Best action series ever in my book.
I started watching when the show was already in it's 4th season...
24 was just sublime tv. Every penny on screen and genuinely great craftsmanship in almost every department of the production.
The movie production seems to have gone a bit quiet, let's hope Bauer returns if only for two monumental hours!
I have just started thinking of Michelle Dessler...I'm going to have to leave this thread for a couple of minutes. ;-)
James Bond forever - and, for me, Jack is always hanging around, too.
Season 2: was maybe a D+ due to the "Perils of Kim" segments. Anyone who watched that bull will know what I'm talking about.
Season 3: was better give it a B
Season 4: was the best since Season 1 of course nothing can top that first ground breaking season
Season 5: I gave up after 20 episodes and never came back.

After eight seasons we finally get a movie! Anbody else really excited for this?
Keanu Reeves as
Plot:
Excited. No. I wil watch it where it belongs over 2-3 years after the release in the cinema, on Tv.
I read an article a few years ago where, I don't remember what producer said it, but they said that the movie would cover 24 hours, but not in real time (could you stand 12 movies just to cover an entire day? Assuming they came out every 2 years, we'd have to wait 22 years just to see how the day ended).
This film will be good.
I loved the first season, the second season was a let down, the third season was very good and the fourth was almost as thrilling as season 1. However by season 5 I felt that the act had had started to wear thin. I mean how many ways can you save the world??
24 finally jumped the shark in Season 5 and I never watched the show after that hokey Season 5
It would be difficult to accept anyone besides Kieffer Sutherland playing Jack Baurer though I think Keanu Reeves would be a good choice. However, I wish they would wait a few more years before trying this big screen.
I for one can do without a hero or film that glorifies torture and more violence as a good thing. Besides, what can Jack do that he hasn't already done? That is why I wish they would wait a few more years...
* the realtime effect
* the full day concept
No 2 hour movie can achieve both, and Redemption demonstrated that perfectly.
I don't know, a lot of Amazon reviewers list this as the best season (and not just the reviews written when this and 1 were the only seasons). It's my second favorite, after season 4.
I always thought Season 1 was the BEST. The fact that it started at midnight and the first 7-9 hours were in the dark gave it a surreal feeling. Also it ended at night as well. The shocking ending also did it for me.
As for Season 2 I thought it was a let down (the Perils of Kim was kinda out there-especially her being chased by the cougar)
Season 3 was a kick in the balls with the deaths of Sherry Palmer, Nina and Ryan (can't recall his last name) but it was a good season and seeing a grown up Kim.
Four was very very good and my second favorite season.
You say it all Bro!
I thought Season 5 was one of the best ones. We get a bunch of suprises as well as more of an insight into the slimy Charles Logan.
Season 6 was the weakest IMO.
I thought Season 5 was off to a good start. I liked the First Lady, Mrs Logan and the deaths of Michelle and Palmer was a real shocker. Not since the death of Mrs. Bauer in Season 1 was i so blown away. However, it just got to be too much. especially when Bauer boarded that diplomatic flight using his hood for cover (did that make him invisible?) and then to knock out the federal marshall and land the plane on the freeway? That was when I gave up. After 20 episodes, I stopped watching at that point and coud care less of how the final four hours went.
Logan was good but IMO it was here when they "jumped the shark". I felt the writers were insulting the fans and viewers. (Classic shark jumping, bad wrtiing, characters out of character..)
Bring it on! :D
Now, Chappelle (Ryan) I do miss. I liked him. I was glad to see Nina and Sherry Palmer die. Sherry was very unsympathetic, and Nina was just kind of stupid. She's betrayed everyone, she's killed innocent people, she gave terrorists information, yet through out it all, she has this sense of "I'm the victim, and I need to get away".
Yeah that landing the plane on the motorway was a bit OTT but the final hour was a cracker. Bauer's showdown with Logan was well acted as was the scene when he was taken away by his own Secret Service staff. The final sequence with Bauer was great too. I won't spoil it in case you haven't seen it.
I don't know about it being the absolute best but I agree that it was the only season to really capture the feeling of a 24 hour period. By the end you could see Jack was exausted. In subsequent seasons he looks the same at the start and at the end.
The closest Ive come is the whole of season 5 in 3 days.
