  • Action Packed Jack!

    "Perfect"
    You will always be on your toes with this show! There are so many good scenes, and Jack plays his roles very well! I love how he undergoes life endangering stunts. His character is so intense, it's kind of hard NOT to watch you know?!! The makeup here is great, everything is very realistic yet fantasized IMO, and he's a hero and a family man. What more do you want out of a show?!moreless
  • Writing was predictable after Season 2

    "Mediocre"
    Spy152 hit the nail on the head! In addition, I have never watched a show with writing that is not only very predictable, but at times insulting to viewers. How many times do we see Jack shoot a bad guy at 80' with ease in one show, and in another, he can't hit the side of a barn? How many times can Kim be kidnapped? How many times will the president believe his wife/ex-wife despite being lied to in very bad ways? CTU has broken so many laws, it's crazy that it has not been shut down early on. For example, in the earlier episodes, Jack breaks a terrorist/drug dealer out of jail by allowing prisoners out of their cells in order to create a distraction. However, so many people were killed or seriously wounded as a result, including prison employees! How often do we see a mole in CTU? This happens way too often to believe that they really do a thorough background check on their employees. In addition, the morale at CTU would have to stink because everyone is suspicious of one another, and they spend more time trying to figure out what each other is doing, and not enough time on their own work. These are just a speckling of the outrageous scenarios that the writer(s) come up with.

    We had contests during our viewings to see how long it takes to determine what will happen next, and at first it was fun, but it did not take long to realize that there was no longer a challenge - it was too easy to figure the storyline out.

    If you have a hard time knowing what is going on in the show, or you just don't want to admit it, then you will love the show, no problems or complaints. I for one would like to see more effort by the writer(s) to make the plots challenging, or realistic.

    I know many will disagree with what I've had to say, but I'm calling it like I see it...moreless

    I became a fan of 24 before the first episode even aired. From the minute I saw the trailers I knew it was a show I had to see. I stuck with the show for its entire eight season run and enjoyed every second of it. Emmy Award winner Keifer Sutherland is excellent and more as troubled Counter Terrorist Unit Agent Jack Bauer. Bauer is without a doubt one of the greatest television characters in history. Sutherland was also helped by a great supporting cast and some of the best written scripts of any television series. The excitement and emotion of this classic television series has been unmatched by any that has come before or after it. If you haven't already, make some time for 24. You won't be disappointed.moreless
  • "Intense"

    9.5
    "Superb"
    The only word that can sum up this show is "Intense" Jack Bauer does what ever the f*ck it takes to get the job done. Hes like Captain America but even more of a bad @$$. Its awesome how he yells "wheres the f*cking bomb" and how he brutally kills terrorists. Jack Bauer is the real american hero not G.I. Joe. Anyways i have only recently started watching 24 and let me tell you, it has so much tension you can slice a knife through it (if that makes any sense) anyways Jack Bauer will always be the man, keep up the great work Jackmoreless
