There were certain seasons of 24 that were not good, but the whole series was excellent! I was very surprised that people would give this show 1/10 as this is one of the best shows ever made for TV. I randomly rented 24 and finished the first season within 24 hours. I remember not studying for finals because I wanted to finish so badly. Hooked on the first season, I rented season 2...and got even more addicted. Season 2 was even better than one. I was always looking forward to what Jack Bauer will do next. He's a super smart and competent agent. And like Cranston in Breaking Bad, Sutherland was irreplaceable as the main protagonist. I have yet to see season 8, but my favorites were seasons were 1,2, 5, and 7. They were spectacular. Seasons 3, 4 and 6 were just okay, in my opinion. Overall, 24 is a great show...watch it, if you can (only when you have no exams or deadlines of any kind). Every episode feels like a good movie. You will not be disappointed.
