How are seasons 4 and 5 of 24? I can get a good deal on them, I've seen the first 3 seasons already.
As a fan, I think season four is great while five left me initially dissapointed, but in hindsight, having seen season six which was incredibly mediocre and rehashed way too much, has grown on me a bit more. If you really enjoyed seasons 1~3, I don't feel you can do much wrong. Still, the law of diminishing returns is hard to shake in this show. Indeed, I might rank the seasons in the order that they aired.Quoting Saya (view post)

Season 4 is enjoyable fluff, while season 5 went overboard with the shock value.Quoting Saya (view post)
Still worth seeing though.
(As far as I'm concerned both are better than season 3, which was terribly uneven)
Last movies seen

Season 4 is the best season of the show. Season 5 is actually pretty damn good, and may end up being the last truly good season of the show. I'd rank the seasons as such:
1. Season 4
2. Season 1
3. Season 5
4. Season 2
5. Season 3
6. Season 6
I still need to revisit Season 3, and I plan on finally watching Season 2 on DVD which I bought a while back.

That hair would have been completely out of style in 1994.Quoting MadMan (view post)
1. Season 1
2. Season 5
3. Season 2
4. Season 3
5. Season 4
I only stayed with Season 6 for the first quarter or so before I gave up, and all I heard constantly was that it only got worse from where I left off. The first five seasons, even if they got more and more implausible each year, I found to be consistently entertaining and amazingly gripping television.
Last 11 things I really enjoyed:
Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
Safe (Haynes, 1995)
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
Diva (Beineix, 1981)
Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)
They have just started Season 4 on TV here, so I watched... my mind kept wandering, and I couldn't believe people actually enjoyed six seasons worth of that.
Well, how many seasons worth of that could you believe people enjoyed? :PQuoting [ETM] (view post)

This reminds me of when I recommended bac0n change his name to Minya.
I think I saw a trailer for season 7 a little while which devoted some time to Bauer in court, heroically defending his actions, beating us over the heads with the following message:
Torture is GOOD and NECESSARY and GETS RESULTS.
I'm never watching this show.
He DOES get results.

I'm not quite excited yet, but this is certainly a cool addition.

24 always manages to pull in some fairly big stars. Last season it was Powers Boothe, this season its Jon Voight. Awesome.
