'Tika tika tika click, "I'm in!"' meets 'Bang bang pew pew boom "Clear!"' First of all, if you are a dude, watch it. You'll definitely enjoy it. How many times a man can save the day? Country? World? Universe? I don't know and if this guy is Jack Bauer, I don't care! Every season has the same flow, a threat -obviously-, a guy that turns out bad, an annoying woman -maybe more than one woman-, a dumbass teenager, Jack Bauer -who is proved himself as a semigod but no one ever listens him-, a man/woman who wants to put Jack in prison, "I need blah blah and I need blah blah now!", chase, chase, phew phew, Jack does it -again-, end of the day. Sounds boring, right? But no, show isn't. Every episode, every hour gets you and raises tension. End of every episode, you find yourself looking for more and that's a good thing. Actually, as a action show, 24 has its own moments. Like father-daughter moments, father-son moments, Jack's dilemmas... These moments are really touching and actings are impressive. Some characters are remarkable, like David Palmer, Aaron Pierce, Charles Logan -Gregory Itzin did hell of a job as C. Logan-, Sherry Palmer... And most of the actors are simply great for their roles, they won't bore you with dull faces, or overacting. But women and teenagers in this show, they are just here for your anger. They always do the wrong thing, say the wrong thing, meet the wrong person, meet the wrong person or even a cougar! Yes, they even did that too. That's OK but I don't know why writers hate them too much. If you don't care some mistakes and you're looking for action, here, watch 24, you won't be disappointed.
I leave you here with a Jack Bauer fact: "If everyone listened to Jack Bauer, the show would be called 12."
