This was one of my very first tv shows i start watching when i start watching tv shows and i have to see ive never seen a tv shwo with a format so catching and compelling "the one-hour-real-life-episode" format got me everytime i found myself at the very edge of my seat looking at the clock ticking nervious about what was going to happen next and Kiefer Sutherland IS Jack Bauer thats the reason why Legacy failed and with it i think that cause some sort of "Missing-Ace-Effect" that happens when the prime character, the face, of a tv show gets erased from the formula and the show fails and this alreadsy happened a couple of times i mean The Good Wife when Josh Charles's character gets killed and the same will happen with House Of Cards this year trust me (WARNING: Im not saying Spacey should stay but its inevitable the downhill without him) anyway bacjk to 24 i agree maybe that after FIVE seasons the show can get a bit downhill about plots and all but this shiow is good and thaks Jack for making me watch more tv because you were my FIRST tv show and i loved you there Kiefer is Jack and Jack is 24!! BEST-SHOW-EVER!
