24: Season One Reviews:
Not very real...but very entertaining 
2009-12-03 - 24 is known as "adrenaline" television. This is because the show it utterly intentse, with contstant twists, and never really lets up. Honestly, if you watch one episode, you'll be drooling to see the next one. In fact, most people go through this show on dvd very quickly as its hard to stop. That being said, watching the episodes back to back lends itself to a few problems. No this isn't about the fact that no one ever sleeps, naps, eats, or uses the bathroom. That would make for lame television and I don't really care about that. No the problem is with the fact that SOOO many things happen in such a short span, or episodes forget what happened before. [BEGIN SPOILERS] For instance, there is a girl who is kidnapped, drugged, broken arm, hit by a car and in surgery within only a few hours. Now, while this is possible, seeing it back to back makes you start to role your eyes in boredom. What was next, he mom calls and tells her she was adopted? Or she finds out that she's actually dead, and this is purgatory? Also, watching the show back to back really made the biggest shocker, the traitor at the end of the series, far less believable. Somehow, a character, who was set up to be killed by the bad guys, found out who another traitor was, and investigated her, as well as was the only reason Jack Bauer succeeded most the time was actually a traitor? This was very unbelievable, and was disapointing. [END SPOILERS]
That being said, the show is very entertaining. I was hooked and enjoyed watching each episode, and was dying to see more. Other than some mild problems with the plot, and some odd plot decisions that didn't make sense, I was very pleased. Highly recomended!
Hit the road, Jack!
2009-12-01 - The first season of this emblematic and original thriller could not be more successful and structurally ambitious.
Based on the bloody facts that shadowed the bitter conflict in the antique Yugoslavia, the clever plot has to do with a sinister and zealous complot which involves Jack Bauer and a candidate for President, Charles Palmer.
A complex web of events and secondary facts will catch you from the first hour until the last hour of this day.
Hair raising tension, an stellar cast (a true hit to have chosen to Dennis Hopper as Victor Darzen, the boss of this conspiracy) and an overwhelming edition process will make the rest.
Don't let to acquire the first of this successful saga that really caught the whole attention of an impressive and growing audience over these years.
Most notable of the series 
2009-12-01 - I was reluctant when this show first aired, but the mixture of suspense, the thrill and drama of the show capativated me to continue watching. I have been keeping up with the show. So far I believe that season 1 is one of the best in the series. The show has had some ups and downs, but it continues to deliver and I hope it does so for the remainder of its run on the air. I would recommend this season its a great price and a great show.
Regarding 24 
2009-11-17 - The first season of 24 is a simplistic, unrealistic, and, at times, utterly clichéd (amnesia? talk about a deux ex machina!) presentation of the War on Terror as an extended "non-stop action thriller." Even if we ignore the consequentialist ethical values which are actively promoted by the series in question (i.e., the belief that torture is acceptable under certain circumstances; the belief that key civil liberties can and should be violated under certain circumstances; and so on and so forth), the greatest flaw of the show is that, in the end, it is little more than a hodgepodge/pastiche of who knows how many "B movie" plots, spread over a monotonous and insufferable string of twenty four episodes. Save yourself some time, drop this from your queue, and just rent/re-watch the original Die Hard. At his best, Jack Bauer is a pale shadow of John McClane.
addictive
2009-10-23 - 24 should come with a warning: Beware highly addictive. I don't even know I'm a human being watching this it is so engrossing.
Hang onto your seat!
