Goofs:
Continuity: In Season 2, where Jack Bauer and Sherri Palmer are racing through LA in the black GMC Denali SUV, Jack has a heart problem and the SUV goes careening into a nearby ditch. Prior shots showed the SUV having all four GMC alloy rims. The SUV that was shown actually going into the ditch had a regular black steel rim on the front passenger side. In the very next shot (appearing in the following episode), the front right wheel returned back to a regular GMC alloy rim. more

One of the best series ever made for television, 5 June 2007

24 is a great TV series. It's design and story lines are really a thrill to experience. The day out of the life of agent Jack Bauer is one of a kind. The series plays in real time (including the commercial breaks).

I can certainly recommend to watch this series. It's even more fantastic, if you not watch it as it's aired, but record some episodes and then watch them in in a pattern of 2 per evening for some days after another. In this way you find yourself addicted to the adrenaline which 24 unleashes.

This is TV as it was designed. I must admit that I look forward to the movie which is planned. I hope not that it's a normal movie, but that they put elements of the real time (or something similar) into it. At least the thrill should be similar.

I just finished Day 6 (season 6) and now have to rehab from my 24 addiction again.
