Set eighteen months after the dramatic finale to Season Four, things get off to a shocking and pulsating beginning. You won’t find plot spoilers in this review, yet it’s as if the writers realised they had some serious carpet-pulling to do to keep the show’s audience intrigued once again. Set, as usual, over the course of one single day, there’s then a slight lull in the first third, before things spring ferociously into life. Make no mistake: if you can overcome the usual need to suspend elements of your disbelief, this is the best series of 24 since the first, and as it winds near to its equally dramatic conclusions, it’s simply hard to take your eyes off it. Joining the usual cast too is a procession of familiar names. Peter Weller (Roboocop), Sean Astin (The Lord Of The Rings) and C Thomas Howell (The Hitcher) are among those doing their curriculum vitae no harm, but the acting honours are taken by the wonderful combination of President Logan and his first lady, played by Gregory Itzin and Jean Smart. With a denouement that sets up a sparkling sixth season, this fifth series of 24 is a genuinely significant achievement. It’s packed full of surprises, isn’t afraid to take a few risks, and as all good thrillers should, it keeps you on the edge of your seat for far longer than is comfortable. A superb show, very much on top form.--Simon Brew

Amazon.co.uk Review
The adventures of Counter Terrorism Unit agent Jack Bauer have rarely been dull. Yet after four series of battling the bad guys in real time, some could rightfully wonder whether 24 had lots its edge, and its ability to surprise. The fifth season should put any such doubts to shame.
24 season 5

24 series 5

This was a great series with President Palmer being assasinated to the dethrowning of a corrupt president. It is a little far fetched but that is the beauty of 24 - it is a high octane andrelaine trip over 1 day.
The price was reasonable and the value for money was fantastic.
excellent

Season 5 of 24 is easily on par with season 1, which are my 2 favourite seasons, for their storyline value and quality of execution.
Season 1 had Jack's family in the firing line, but season 5 sees some of his closest friends affected, which is the catalyst for Jack's vengeance, which is pure entertainment to watch.
This is arguably the best opening episode to a 24 season, hands down, with some shocking moments!
A must buy for any 24 fan!
Best 2 episodes so far
