Review of 24

24 (2001–2010)
6/10
Would be better cut down to 12 episodes
10 July 2006
Warning: Spoilers
First of all, by the 12th episode I was ready for wrap-up, and truly the writers had to contort things ridiculously in order to stretch out those last 6 episodes. However, I watched the video--2 or 4 episodes at a a time..I cannot imagine waiting a week for so little action in each episode. The other thing that is most prominent is that lots and lots of innocent bystanders, guards, secret agents, etc die in the process of protecting our main character's two family members. What about the families of these people? Spoiler: the basic premise of the plot is silly because the criminal Druzin is a hard boiled mass murderer, hence unlikely to be quite so sentimental and revengeful for losing his wife & daughter. And Jack takes ridiculous risks and puts others in danger to save his own wife & daughter--thereby disregarding the integrity of his dedication to the counter terrorism. Lots of plot surprises--which are fun and hold one still.
