Such a simple idea--yet so fiendishly complex in the execution. 24, as surely everyone knows by now, is a thriller that takes places over 24 hours, midnight to midnight, in 24 one-hour episodes (well, 45-minute episodes if you subtract the commercials). Everything takes place in real time, which means no flashbacks, no flash-forwards, no handy time-dissolves. Every strand of the plot has to be dovetailed and interlocked so things happen just when they should, in the right amount of time. Not that easy.
Creator Robert Cochran and his team of writers and directors have done an impressive job of putting the jigsaw together and keeping the tension ratcheted up high, as federal agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) runs around L.A. trying to stall an assassination attempt on an African American presidential candidate and rescue his wife and daughter from the clutches of the Balkan baddies. Twists, turns, revelations, and cliffhangers are tossed at us with satisfying regularity. It's not perfect: we get some hokey plot devices (instant amnesia, anybody?); the final twist makes no sense whatsoever; there are altogether too many huggy family moments; and as for Dennis Hopper's "Serbian" accent....
Even so, this is undeniably mold-breaking TV. Sutherland, rescuing his career from the doldrums in one heroic leap, fully deserves his Golden Globe. Sets and locations are artfully deployed, and Sean Callery's score is a powerful, brooding presence. Like Murder One and The Sopranos, 24 is one of those series that future TV thrillers will be measured against. --Philip Kemp

- A Great Companion To LOSTA couple of weeks ago, I purchased Season One of "24" for one simple reason...I'd heard it was good, but mainly I just wanted some sort of TV drama (my favorite kind of drama!) to pass the time until LOST returns. Suffice it to say, though, that I will be MAKING time for 24 in the coming weeks and months!
Essentially, the plot of "24" involves the United States Counter Terrorism Unit (headed by Jack Bauer) trying to prevent an assassination attempt on presidential hopeful Senator David ... Read More

- The Clock Is Ticking"WOW" that is what I said when i finished watching all 24 episodes of this exhilarating show. I must admit that this is one of the most unpredictable TV shows out there, every line; every minute is felt like a real life situation.
For those who are unfamiliar with the setting of the program worry, it's not complicated at all. The show begins at 12:00AM and the last episode end at 12:00am and through the course of 24 hours you go through the events of 3 different stories; all of which take ... Read More

- Gaping plot holes you could drive a bus throughSucked in by all the hype, plus the fact this is now (as I write this) into Season SEVEN, I thought I'd give this a whirl.
It starts at midnight. By 2am I was already irritated by Jack's wife and daughter, two insipid characters played by two of the worst female 'actresses' in TV history. Are they in some way related to the producers? I think we should be told.
By 4am I was starting to be annoyed as to how stupid the whole premise was. Trying to summarise the convoluted, complex ... Read More

- Thank Goodness for TortureThe first season was fun. The concept for "24" a novel, exciting one. No other season since was as good. The downside is that "24" helped the public get used to the idea that torture is a vital necessity for saving American lives -- an idea which most experts in the real world intelligence community overwhelmingly disagree. In effect, this television program has been successful propaganda for the rightwing and Bush Administration (regardless of what any actor may think of his role or makers of a TV show claim).

- Congratulations Barack Obama!!!When I found out that Barack Obama is going to be our first African-American President, I thought about this season of 24, because Barack is now the real David Palmer! The 24 hour time period takes place during the presidential primary. At midnight, Jack Bauer's daughter runs away from home, and around that time, he has been called in to CTU because a threat has been made on David Palmer's life. Throughout the day, Jack has to stop bad guys, find his kidnapped wife and daughter, deal with betrayal, try to stay awake, ... Read More
