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.

This, my friends, is the real deal - a show that promises the goods and delivers them. Go to Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times 11/19/2018
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. Go to Full Review Caryn James New York Times 10/31/2018
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. Go to Full Review Betsy Bozdech DVDJournal.com 01/12/2022

The season isn't perfect, by any means ... but for sheer adrenaline-rush TV, it's hard to beat. Go to Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk 05/10/2021

... 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. Go to Full Review Terry Kelleher People Magazine 11/19/2018

Taylor H @TJJordan84 Apr 9 Season 2 (aka Day 2) is a massive improvement that takes everything good from the previous season and expands upon it, with even bigger stakes than before. From the filmmaking to the look & style of the show, the performances, and the writing, everything is taken to the next level that sees the true potential of the series realized. The entire nuclear bomb plot had me hooked from beginning to end. My only issue with this season are the scenes with Kim Bauer, but with the power of fast-forward, that’s easily solved. All I have to say is that if you felt let down by Season 1, then you will not be disappointed by Season 2. See more Koen H @Hilveuh Oct 22 Re-watched all seasons just now... Saw them live 25 years ago: awesomeness! And now still alive and kicking !! Hardcore Jack Bauer fan here 😁 See more Raymond C @RT17651982 07/26/2025 A strong sophomore season with higher stakes and more action. The first two thirds of this season aren't nearly as good as the last part of it but there is still plenty to enjoy here. See more WAYNE L @RT69440290 04/24/2025 There are very few series that comes close to how good this series is.. See more Elver C @RT14102544 05/30/2024 "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. See more Dave C @RT09838700 07/10/2023 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 See more Read all reviews
