From its beginning there has never been a television as consistently action packed as 24. Season 5 may very well be the most entertaining season of television ever produced.

Sure, there are sequences, that upon reflection, may lack credibility, but when you are caught up in the story, as you will be, you won't even notice.

The series needs to be enjoyed in order. As I said, in my opinion Season 5 is the best but Seasons 1-4 should be watched first to provide key background.

All seasons provide edge-of-your-seat excitement. And all provide examples of heroism, primarily from the lead character portrayed by Kiefer Sutherland, but also by others.
