This section is for people who have NOT seen it yet: I just finished Season 1 of 24 and I can't believe I waited this long to watch it! Then again, I'm glad because I dont think I could endure having to watch it week to week - I just couldn't handle the wait and commercial interruptions! Really the best way to do it is on DVD because all the cliffhangers will make you keep watching - even if you know you have more important things to do or are up way too late on a school night. I know there have been a lot of reviews pointing out the flaws and I would have to agree that some plot points are so ridiculous that they will bother you, but do not believe for a second that they ruin the show or make it not worth watching. Overall, the show is just fantastic - a pure rush of pulse-pounding adrenaline. Kind of reminds me of the Amazing Race in a way - by the time you get to the end of an episode you just HAVE to watch the next one to see what happens. This is not a show to fall asleep to - it's a show that will keep you up all night. WARNING - SPOILERS!!! That said, I cannot resist adding my $.02 on the things that bothered me. This section is for people who have seen it already: 1) It has been said before here and I will say it again - having the entire fate of a terrorist plot rest with 2 drugged out teenagers and a hippie van. To think that they blew up a plane, got an assassin to have picture perfect facial reconstructive surgery, and infiltrated a gov't agency like CTU, yet left it up to Beavis and Butthead to handle the kidnapping is totally ridiculous. 2) The pathetic women on this show. Ok let's see, in a 24 hour period we had women as the victims of 3 kidnappings, a rape, amnesia, being suffocated, a female cop shot and killed when she went for the janitor instead of the gunman, and a wrist-slicing suicide (later found out to be murder). You had the female on the plane get the ID card by whoring it up in the plane bathroom, then her lesbian lover gets shot because she wanted more money, a hysterical campaign employee who when working with the govt under heavy surveillance decides to kill a vital suspect because he LIES to her and says he LOVES her, a conniving first lady, a bright campaign staffer who is too weak to say no to her and decides to flush her career down the toilet to proposition the senator, (oh and that reminds me the senator's daughter was raped too!!) jack's wife teri is unable to find her way down from mulholland drive even though she's been up there like 3 times in one day, her overall inability with directions and inability to find a road, a car, a payphone, or knowing which way to go and which way she should obviously NOT go, oh and how about parking a car on the side of a cliff while we're at it? This finally brings us to Nina, who before we find out is the evil heartless Yelena we think is just a ho who sleeps with everyone she works with. WHAT UP?! Can anyone think of a woman on this show who had ANY redeeming qualities?? Yet EVERY single "good guy" male character is noble, virtuous, honest and always does the right thing. Excuse me while I go barf. 3) This brings me to the most ridiculous of all and I can't believe it was not touched on more here. David Palmer. Love the actor, but COME ON. This is a POLITICIAN, running for PRESIDENT, who is HONEST. Do I even need to elaborate on this? Even if it will cost him his campaign, he will always do the right thing and tell the truth. I found the whole first story with him about the murder/accident cover up to be boring and a waste of time. Dude. Your daughter was *raped*. What do you care if it was an accident or murder or what? YOU should've been the one kicking his butt, and you should be happy to cover it up. But you'd rather send your son to JAIL than just let it go because some scumbag who raped your daughter died afterwards? PUH-LEASE. That is even more ridiculous than Dennis Hopper's accent. Which brings me to... 4) Dennis Hopper's Hippie/Mexican/German/Wanna Be Serbo-Croation accent. Let me just suggest right now that the only way to get through those last few episodes is with a lot of whiskey. Could someone please tell me the point of bringing in Dennis Hopper for the role to begin with? Why couldnt they just find *anyone* who could pull off the accent? Sheer torture. In fact, he should have used his accent as torture/leverage with Jack and he probably would've gotten everything he wanted.
