At last it came to this. A show with an original idea and unique premise during its first couple seasons degenerated to a fanboy/fangirl fiction. The storyline is simple and repetitive. Bad swarthy guys from Third World countries or old adversaries like Russia or China which are enemies of big mighty old USA have always a WMD (weapon of mass destruction )....All law enforcement agencies , legal institutions are ineffective against them because well they are normal and they are too nice and they play by the book ( writers always overlook that "book" is one of the most important things which puts difference between us and supposedly eeeevil bad guys ) and bad guys are ultra organized , prepared and unreasonably evil. Millions of lives is at stake as always. But wait there is a factor they didn't consider. A government agent/superman/james bond/rambo : Jack Bauer. He kills , maims , blackmails , tortures without mercy , second thinking , reservation or accountability. He is dream of every 13 year old juvenile who wants to be world saving hero and maximized ignorant ultra patriots...

Unbelievably stupid plot twists and holes , badly written dialogue , sci-fi technologies , instant beaming between from one distant location to another which is impossible in most ideal conditions with conventional means in real life ( there goes real time aspect which this show supposed be all about ) and characters without natural needs complete the picture. Seriously all constant fan attention about this idiotic show seriously terrifies me about mental state of American public. Maybe one day we will also learn special mutant powers of Jack Bauer...

Only three stars for real time idea and drama aspect of first two seasons
