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, 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

Customer Review of 24 - Season Three
The end of the first trilogy!
This series starts off as a slow burn and builds the tension to breaking point. The first episode sets up the game pieces and characters that we are about to see for the next 24 hours. The first hour while slow establishes that it is 3 years on from the last series and the people that we know and love have moved on with their lives. Michelle and Tony are married and re happy. Kim is working at CTU (where hopefully she stays out of trouble, YEAH RIGHT!) and Jack is the most intrigueing of all, he has spent the last year of his life bringing down a Pablo Escobar-like drug lord Ramon Sallazar played deliciously by Joaquim De Almeida, in doing so he has pushed away Kate Warner (the woman he met in Season 2) and developed an addiction which could seriously effect his performance as head of Field Operations for CTU. Jack also has a protege named Chase who is almost as resourceful as Jack but who is also seeing Jack's daughter Kim. President Palmer, we learn, survived his poisoning at the cliffhanger end of season 2 and is returning to LA to compete in a presidential debate with Republican opponent Senator Keeler. <
> <
>With that out of the way we come to the plot, a body is left at health services by terrorists. The body shows that the person died from exposure to a weaponized virus (think of it as fast acting ebola). Terrorists demand the release of Ramon Sallazar from prison, if the authorities fail to comply they will release the virus upon the public. Being that America does not negotiate with terrorists it looks like there is gonna be a lot of dead bodies, as CTU has no way of stopping it's release, it could come from anywhere. <
> <
>This series throws most conventions set by the previous 2 out the proverbial window. A lot of the characters that we know and love make some tough life-altering decisions and not necessarily for the better. Jack is just flat-out ruthless this season, he is a workaholic who is still dealing with his wife's murder almost five years on, all he has is the job, he has just about pushed away all who care about him. He does whatever he has to do to accomplish the mission even if it means hurting friends and collegues, the man is separated from his humanity, which makes the ending so powerful, more on that later. <
>Palmer is almost aloof this season but I think he was meant to be written that way as he has developed a certain hubris from being in power, what he sows comes back to haunt him at the end of day. <
>Series 3 rips it's characters to shreds sometimes physically, always emotionally and we can't help but watch. The theme of this series seems to be about sacrifice, Jack, Tony, Michelle, Palmer, and Chase all lose something. Even Palmers brother loses the proverbial love of his life in a major subplot. <
>I feel that this series concludes a trilogy. There is no big suprise cliffhanger ending like the last two seasons, no silent clock, essentially the producers could have ended the series at 3 and I would have been satisfied. This series wraps up the whole Jack-Nina and Palmer-Sherry saga. Which have been the crux of three seasons. <
>Buy this series, the acting is superb and the themes are almost Shakespearean when you look closer. The plot as I said is a slow starter but delivers a great pay-off with scenes and scenarios that rival those of a Hollywood blockbuster, this folks is TV at it's best. <

Fabulous series!
This show is the best! So fast-paced and intriguing, so well done. Even our ten-year old daughter got hooked! We make it a family entertainment experience! I also use it to make the time on our cardio equipment go by quickly -- I don't even notice I am working out becaue my interest is so focused on the action.

A Different Storyline From Seasons 1 & 2, But it Works
Anyone who's tired of Kim Bauer running around, don't worry. She's pretty much done with that here. I know a lot of fans of the show were sick of her after Season 2, if not already from Season 1. While she does have a very minor storyline here, it's small enough to not really have an impact on the rest of the plot. Thank God! <
> <
>Season 3 introduces a new storyline and plot. I think you'll find that it is not like what we found in the first two seasons. This is good. I think the writers of 24 realized that they needed to come up with something different, and they also needed to add a new dimension to the character of Jack Bauer. There is also more of a "shock" element in this season, which is why I actually liked this season better than the first two. The surprises caught me off guard, and, for the most part, the story didn't wander into the bounds of the "oh, come on, that wouldn't happen," which is good. The story is more even as well. <
> <
>The first two seasons, we saw Bauer doing some amazing things, but here, you may start to question if he's doing more harm than good on this mission. Bauer puts himself in a situation that might have you quickly asking, "what is he doing?!?" I know I did. I won't say more than this, because to do so would give away a key plot-point. In any case, you'll see Kiefer Sutherland add more characterization to Jack. He has more depth in this season as he has new struggles and issues to deal with. The question now being, can he deal with it? Or is Jack Bauer finally in over his head? <
> <
>The plot in this season has to do with a deadly virus. This is mentioned on the back of the box in the synopsis, so I know I'm not giving anything away here. Everyone in the world knows the seriousness of biological warfare. This was a good direction for 24 to go in. You figure that after the threat of a nuclear bomb in Season 2, the most logical place to go next would be the threat of a deadly virus. <
> <
>Once again, the supporting cast is tremendous. Dennis Haysbert as President Palmer is back and seeking a second term in office. However, something comes up that might threaten his chances of staying in office. D.B. Woodside plays Wayne Palmer, David's brother. He's also the Chief of Staff. I know it's stepping outside the boundaries to have your own brother as the second most powerful man in the government, but just go with it. You'll find that this relationship is not all that's cracked up to be, and David turns to an unlikely ally to help him. Will it work? Or will it backfire? The answer might surprise you. <
> <
>Carlos Bernard is back as Tony Almeida. I like Almeida because there is a lot of depth to his character. Almeida is much like Jack as far as dedication goes, but just how far is Tony willing to go? What is he willing to give up? These are questions that will plague him during this season. Tony is now the director of C.T.U Los Angeles. His second-in-command is his wife, Michelle Dessler, played by the lovely actress, Reiko Alyesworth. <
> <
>Reiko does a great job with Michelle. She's able to find the balance between being sensitive and compassionate, and being tough and gritty. She'll do what it takes, and her focus never really strays. Aside from Jack, she's the one person you want helping you in a crisis. <
> <
>Kim Bauer is back in this season, but she's got a job at C.T.U. as a computer analyst. I know, I know...you have to wonder about this. Trust me, just let this story arc go. She's basically been relegated to a much more secondary role than before. Also, this story takes place three years later from season 2, so one could argue that she's acquired the necessary training. Kim also has a new love in her life, Chase Edmunds. <
> <
>Chase Edmunds is Jack's partner, played by actor, James Badge Dale. He does a good job with the part. Jack already has issues with Kim becoming involved with a field agent. <
> <
>Season 3 is very effective because there are several surprising events that take place that I doubt you will see coming. One of the things that I like so much about 24, is the willingness of the writers to do anything. These guys are not afraid to kill off main characters or instill severe tragedy into the storyline. In short, nothing is untouchable as far as their concern. They are always willing to push the envelope further and further. 24 is a show where anything can happen. And much like the first two seasons, the episodic power of the show is still intact. In other words, you simply can't stop with one episode. You HAVE to find out what happens next! And it's this element that keeps 24 aloft as one of the best shows in television.
