Special Features with Deleted Scenes, Featurettes, Documentaries and Episode Commentaries which round off the high tensile excitement of Season 2 nicely.
