While I don't mind watching 24, I have to say that Kiefer Sutherland has finally emerged from the shadows of his beloved father, Douglas Sutherland, and his mother, Sarah Douglas, both are well-known actors. Kiefer is Jack Bauer and nobody could play him as well. The story is somewhat similar year after year and unpredictable. Jack Bauer is out to save the world or his daughter or the President of the United States. He has a terrific supporting cast like Leslie Hope as his wife; Dennis Haysbert as a Senator running for President; and others as well. The premise of a show set in 24 hours is quite innovative but I wonder when they get to sleep or if they ever do. It seems like they stay alive and conscious for 24 hours a day which is really a rarity in today's world. We need to sleep in order to function. While I think it's a brilliant show, I am not into drama because I get to emotionally attached to it.
