Amazon.co.uk Review
The further adventures of Los Angeles' Counter Terrorism Unit's finest initially sees Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer in a Chinese prison and not in good shape. But, this being 24, it's not too long before the breakneck plot has revved into gear, and the wheels are turning again on a frantic real-time ride that's thoroughly in the tradition of what's become television's finest thriller. You won't be finding plot spoilers here, because half the fun of 24 is not knowing what unexpected twist the scriptwriters have for you around the next corner. All that matters is that the world is under threat, and it's up to Jack Bauer to lead the fightback. And it's Kiefer Sutherland that's the real asset to series six; whereas particularly in season five he took a sideways step to accommodate stronger supporting characters, here he's shouldering a greater degree of the show's narrative thrust. You'd be hard pushed to declare that season six is vintage 24, but that's more to do with the context of particularly the excellent run that preceded it. But few shows can match its audacious verve, and repeated ability to surprise and enthral. So while season six may have too many villains, and may ask you to bear with it through a few troughs, there's still nothing out there to match it. Jump aboard… --Jon Foster

 Another high octane, high suspence installment of Jack Bauer at his best! March 17, 2007

More explosions, more shocks, and more of Jack Bauer doing what he does best. Fans of 24 and those new to the series will love day 6. Once again you will be on the edge of your seat throughout, suffering from sleep deprivation because you have GOT to watch the next epsiode to see what happens.
The bad press in the US regarding how the torture scenes in 24 are affecting troop morale in Iraq came out in the middle of this series, so day 6 has by no means been dumbed down from previous series, with a number of scenes that have you covering your face thinking "that's gotta hurt." Without giving too much away, there are a number of differences in this series compared to previous ones. We start the series with America in the aftermath of a sustained terror campaign, adding different dimensions to the series such as how frail and seemingly desperate the US is. Another major difference is that this series is much more personal to Jack, introducing us to more members of the Bauer family. The involvement of Jack's family as well as the experiences he endured for two years in China has also changed Jack slightly, as the memories of what has happened in his life coupled with what he has to endure in this series affect him more than ever.
Once again the major characters from previous series such as Bill and Chloe remain, and we are also introduced to some new key people, who will most likely play a prominent role in future series. As per usual there are a number of different plots surrounding the primary terrorist one, most importantly how the White House deals with the aftermath of the terror attacks, and the lengths they are prepared to go to in order to stop future ones.
Overall, one of the best 24 series so far, drawing on the best and most effective aspects of previous series, and adding new dimensions that keep this latest installment fresh, and not just a copy of previous series. A must for all fans of epic entertainment!

Having been a little unsettled by some of the less than glowing reviews I had read by people who clearly take the whole thing a little too seriously (I'm pretty serious, but not that serious!), I found this series to be one of the best. People may find themselves tiring of the same old format... if so watch something else! Jack's character is building nicely, and the usual formula of presidential and personal drama is again well executed. I'd put this series down as one of the best... if you want more of the same, you won't be disappointed.
6 of the best from Kiefer and Co.. September 25, 2007

First of all, I can't believe some of the prior reviews that rip into the 'shortfalls' of the plot etc....this isn't what 24 is about!!! Dont worry about it, just get the dvd in the machine and enjoy. In fact, get all 6 series and watch beginning to end. It'll take less time than you think it's that addictive.
24 is about involving television drama and entertainment and all six series have shown this is spades. Series 6 starts with JB (no not James Bond or Jason Bourne!) being released from Chinese captivity as the US is in a state of chaos and in the grip of terrorism...President Palmer is under mounting pressure for internment of all Middle eastern Americans, and CTU has a thread that can put an end to the endless suicide bombings....Other series have a quiet period at the beginnimg, series 6 starts right in the middle of it.
There are a lot of parallels that can be made between the 24 world and the 'Real' world. I have thought to myself "If I were Amercian, Id rather have David Palmer as President" or "I cant see Donald Rumsfeld doing that!!" etc etc.
This is the beauty of 24, the scope of the sub stories which mostly adds substance to the main plot. From the behind the scenes political machinations going on in Washington, to the decisions Jack and his colleagues have to make to get the job done where the stakes are high and personal stuff gets put on hold. That personal stuff for all the characters is always bubbling just above the surface though.
The worlds of world politics and intelligence are murky indeed and this series(and previous)is not too far fetched. You get to know about Jack's background in this series which is an interesting twisted subplot.
Anyway, still by far the greatest TV series....forget your Sopranos, Prison break, Heroes etc...Jack has still got it. Roll on Series 7 and the film (set over here in good ol' Blighty too!)
"THIS IS THE LONGEST REVIEW OF MY LIFE"
A good continuation of a great franchise July 21, 2007

Season 5 of 24, put bluntly, was the greatest season the show had ever put out, and coming from a fan since season one, is an incredible accomplishment to be lauded by so many as peaking in its 5th season.
Season 6 picks up from season 5 and hits the ground running straight away with arguably the best 4 episodes to begin a season of 24, especially with the twist in the final moments of episode 4.
As with the previous seasons 24 sticks to its tried and trusted formula and still delivers a solid season, however, not quite the spectacular follow up to the previous seasons "Classic" fans expected.
Love 24? Then you should love season 6

Nuclear bombs going off on US soil, the most powerful nation in history at it's knees, and as usual, only one man seems to have the aptitude and skill neccessary to see it out.
The man, is of course, Jack Bauer, the programme, naturally 24.
Those of you who've seen the first five series, will need no prompting to buy this boxset, those of you who haven't, buy the first five series first (they're worth whatever they're charged at) and then buy this explosive, exciting and wonderful sixth series.
Some people claim this series is a let down, personally, I'd say it's the equal of any series, all the new characters are excellent, President Wayne Palmer is almost as impressive as his brother, and the likes of O'Brien and Buchanon are as good as ever.
It's pretty much typical 24, real time, real action, really good television!
