24 (2001)

Watchseries; It's 2020. So obviously I am late to the party but boy I enjoyed the party. I caught up with the series during quarantining. A unique concept which had elements of same old thrill, action & a little bit of drama which I quite enjoyed watching it. Whenever I completed a season I used to think what kind of storyline they would bring in the next season coz I felt they used to cover all of the threats each & every season but they definitely bought something new each season. I so love the chase, the cat and mouse game between Jack & the terrorists but I felt that just to cover the 24 hour episodes, they had to drag the storyline. Anyway, that's my only complain but I enjoyed it. Also I am curious to see if this show would have been made now, it would have been a treat to watch all of the cast using the latest technology and all. Expecting them to revive. But oh well, 10/10 from me.

24 watchseries. This show definitely has re-written the book on intelligent and credible suspense on TV. Extremely well acted, written and directed. Truly gripping, heart-stopping suspense from one hour to the next. The show is so well done that you can easily forgive the very few plot devices that seem a little weak. When a show gets 99% of everything right, it's very hard to quibble. Keifer Sutherland has never been better as the flawed hero. "24" deserves to be a model on which all future TV suspense thrillers can be compared to. A+++

24, What can i say? A breakthrough in TV history, one of the greatest show's to reach our screen in a long time. With amazing plot lines that changed constantly, you can never trust a character no matter what, and you can never grow to love a character as tradition within 24 has it, everyone dies in the end.

Season One was fantastic followed by another amazing season, then the show shook with a rockety season 3. However producers reinvented 24 with its forth season followed by another brilliant season, but the curse of the third season struck once more, season 6. It started well, but towards the end it made you feel, they've done this before, and you would find yourself thinking, what actually happened ? Producers promise Season 7 and 8 to be a new re-invention, with a totally new cast, lets hope it survives...

This show can best be described as the most innovative, ground-breaking television show of the past 50 years. The reason this show is so ground breaking is the fact that it has used split screen cameras, and a real time format to create the element of a quality made show.

The show follows the worst days of likable, down-to-earth hero Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) and each episode chronicles every hour of the day, and is shot in real-time. What makes this show so unique are the character relationships, the shows writing and the attention to detail.Whether the shows themes are about kidnappings, bomb threats, personal vendettas, assassinations, or terrorist attacks the themes are handled in such a compelling way that the viewer is hooked at every jump and turn.

The viewers really learn to care about Jack as we learn more about his life and his past. Kiefer Sutherland was perfect for the role as Jack Bauer, so much that many people describe him as "born for the role". Dennis Haysbert does a superb acting job as Sen David Palmer and the show has an excellent group of characters who make the support team of the show and these include Carols Bernard as Tony and Elisha Cuthbert as Kim Bauer. 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.

The scripts on this show are top class and they deserve a mention in their own right. The attention to detail as I mentioned earlier is prominent with the real time aspect of the show. There are very rarely any mistakes with the time aspect of the show, and this is a strength of the show. The show always uses multiple split screen camera shots and this is innovative work because it helps to make the show seem realistic and also in real time. You will also see most of the camera focused on Jacks point of view and this is to make the show from a humans point of view and it helps to bring the viewer more involved in the show.

The story may change; new characters may arrive and leave but one thing always stays the same; the underlying story of the show is about one mans fight to do what is right. If there is a bad aspect to this show it may be that some of the action sequences are a bit too predictable, but this is rare and should not detach from the viewers viewing pleasure of the show. This show will make you feel every emotion under the sun but nevertheless it is gripping, thrilling storytelling of the highest calibre. Long may this show continue and the legacy of this show will be remembered for many years to come. Miss this at your peril 10/10

I have to first be honest & say I'm not a huge TV show person. I've watched plenty, but nowadays I tend to prefer series on streaming services such a Netflix, prime etc, or movies. However, around 6 years ago my husband & I discovered 24 & started binging from the beginning, and this was after the show had been wrapped up for about 10 years.. and even then it still held up & never felt dated.. we were so into it, to the point we would stay up well past midnight to catch just 1 more episode, and another & another- and we both would comment that had we started to watch it back when it aired on Television, there's no way we would've been able to handle the suspense of waiting week to week for the next episode to air! Talk about cliffhangers! The main points I will touch on that many of the other reviewers mentioned is Kiefer Sutherland was truly born to play the role of Jack Bauer, and his character is like no other. There have been many jokes said about "Jack Bauer for president", and all sort of other memes about Jack being the hero that he is. Never mind the plots of each season, the execution of the storylines, the action scenes, I can go on & on. It's just so good. I will agree with another reviewer who said the first 4 seasons are probably the best, but I wouldn't just stop there. Infact, just recently I actually decided to binge the entire franchise all over again! Enough time had passed that it was sort of like watching it again for the first time. Even though I knew what most of the outcomes would be I still enjoyed it just as much as when I watched the first go round. We own the entire box set so I'm sure I will rewatch again down the line! And I PRAY they find a way to bring Jack Back.. I've heard chatters, I think it's something everyone including Kiefer & the writers want, I suppose it just has to be the right fit, to make it relevant to current times, and create a new plot that they haven't done before, as another reviewer mentioned the recycling of plots in the later seasons. Though I'd love nothing more than to see some older characters return, I think that's impossible (for obvious reasons I don't want to spoil) but a new set of fresh faces & new environment would be plenty for me!!

Also, if you have not seen the 2014 reboot 24:Live another day, check it out! It's worth the watch!

What i found amazing is how can anyone criticize 24 ... The actors are not boring, they all have their own role on the show. Each season speaks about a terrorist problem, and what's the problem? do they look so much alike? no! If you start to watch a episode with all the suspense and REALLY GREAT action, you'll keep sit on the couch till it's end! Watching 24 won't make you smarter or add anything new to your brains, but will definitely entertain you more than any other TV show for 43minutes and you'll pray till next Monday arrives! If you expect a drama, or worst, a similar show to any of those recent movies such as "body of lies", you can turn your head to the other side, 24 only offers what best the TV got, the pleasure of be inside the screen..

It's a perfect 10 in 10 for 24 and Jack Bauer!
