A lot of the shows that I watch have a sci-fi twist. For example, "Lost", "Fringe", "The X-Files". I have wanted to watch a show that did not have the sci-fi twist for a change. My brother suggested I watch "24". After watching the first episode I was hooked and I knew I would love this show.
"24" takes place obviously over a period of 24 hours. The show is centered on character Jack Bauer (Sutherland). He works for and is the director of CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit) in Los Angeles. He is husband to Teri Bauer and father to Kim Bauer.
The day is on the presidential primary. CTU gets wind of a very serious threat on Senator David Palmer's life. During all this, Kim is at a party and is kidnapped. Once Kim's mother Teri discovers Kim is missing, she goes out to find Kim and she too gets captured.
Jack being the director of CTU, he cant just leave and rescue his family, he has to work to rescue them while he is at work. Also, Jack believes there is a mole in CTU.
One of the biggest aspects of "24" that I like, are the many different situations. There is not just one event. There are multiple. In this way, "24" is similar to "Lost".
The acting by Kiefer Sutherland (Jack Bauer) and Dennis Haysbert (Senator David Palmer) was great! The interrogation scenes are very well acted by Sutherland.
Overall, season one of "24" is very good. About half way through it slows down for a little bit, but then ends with a boom! If you are a fan of TV dramas/action you will enjoy "24"
 Most unrealistic season., 2010-07-22
I have watched all seven seasons and this is the worse one. First, this is not the sixties or the very early seventies where you can rip the wires from underneath the dash and hot wire the car (you have to rip the ignition lock out to unlock the steering so you can steer the car). Second, air would be blowing through the ventilation ducts in Mall and most of the gas would have not entered the system, the scene at CTU was a little more convincing at least there was a fan moving a little air. Third how was the gas suppose to get into the gas lines at the Whitter Plant absorb it through the piping it was nothing but a room there was no way it would make it into the gas lines, even if they lowered the pressure it cannot magically transfer into the piping (maybe in the Star Trek world).
