This show is absolutely the best show on television these days. Engrossing, intense, suspenseful, and ingenious - and that's just the first episode. Sure, there are some plot holes, but when you're caught up in the rush that is 24, they don't matter. People complain that 'it's not realistic', 'everything intense happens at the top of the hour', etc. So? It's television. It's supposed to be entertaining, not realistic. To those of you who have never seen it before and are considering watching it, I suggest renting the first disc and seeing how you like it. The show is not for everyone, either. But if you enjoy a good action thriller, and don't mind some unrealistic plot twists, then you'll love 24. So break out the DVDs and get ready for the Jack Bauer Power Hour.
