Unless you live under a rock, you've probably heard of the hit show 24. You've seen the previews, read the 5-star reviews, and heard the conversations about it at the water-cooler. If you haven't started watching it yet, you might wonder if you should start watching. Well, let's put it this way.

If you like shows with action, you will like 24.

If you like shows with complex characters and interactions, you will like 24.

If you like shows with drama, mystery, and suspense, you will like 24.

If you like shows with humor, well you might "not" like 24.

If you like shows where you can watch an episode twice and view it in an entirely different way, you will like 24.

If you like shows where each and every scene has a meaning... Get the picture? Quite simply, if you have ever liked a TV show at all, you will be hooked.

In 24, each season takes place within one 24 hour period. In season 1 Jack Bauer is the head of an elite team of CIA agents who uncover an assassination plot targeting Presidential nominee David Palmer. Meanwhile, Jack's strained marriage to his wife, Teri, is pushed to the brink by the sudden disappearance of their troubled teenage daughter. What will the next 24 hours hold? I'll not spoil it for you.

anyway, in the now, 24 has entered its 5 season which takes 18 Months have passed since Jack Bauer stole away across the train tracks after faking his own death (you'll need to watch season 4 to understand why!). He's now living a quiet life in Bakersfield California, with a new love interest and her teenage son. But when a terrorist sniper's bullet kills one of his dearest friends (i'll not tell you who!), Jack Bauer cocks his gun and heads back to Los Angeles, and another day of work as America's most dangerous counter-terrorist agent.

This show can best be described as the most innovative, ground-breaking television show of the past 50 years. The reason this show is so ground breaking is the fact that it has used split screen cameras, and a real time format to create the element of a quality made show.

The characters are fantastic! In short, watch. You will be hooked, unless you're one of those nitpicky people who have a hernia if every single episode isn't exactly correct.

Otherwise, I must ask the question... Why aren't you watching 24? 24 rules all! 10/10
