24

This show was a real revelation for TV with each episode being one hour real time of a 24 hour period a very clever concept. The main character is Jack Bauer a federal agent in the L.A counter terrorist Unit "C.T.U", played superbly by Kiefer Sutherland. I really would love to try and tell you the whole plot but then I would have to kill you as you would know to much, not to mention if I tried I think I would go insane by seasons two or as the 24 team like to call it Day Two. Basically the show focuses on a terrorist threat to the United States and Jack and his team are the only hope for stopping it, it also follows the actions of other CTU ...  Read the complete review

24 has to be one of the most addictive programme in the world. It is based in CTU, the counter terrorist unit in Los Angeles and follows agent Jack Bauer. It is filmed in realtime and each episode is 1 hour, with 24 episode in a series. I was first introduced to it by a friend and they leant us series 4. We loved it so much we bought the the set of series 1-6. Jack Bauer is a fantastic agent who battles against the many terrorist plots in LA and he always gets the job done. Each series has so many plot twists and turns you need to concentrate to keep up but the re-caps the beginning of each episode help. This is incredibly gripping and always ends on a ...  Read the complete review

Oh my goodness! 24 should come with some sort of warning about how addictive it is! I've only just discovered 24 and haven't been able to stop watching it. Due to the kindness of friends I've been able to secure DVD box sets for the last 6 seasons and I reckon this must be one of the best ways to watch it. 24 is a fast-paced thriller set in the fictional Counter-Terrorist Unit of LA, following Agent Jack Bauer as he fights to stay one step ahead of various terrorist plots (all conveniently organised in and around LA!) In order to keep the pace up for 24 hour-long (42 mins excluding ads) episodes there are numerous main plot twists and parallel sub-plots. ...  Read the complete review

This has to be one of the best shows on TV, and is easily the best detective/cop/fbi show out there today. I used to watch Law & order or CSI, and 24 really blows them out of the water! I just started watching this current season, but I am going to get the DVDs of the previous seasons and watch them. The best part of this show is that every one hour episode is one hour of the show in real life. This makes it really easy to follow along with the entire series because they don't rush too much information into an episode. The show focuses on the Agent Jack Bauer. This guy is hardcore, and does not take garbage from anyone. His ways of operation are ...  Read the complete review

This show has a really interesting concept: each series consists of twenty four episodes of an hour each and each episode represents one real-time hour. Thats a grand total of twenty four hours. One day. Series seven has just started. I've seen the first six. When I tell people that, their typical reaction is: 'You've wasted six days of your life wathcing that?'. My answer is no. I have not 'wasted' that time at all. Every second has been well spent. And anyway, once you remove the time allocated for adverts, each series is 18 hours long. So I feel a bit better about how I've spent my time. 24 is full of relentless action. The stories generally ...  Read the complete review
