I started to watch 24 with season 1, of course, but after a few episodes, I was very disappointed. I was very close to stop watching this show. I was lucky that Kiefer is a very good actor and, therefore, I continued to watch the show. Season 2 was GREAT! Season 3 was GREAT! Season 4 was GREAT! Season 5 was GREAT! I am glad I didn't stop watching this excellent TV Show. But, after 5 seasons, I have a question: It was so bad season 1? Especially the first 5-10 episodes... I am ready to watch again that season because I cannot believe that is such a big difference between season 1 and the other seasons. My opinion is that TV Show "24" is the best TV Show ever (together with "Prison Break").
