As said above, this show is the most incredible show ever screened on television. It's more than just a show: If you get engrossed in it enough, it can change your life. Me? I live, breathe and sleep the show, because it is so extraordinary.

There are many reasons as to why this is. I'm not going to go into any spoilers, so it may be a little vague, but it is fair to say that Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) IS 24. Every scene he is in makes you want to watch and stay watching. He is so utterly believable in every scene, he is made for the role as Jack Bauer. The fact that everything is meant to happen in one extraordinary (but totally plausible) day means that as every hour goes on and the situation deepens, you are rooting for him so much. In some episodes the endings have left me feeling numb and wondering what on earth to do with myself, as some of the things are so incredible to watch.

It isn't just Kiefer that carries the show, far from it: The supporting cast is incredible: Tony, Mason and Palmer are amazing characters, and the main villain in series 3 is the best bad guy i have ever seen.

any thoughts that the show would be stretched as the series' grow due to its format are misguided. somehow the show remains literally edge of the seat stuff with some amazing twists, turns and emotions, yet remains entirely believable.

watch it. your life, like jack's, will never be the same again.
