“To the world, he’s dead. But soon, he’ll be the most wanted man alive.” Who on earth will ever forget this amazing tagline of the series 24. This series is a real time story on a very bad day in the life of Jack Bauer.
The plot is an action packed show of complexities and adventure. Here, Jack Bauer is a federal agent of the Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit. As such, he stops all sorts of unfortunate events from happening. Some of these are bombings, viruses, assassination attempts. He also does all these while saving the people he cares for the most. What makes this show impressive and unique is its 24 hour real time sequence. Every hour of the very bad day is shown and completed within one episode. To complete the story, 24 episodes are shown.
24 is definitely one of those all time soon-to-be classics. People will surely love to watch this amazing show over and over again. What’s more, they will surely crave to experience another hour in the day of agent Jack Bauer. From his intellectual means of embattling evil to his dramatic life saving affairs, 24 hours surely isn’t enough for anyone to enjoy this amazing series.
The special effects of the show are also an astounding addition to its already superb storyline. Here, the explosions, lighting and other elements are always in tiptop shape. Even the stunts involving bombs, flying cars and others also add to the visual satisfaction viewers get from simply watching this show.
An amazing ensemble of actors can also be seen in this series. Playing the lead is veteran actor Kiefer Sutherland. Other actors and actresses you will find in this series are Carlos Bernard, Tony Almeida, Mary Lynn Rajskubb, Dennis Haysbert, Elisha Cuthbert, Reiko Aylesworth and Kim Raver. All of them have performed their roles in the most believable ways any actor can ever imagine.
Unlike other series, 24 is a very well rounded one. It’s not stuck in the all action type of television shows which only involve nonstop punching, gun shooting and explosions. However, it’s also far from the tearjerkers which talk and bawl about love and frustrations all of the time. It’s just somewhere in between. What makes it more flavorful though is the rich and complex story on which the whole series stands.
If you haven’t experienced the action yet, then you better start watching the latest season 6, which air on the Fox channel every Monday. This is one heck of a series you will surely love. If you would like to start with the previous seasons, 24’s first season can be viewed as reruns on some American and international regions as of the moment. You may also avail of the complete first season of 24 by purchasing DVDs or VCDs of the series. These are inclusive of 24 episodes, and sometimes some additional features like behind the scene shots, cast interviews and others.
Watch it now and relive Jack Bauer’s worst day ever! Remember… pure and non amalgamated viewing pleasure is just “24″ episodes away.
[...] The originality of the plot is a huge attraction for TV viewers. However, some viewers can’t help but compare its style with that of “24” and “Lost,” both suspense-driven shows that keep viewers hanging at the edge of their seats for the continuing episodes in the season in order to unravel the story. It also has that “time-element” of which “24” is famous for. [...]
