Summary: The Following Is A Review of One of the Greatest Shows Ever
Review: 12:00 a.m.-12:00 a.m. on one of the longest days of all times. Jack Bauer must save a presidential candidate as well as himself and his own family, and he must uncover the mole working in his own organization. This is probably the greatest drama TV show ever. From the first hour to the last minute, you will be hooked, and you will never want to stop watching. There is a new twist every hour that will hook you. The actors are great, and the characters are developped extremely well. Trust me, you will never have a better (or worse, if you are a character in the show) day.

Summary: Mixed feelings
Review: 24 - Season One evoked mixed feelings.

As entertainment, the first half of the season is an innovative roller coster thriller, but the second half falls apart and overstretches the viewer's willingness to suspend disbelief.

As a moral message it just scares me. Jack Bauer will do "anything to protect my family". He breaks the law, he jeopardizes the lives of friends, colleagues, and strangers. We cheer him on because hey, it's OK to break the law if it's for a Greater Cause. Who can argue against that? 50 years ago, serial action heroes, e.g. Zorro, broke the law but usually when they were in a corrupt country or region with self-serving officials. Today, action heroes break the law because they are impatient with the system, or because the system doesn't meet their selfish needs. Do we cheer them on for the same reason?

Recommended for the action and the thrills, but ask yourself how much you really sympathize with Bauer.

Summary: interesting concept...
Review: 24 hours for 24 episodes in 'real-time', eh?.
24 was a great series (more to come?)...

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but my favourite episodes were...

Episodes 1-7 (12am - 7am)
"The sleeping episodes" - watching Jack Bauer sleep for the first 7 hours was an ingenious way to kickstart the series. The highlights, without doubt, were when Jack snored and almost choked (magnificent), and when Jack tossed and turned in bed about 10 times in the space of 1 minute...fantastic.

Episodes 10-18 (9am - 5pm).
"The working episodes" - never has a desk job been more enthralling. Watching Jack type away furiously was impressive. When Jack had that stretch from 2:30pm - 4:15pm where he didn't have to press 'BackSpace' once, was awe-inspiring.

However, I must say that episode 22 (9pm - 10pm) was rather disgusting. Watching Jack on the 'john' for half the episode was rather disturbing, though at the time, he seemed to be reading an interesting article in the paper.

Thankyou for your patience.

Summary: 24 isn't bad, but Alias is better
Review: 24 is definitely not a bad show. It's pretty entertaining and exciting and the acting's not all too shabby either. However, I'm sad to say that it doesn't compare to its ABC spy show counterpart Alias. Alias is definitely THE show to watch and get hooked on, with neverending, edge-of-your-seat excitement and action. Plus, the cast, featuring Jennifer Garner and Victor Garber (both nominated for Emmys), is just tremendous, and deftly pulls off storyline after storyline. Take my advice and wait for the Alias DVD to come out before splurging on this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally getting its due...
Review: 24 is hands-down the finest dramatic television series that has been around in a VERY long time. The plot is thick and suspenseful, the format is enthralling and revolutionary, and the acting is top-notch. However, despite critical praise and strong fan loyalty, the ratings were mediocre and the general public never caught on. But the true fans knew this was something special, and maybe with this release, the rest of the world will catch up and make season two a success. Please...BUY THIS DVD AND SUPPORT 24. You will not regret it in the least.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent TV show, as convincing as it is suspenseful!
Review: 24 is just great. If you haven't seen it, buy the set.
