In life, [David Palmer] made 24 a great show. In death, he made it even better. Go to Full Review Charles McGrath New York Times Nov 8, 2018
But far from diminishing the show, these repetitions add an element of reassurance. Go to Full Review Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune Nov 8, 2018
The genius of "24" is not just that viewers get to root for a riveting hero (though Bauer certainly uses questionable methods at times), but that the show, in its fifth year, gives us a compelling anti-hero as well. Go to Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files Jul 3, 2020
10/10
Every long running series has that season that's unquestionably the standout. For 24 it's definitely Season 5. Go to Full Review Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies Apr 9, 2019
4/5
The best part about "24" is the show's guts. This show has possibly the highest body count I've seen on television. Go to Full Review Alex Carter Den of Geek Nov 15, 2018
The only thing that was annoying about season 5 was that you absolutely could not stop watching it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Taylor H @TJJordan84 Apr 9, 2026 People say that Season 5 is the best season and I can understand why, because it’s about a perfect season of 24 as it can possibly get. While I personally prefer Season 2, I cannot deny that this comes in as a very close 2nd place. Taking on unresolved plot elements from Season 4 and bringing them in for Season 5 was a genius move, allowing the show to have some major interconnected storylines that builds upon continuity and offers satisfying payoffs. Including a very satisfying cliffhanger that tops the previous season’s. It’s honestly amazing that a show has managed to stay this strong for 5 whole seasons straight.
