I have to first be honest & say I'm not a huge TV show person. I've watched plenty, but nowadays I tend to prefer series on streaming services such a Netflix, prime etc, or movies. However, around 6 years ago my husband & I discovered 24 & started binging from the beginning, and this was after the show had been wrapped up for about 10 years.. and even then it still held up & never felt dated.. we were so into it, to the point we would stay up well past midnight to catch just 1 more episode, and another & another- and we both would comment that had we started to watch it back when it aired on Television, there's no way we would've been able to handle the suspense of waiting week to week for the next episode to air! Talk about cliffhangers! The main points I will touch on that many of the other reviewers mentioned is Kiefer Sutherland was truly born to play the role of Jack Bauer, and his character is like no other. There have been many jokes said about "Jack Bauer for president", and all sort of other memes about Jack being the hero that he is. Never mind the plots of each season, the execution of the storylines, the action scenes, I can go on & on. It's just so good. I will agree with another reviewer who said the first 4 seasons are probably the best, but I wouldn't just stop there. Infact, just recently I actually decided to binge the entire franchise all over again! Enough time had passed that it was sort of like watching it again for the first time. Even though I knew what most of the outcomes would be I still enjoyed it just as much as when I watched the first go round. We own the entire box set so I'm sure I will rewatch again down the line! And I PRAY they find a way to bring Jack Back.. I've heard chatters, I think it's something everyone including Kiefer & the writers want, I suppose it just has to be the right fit, to make it relevant to current times, and create a new plot that they haven't done before, as another reviewer mentioned the recycling of plots in the later seasons. Though I'd love nothing more than to see some older characters return, I think that's impossible (for obvious reasons I don't want to spoil) but a new set of fresh faces & new environment would be plenty for me!!
