Product Description
The complete third season of the real-time drama series. Three years on from the events of Day Two, Federal Agent Jack Bauer (Keifer Sutherland) has successfully captured and imprisoned the head of a Mexican drug cartel. But when a van deposits a dead body outside the LA Health Unit infected with a deadly virus, the Counter Terrorist Unit uncover a plot to blackmail the US Government with the threat of a released bio-weapon that will kill millions to ensure the release of the drug baron. Jack must infiltrate the gang and rid the world of the virus threat. Meanwhile, President Palmer is in LA seeking re-election to a second term, with his new chief of staff and girlfriend in tow.
Amazon.co.uk Review
There's not one cougar to be found in 24's dynamic third season, and that's good news for everyone. After Jack Bauer's daughter Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) survived hokey hazards in season 2, she's now a full-time staffer at CTU, the L.A.-based intelligence beehive that's abuzz once again--three years after the events of "Day Two"--when a vengeful terrorist threatens to release a lethal virus that could wipe out much of the country's population. Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) attempts to broker a deal for the virus involving drug kingpin Ramon Salazar (Joaquim de Almeida), whose operation Jack successfully infiltrated at high personal cost: to maintain his cover, he got hooked on heroin. That potentially deadly triangle--drug lords, addiction, and bioterrorism on a massive scale--sets the 24-hour clock ticking in a tight, action-packed plot involving a potential traitor in CTU's midst; the return of TV's greatest villainesses in Nina Meyers (Sarah Clarke) and former First Lady Sherry Palmer (Penny Johnson Jerald); a troubled romance between Kim and Jack's new partner Chase (James Badge Dale); and a scandalized reelection campaign by president David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert), who monitors CTU as they struggle to (literally) save the day.
The intricately woven subplots that are 24's greatest strength are masterfully developed here, and character arcs are equally strong, especially among CTU staffers Tony (Carlos Bernard) and his wife Michelle (Reiko Aylesworth); CTU director Ryan Chappelle (Paul Schulze), who is season 2's tragic bargaining chip; and the annoying but well-intentioned Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub), who makes pivotal contributions with by-the-book efficiency. It's 24's superior casting that overcomes the series' occasional lapses in credibility, and season 3's twists make marathon viewing a nerve-wracking delight. By the time it's all over, with a high body count and the surgical reattachment of a main character's severed hand, 24 once again leaves you gratefully exhausted. As always, Sutherland anchors the series in the role he was born to play. When Jack takes a private moment to release 24 hours' worth of near-fatal tension and psychological anguish, Sutherland proves that 24's dramatic priorities are as important as its thriller momentum. DVD extras include behind-the-scenes featurettes (about the prison break sequence, climactic F-18 Hornet air-strike, and real-life bio-weaponry) that pay welcome tribute to the series' hard-working crew, who create Emmy-worthy television under pressures as intense as 24 itself. --Jeff Shannon

One criticism for this season, though. The Kim being in danger storyline has happened way too many times over the previous 3 seasons, and as I'm aware *spoiler* that this was Elisha Cuthbert's last full season on the show *spoiler*, I just feel that they've done that story to the point the viewer was beginning to get a bit tired and weary of it. The whole of season 1, and the majority of season 2 was unlucky enough, but for a character to be the target 3 seasons running? It's just a tad unrealistic.
I really warmed to Michelle a lot better this season, and in some aspects I enjoyed watching Reiko Aylesworth's portrayal of Michelle more than I did Keifer Sutherlands portrayal of Jack. Episodes 4-5, 9, 15-18 and 22 in particular were great for her character and really showcased what she is capable of as an actress.
Once again Sarah Clarke and Penny Johnson Jerald do great jobs of portraying 24s characters you love to hate; Nina and Sherry. Nina was predictable, based on previous seasons, but we thought we knew Sherry at the end of season 2? She's more unhinged in Season 3, and the audience love Penny Johnson Jerald for it!
I even warmed to Chapelle this season - and I was NOT a fan of his in the first two seasons. Wayne is a great addition to the Palmer family as well. It's a shame that James Bridge Dale had left after this season, as Chase was an extremely likeable character. Tony is great as always - to me, him and Jack are what make 24 what it is! We even got to see Zachary Quinto in his early career! My complaint would be that he was a tad underused and shame he left after season 3 with no explanation. On the other hand, we have Chloe, and she is a great addition to the cast. The baby storyline was a great idea, but I was kind of disappointed that it turned out to be a part of Kim's story arc rather than Chloe's. There's more to that character than there appears at the surface, and I guess in Season 4 we will get to dive a bit deeper into that.
All in all, another great effort from the 24 cast. I literally finished watching the season minutes ago, and can't wait to get imminently stuck into what Season 4 has to bring!
This has definetely made it worth signing up for the instant video service, but order the DVD if you want, I'm sure the extras will justify the cost as much as the episodes do.
