24

If a guy walks up to you and says "My name is Jack Bauer and I work for C.T.U. Los Angeles", you're probably in big trouble. 24 is a real time action television show about a Counter terrorist unit from Los Angeles which is faced with the unstopped threat to national security from many terrorists who try to hurt the U.S. or it's citizens. Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) is the best agent from C.T.U. and he usually leads the battle against terrorists with the help of his co-workers. Jack is an unusual character who's methods of operation are very often questionable but by God he'll get the job done. Each episode is 45 minutes long and represents one hour in the day of battle against the threat. One day - one season of the show with 24 episodes.
A big bonus of the show is that 24 is constantly surprising viewers in unexpected moments, and you never know what to expect on the show. Anything can and does happen. 24 will make you feel every emotion under the sun but nevertheless it is gripping, thrilling storytelling of the highest calibre
Personally I love the show. I think it's the most innovative television show in the last 30 years and everyone who misses it is at a great loss.
My rating: 5/5
